Cabochon Stone Turtle! Eps 303

12 gauge aluminum is shaped, hammered and formed around a cabochon with 26 gauge antique copper wire to make a unique turtle pendant.

Love the simplicity of this design. I have a gorgeous piece of ocean jasper I’m anxious to try this on. Thank you. 🦋

[@AannshaJones]

I like how you made this, well thought through (even though the front flippers are the big ones 😉. I love how you experiment.

[@kathleenralston2192]

Perfect music for this video. Do it, do it. I like the turtle too.

[@vickifrakes2761]

Love the blue one.

[@bextermonkey246]

This design is seriously HOT. Here in South Florida, Turtles are a Passion and this one really rocks! You are very generous with sharing this creation. People will Pay for this! As always , Many Thanks!

[@ataattosbt]

Very clever, Great design. Did you know many Native American tribes call North America Turtle Island?

[@missnancylee6981]

Hey Diana 🙋. There is a city in the northern part of the lower peninsula of Michigan. It's name is Macinaw City. As the story goes, the name comes from either French or the local indian word (or both) for turtle. Just a bit off shore on the Lake Huron side is an island called Macinaw Island. On the island there's a fort left over from the French and indian war (or some other war). The name of the fort is "Fort Michila-Macinaw". I think that may be "Little Turtle", or whatever. Anyway, just a bit of trivia for fun😸.

Love this design!!!

[@ochoulik481]

Love your turtle pendant, especially the blue sodalite one. What a great idea. Will have to try this when I get home. Can you use some glue in the back to hold it firmer?

[@torrabuckingham8734]

This is my favorite one.

[@prisma29]

[@jennietrott]

Love it!

[@missnancylee6981]

Hey 🙋. I'm glad you are feeling better 😌. I love the little turtle. He sooo koot. Whatever happened to the first little guy you made? or don't I want to know? 😧😐

[@MattsCrazyArt]

He's a bit off, first not anatomically correct - the big flippers should be in the front. He's still sitting on the table

[@iraidalodevic3454]

nice!!

[@bduncan6240]

I'm new to this and would love to try and see what I can create myself! Can anyone be as so kind to tell me where I can get the stones that are used for this project as well as the wire and what is used for a chain and where can I find the anvil that is used to hammer out the wire. I know it's a lot to ask for but appreciation is beyond saying if I can get someone to help me with the questions that I have. Thanks in advance!! Belinda

[@MattsCrazyArt]

Belinda, most of it is keywords on amazon. Just try words "stone cabochon", "mini anvil" check the dimensions of every stone, 12 gauge aluminum brown, 26 gauge antique copper wire.

Please be feeling better, if not put your health before these vids!!! -Skittles ✌

[@scrimshawrose3236]

I like the turtle, you sound a little better after resting. I'm not tryin g to advertise anything but my daughter turned me on to this Cold ease stuff, that's its name but not sure how it is spelled, if you use it as you feel something coming on it goes away very quickly. This is really a nice pattern for a turtle though, and the smaller wires kind of look like the markings on his shell. Cool Beans :)

[@bextermonkey246]

Your Aussies viewers are gonna flip! it's like Aboriginal. Great work!

[@susanabdelsalam6303]

I love it! The extra wire it look more like a turtle shell.

[@maggiechildofgod974]

Hope you are feeling better!!!

[@mytree123]

[@naldasafford5342]

[@virginiaconstantino3247]

Great design!!! Being a turtlephile, (my mom collected turtle art, and I inherited her love) the big swimming flippers are in the front on sea turtles...

[@MattsCrazyArt]

Oh wow, that's right! Good thing the final one was a box turtle.

[@updownstate]

Please tell YT to fix the captions.

[@marijaingeborgindic6161]

Super,pozdrav zagreb

[@angelabarton2551]

The second stone turtle looks stunning, I'm gonna try this one as I love turtles,,,I think a cat or owl would look cool this way too,,,,, you give very inspiring ideas thank you.👍🐈🐢

[@rhaven50]

I'm impressed. Hope you're feeling better dear.

[@jesseelisabeatty3259]

Where do you order your wire from? I cant find reasonably priced wire..or tools..thanks you are awesome.where did you get your mini anvil? Thanks again

[@juneribbons5196]

It's awesome. I have a silver turtle from a key chain that broke. I could add a stone to. I have both the shell part and the underbelly part. I could make two of them.

[@amberlords1657]

Thank you so much. So fun! Ill send you a pic later of my turtle. My phone is dead at the moment.

[@mildred6305]

[@DiNoWireArt]

It sounds like you’re feeling better. Also great turtle.

[@MattsCrazyArt]

Thanks, DiNo. I would be curious to see what kind of turtle you would sculpt.

[@DiNoWireArt]

Matt's Crazy Art I’ve made a few turtles before. I have not done one with just copper. I think I will try one though. I also make turtles with the champagne caps. I’ll post some pictures on the Facebook page.

[@toMickorNottoMick]

That was really neat. Thanks for sharing!

[@Graciela_Ibarra83]

Great design! Really awesome.

[@bextermonkey246]

[@nancycornett9949]

Wow! I really love the second one!

[@sheilagraham-tyler8441]

Very creative and fun.

[@patricia.nichols]

Gives me an idea for a turtle!

[@mildred6305]

Beautifuulll😍🙌thanks

[@brigittegrisby6050]

Jolie tortue i like

[@Ih8housewrk2]

Awesome!

[@normarossy7050]

I like it

[@Lunarstruck1]

Do you really need the smaller wire on this piece? I prefer never to use it if I can help it. Is there a way to use one small piece of the same wire instead?

[@MattsCrazyArt]

I tried several patterns with just the thick wire. It wasn't secure enough. There is probably a way but I haven't found it yet where it's secure enough that I feel safe giving it to someone.

[@debbiecolon5786]

Hey Matt, I have been watching you for quite a while now ( never commented) but I must say the “ Turtle “ (my fav,plus I have a turtle tat) is awesome!! Great Job!!!🤓💚

[@ivettec665]

Cute

[@rvo3333]

It's really creative and cute. I don't think you need the extra wire. 😎

[@pattibrooks5198]

That is soooooo funny . . .I was recently tryin to figure out how to do a turtle with the wire and a natural shell. ( walnut or some other type of nut shell. ) turtles have. Always sold for me. Ty Mighty Matt

[@sandywall5266]

Matt's you never fail to amaze us. Another fabulous piece! There's a lot of turtle fans out there.😽💕💓

[@mizpike1683]

Love them!! Too cute! Blessings, G’ma ❤️🙏🌀✨🤗👏✌️

[@paigelee6321]

Very cute idea love it ❤️✌🏻💙😊

[@TariHuffaker]

I like the second one best. Sees like the cord needs some stoneware beads.

[@juanitapearson5282]

Oh how cute! Love it!

[@clarewillison9379]

Just wondering if we could hammer a section at a time before moving on to shape the next bit? It’s impressive how well you anticipate the dimension changes but lesser mortals might not do as well...

[@MattsCrazyArt]

Claire, a lot of trial and error from previous pieces
