Experiments with Silver: "Cracking" Metal

[@pbjsilverstudio4882]

That final piece you made with it was what caught my eye at first because I have a large bead on my bench I’m working on with a similar look only I’m sawing my mill printed scrapes apart and soldering them to the surface of the bead for a mosaic look. This cracking experiment is cool and you finished piece is really lovely. I am gold leafing the space between the small cut pieces on my bead.

Ultra useful information. Thanks Nancy. You are ultra good at this.

[@allanthompson9695]

Very unique piece at the end. Amazing.

[@inspiredcaroline24]

WOW! I haven't even learnt to solder properly but watching your video has tapped into my mixed media side. The piece at the end is just glorious! I can only dream of having the skills & a studio! Gosh, I wish I could borrow you for a few months.... Fab!! Tyfs 😲🙃😊

[@DeborahBergenbeaderreader]

Nancy you crack me up and down! Your work is amazing 😉! I’ve learned so much from you! You’re amazing!

[@NancyHamiltonJewelry]

Thanks Deborah!!!

[@Cedartree-cf6om]

Thank you Nancy! Always a pleasure to learn from your videos and wisdom! 😍

[@esalenchik]

Loved these experiments, and I’m looking forward to the video on the finished piece. Thanks for putting on the mad scientist hat (or apron, as the case may be) for us 😁

[@stlounsbury]

That is beautiful 💫

[@sheri4673]

Nancy What a stunning piece! Could you offer a little direction on how you soldered these chips? Given how they've been beat up I'm assuming you can't get them flat enough to make full contact... spot-soldered? (I don't know that that's an actual term!)

[@alicerosa6766]

You are always awesome and funny. I love to watch your videos and I have learned a lot from you. I love this technique, I will make some. I like to know if this technique work on copper. Have you tried it yet? Thank you😊👍.

[@annetteleeuw9018]

Really cool technique. Can you only do this with Silver or could it also be done with copper?

[@JustME-ft4di]

What kind of block is the round black one you can bash with pliers?

[@amymckinney2011]

Could u do a tutorial on how to solder multiple bezel settings to a ring band or cuff??? Something simple for like birthstones and using small cabochons???

[@osonomeo]

LOL Love your intro!!!! The other stuff, too!

Благодаря ти!

[@cocolonger]

]Beautiful Work Nancy! congrats!

[@heathergreene-smith7094]

Question / debate. I was just told that quenching silver in cold water rehardens the silver. Is that true? I've never had it work that way but I'm not a pro.

[@melissaarrington8328]

Fabulous...thank you so much!!!

[@poornimar241]

As always.....wonderful your great admirer😘

[@Sweetp45]

Love it.

[@CharlesStruble]

Way cool!

[@werper09]

The real question is, how many cats does this lady own.

[@DolceVitaGurl]

Hi! What are you spraying your block with at the end? And why....?

[@esalenchik]

Water to stop the 'burning' process inside the charcoal block to help it last longer

[@anastasialeon9416]
