This tutorial and especially the final piece were both INCREDIBLE. Your talent is incredible. Thank you for sharing your expertise with the world!!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

My pleasure, Elsa! I'm so happy to hear that! It means the world to me that you feel this way, thank you so much! 🙏🌺 Sending lots of love to you both

[@sandie157]

Astonishing. I love it. The trees are a wonderful addition as is adding relief through layering. I hope you consider makng this into a collection. Perhaps some more stunning pendants, some earings, pins , bangle cuffs and even some hair clips.. Just look at me giving you more work to do.😄💖💖👍

[@BlooStorm1]

WOW! ‘Magical’ piece. Loved watching your process! Also, can you suggest where you got your vise?

[@Nancy4133nope]

Great video really enjoyed viewing your process of creating, its a fabulous pendant. Can you share with us what burs give good textures I would like to learn more about them. Thank you for sharing

[@kathynoordsij2263]

Thank you for sharing your process on the making of this artistic pendant. it seemed like you put something into the bezel cup before you added the opal? Can you share what that was and why? To raise the stone? For background on a semi transparent opal? Thanks.

[@dianewoods193]

This is absolutely amazing!!!! I'm pretty new to metalsmithing and really love sawing hope I'm able to do something as awesome as this one day Thank you for a wonderful tutorial

[@knittedpainting]

I love it Basia! 😍 I didn't know you could use patina all over like that. Which burs are you using here? I have some that look similar but I think maybe the ends aren't as sharp because they don't leave a neat line or dot like that one, wide and less accurate 😬

[@rohygge9671]

I would love to know too please 😊

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you lovely! 😍 I've tiny round burrs by Busch. I bought them at Cooksongold. And I mean really the little ones. And I usually try to position them perpendicularly to make these dots too. For the lines, I have used the burr that is more like a round knife. It's flat and the sharp edge goes all around. I have no idea how to call it, I'm sorry! But it's great for the lines and deeper cuts.

[@elizabethflores2778]

How long did this take to make? Gorgeous piece!! 😍

[@giuliatridici5956]

You are such an artist! 😍 you are a good goldsmith, a good video maker, and you have a creative mind ! I loved everything about this video! You showed us literally every steps! Good job I want to be good like you one day

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

oh wow, Giulia, thank you so much lovely! I appreciate it a lot and I'm very happy you enjoyed watching the process 😍 Thank you for your sweet and encouraging words!

[@jadeheart911]

I have question also I was hoping you could help me with...what gauge silver sheet should I use to stamp circles I make with my Pepe disc cutter and then dome them for earrings?? I dont seem to be very good at stamping! lol ! Thanks.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

What seem to be the issue? Is the stamping too deep or too shallow? Or does the metal bend too much? Let me know and I think I will be able to help you much better :) In the meantime, I usually go for 0.50mm - 0.60mm metal sheet thickness

[@victoriaharrison-sewell6717]

Wow, that really is stunning, enjoyed watching your skills. Thank you for sharing this..

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

My pleasure! Very happy you enjoyed it ❤️ thank you

I'm very happy you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching 😊 💜 and yes! You should totally give it a go, I'm sure you'd enjoy it a lot ❤️

[@wcc101662]

Gorgeous! May I ask what kind of bench pin/vise setup you use? Is it a combination of several pieces?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

At the time of making this video I was using a flat, wooden bench peg attached to the bench vice (so I could elevate it, to use it with a regular desk and still have it at the level of my chest). I show how I made it in one of the tips and hacks video, not the most recent, but one before that 😃

[@jackiedavies7028]

Incredible, I have admired your work for a long time. I love to make this kind of piece. Can I ask for a description of how you have set your pin in your vise please, have you attached extra wood underneath the pin?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thanks so much! That's very kind :) And yes, there's a little wooden block underneath. Check out this video here to see how it's done: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ronbh2OAeteLbdk

[@foodethics]

I love your videos and have learned so much from your channel. I’m starting my jewelry journey now! I’m wondering- could you make a video about important safety tips for metal smithing? Like when you should be wearing protective eyewear and what kind of mask to buy and when to use it! That would be so helpful!

[@Huntr3ss1]

This piece turned out beautiful! Very nice! If I may ask, what type of patina did you use? It looks very even

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much! Happy you enjoyed it! :) I used Platinol patina solution, the one you do not dissolve in water

[@karie9890]

You have a wonderful mastery of the jeweler's saw! It can take forever to get that skill precise. What a wonderful piece you've created. I learned a few new tricks from you! Thank you for sharing your great talent with the rest of the world... ⭐🤗⭐

Świetny jest ten sklep! 😀 Powodzonka! Ja też zaczynałam jak byłam w Glasgow 😁 Mieszkaliśmy wtedy w okolicy Alexandra Parade, Dennistoun. Tam otworzyłam swój Etsy z bransoletkami i powoli uczyłam się w kierunku silversmithingu 😍 Jak wspomniałaś o Glasgow, to od razu poszła fala wspomnień 🥰 Dziękuję bardzo za miły komentarz, cieszę się, że Ci się podobał filmik ❤️

[@cathyx2354]

Sklep super jeśli chodzi o gotowe bezele pod kalibrowane kamienie to nigdzie taniej nie znalazłam. Glasgow ma swój urok, ale i tak się tęskni za PL. Nie jestem zwolennikiem patyny, ale Ty to tak ładnie i schludnie zrobisz, że chyba się skuszę 😂

[@yvonneharewood6981]

Hi Basia this is a lovely piece. It would be really helpful to know what gauge of wire and sheet you use please. Many thanks

[@yvonneharewood6981]

Hi I note you have shared sheet guage, is it possible to share the wire guage you used for the bale. Thank you.

[@randichrismer262]

Basia, hi! It's a magical job! I like very much how it turned out! What gauge of the silver sheet are you using here?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much lovely! ❤️ Very happy you like it. I've used 0.50mm silver sheet :)

[@lb8822]

Loved this video. You and your piece are lovely. Where did you get the castle template from?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much! I found the template on Adobe Stock. You can have a free trial there for a month and it allows you to get 10 assets for free. Just make sure you end the trial before the month is up! So you don't end up paying for a whole year.

Beautiful work! You should let us know in your videos how long each project takes. You make it look so easy but no doubt there is a lot of painstaking work involved.

Good idea actually! 😄 This one took me 3 days to make and film it. I think it might be interesting for people to know how long these project take, adds a bit of an interesting fact :) Thank you so much for watching!

[@rohygge9671]

Thank you so much for this, I cannot express the joy I felt watching this. I have been dreaming of making something in this style but no idea where to begin. This was a truly stunning piece, you are so talented 😍 Do you have a video on tumblers and when to use one vs when to hand polish or do you need to do both sometimes? I'm not really understanding the tumbling process and if I even need one. Thank you 😊

Hello from Australia. Love this piece. Your work is always so beautiful. The tiny details you have added are amazing. Would you consider doing a more detailed video on this aspect of the process? Adding multi dimentional elements and using the burrs etc to add texture and particularly then adding the patina then the stars and protective coatings. Thanks 😊❤

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

thank you so much! :) I'm making project-based video classes that I will release in the near future, where I will go into details. These videos will go in depth and focus on certain jobs that are more difficult :)

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Thankyou. Very exciting news. Cant wait 😃

[@rohygge9671]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing so excited for that as this was one of my questions too! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@stephencoster9532]

Hiya Lady Stardust, So you sprinkled some stardust on the sky? WOW! This or the wave, this or the wave? I'm so glad I've got the wave, and I would never swap it, but I may count my pennies... Will you be making more of these? You seemed to be saying you would in the film? Dear Lady this is so good, again! Your signature pine trees in the foreground, yes, they work to harmonise the whole picture, and it is a picture, a miniature worthy of hanging in a display case with my two others. I can see why others want to copy your design or style, you are fantastic, as are your skills, and indeed you are too. How are you with blood? What! Why ask? Because with your incredible steady hands you would make a hell of a surgeon! Your work cutting out, and then engraving the silver! I've watched some films on Argentium soldering, and it seems to solder very well, but, why is there always a but? Okay a good one this time, the germanium atoms melt together so no need for solder, it, (Dam I've forgotten the word for when the metal melts together without solder!) Anyway, it does look wonderful if that is the look you want. How was the Pepe Tools fire scale preventer to use? As you didn't show loads of sanding to remove the scale I'm guessing it worked well? So yes, to say you've done it again would be an understatement, a very large one! I don't have enough adjectives to describe this work of art adequately, does anyone? Yes, I want one, again! Thank you for showing us this wonderful video, I love that you share like this. Stay safe you two, Steve xx...

[@bricabracomania383]

The contrast is wonderful! So is the opal! It bring back those carefree days when I was reading the books for the first time - nothing quite like this magical feeling. I've recently been dealing with different kinds of patina solutions in order to achieve the blackest result, but noticed that acid based ones are being removed in the ultrasound... Did your by any chance experience that phenomenon too?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

oh, I completely agree! I have fond memories of the time when I once binge watched all movies almost in one sitting, back at the uni 😄 Oh to be able to go back to that moment :)) As for the patina, I haven't put any pieces with the patina in the ultrasound, so I won't be able to answer. I believe I've heard people recommend not to put patina in there, as it will be removed. Perhaps it also depends on the solution used in the ultrasound. But again, please don't quote me on that, as I'm not sure 🙏

[@msandigail]

Beautiful work, truly! I'm sad that it's related to Harry Potter though, since JKR has turned out to be such a terrible human. I'm just going to pretend that it's a Scottish castle :)

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

You know, I feel you. In my case, I try to separate the two now. If this story was just starting out and was much more connect to the author, I would be far more cautious in celebrating it. But I look at it from another perspective now. HP grew beyond JKR, many people worked on the movies and took the story further. JKR isn't HP in its entirety anymore. And elements she used to build this world are also, just like you said, elements that are Scottish in nature.. The castle, streets and alleyways of Edinburgh, the Glenfinnan viaduct, the Steam Train (that runs between Glasgow and Fort William, through the Glenfinnan viaduct). Because the movies were filmed in those areas, I see HP through the eyes of people who worked on the movies much more, than the imaginative world of JKR :)

This is a label paper for label printer :) I use it to print my designs

[@jenniferw1570]

I enjoy referring back to this video now and then for inspiration. Did you say this was from Adobe stock? I'd like a better way of transferring designs to metal but need to learn some of the technical aspects. It would be great if you did a video on design transfer. I've always done freehand but sometimes it just looks better with a template. Thank you Basia!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

My secret is a design, that's printed o the paper and then attached to a double sided sticky tape. Or, like in this case, I print directly on a label paper, which is adhesive. To scale my designs I use word document or Canva (online) and i try with different sizes and then choose the size that fits my project best. And then, I usually use those scaled designs to scale my new ones, I don't have to start from 0, guessing what size I need, I just use the previous ones as a reference. I hope it helps! I'm not sure if I will be able to make a dedicated video on this subject, but I'll keep it in mind and will do my best to include it ❤️

I'm sure you'll get much better with practice, don't give up! :) Thank you so much for watching and I'm very happy you enjoyed the video and this design!

do you have a link to the burrs you use?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I don't, but I got mine at Cooksongold. These are by Busch I believe and I have several sizes 😀 I recommend the little ones

I love it..😉

Thank you! 😀❤️

This piece is stunning! It's mesmerizing to observe the entire creation process.. a curiosity: the classic work bench that you have, don't you take it back to the studio?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you! That's very sweet of you! 🙏🌸 Of course I still have my bench, but I couldn't take it with me to this rented workshop here :(( It's waiting for me safely at my parent's house! Hopefully the time will come soon, when I will be able to transport it and work on it again 😍

[@lisalundquist1083]

Thank you! 🙏❤️

[@alisa.maks26]

this is so gorgeous and even by looking at the final product you can tell how much work went into it, and how patient you are! the world needs more jewellery that tells a story when you look at it.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

goodness, thank you so so much, Alisa! You're very seet and I appreciate you a lot 🌺

[@bf9494]

Amazing! I wonder what you would charge for one of these? Beautiful work!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you! I appreciate it a lot 🙏 I will calculate the price of this pendant and will list it in my shop next week :)

You did amazing. I’m now eyeing that guillotine cutter now though

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

That's a great tool honestly. Saves a lot of time and is very precise. Definitely worth having if you cut a lot 😀 Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🥰

[@celesteg5984]

I am sooo amazed by your incredible, articulate intricate work!! WOW!!💕💕

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

oh wow, THANK YOU so much!! It means the world to me, thank you ♥️♥️♥️

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Of course you will be able to! Make sure you have a lot of fun while practicing. And leave the project for a while whenever you start feeling frustrated, it's what helped me a lot ♥️ Thank you for watching and your sweet comment!

[@Caimille]

Wow, that's so exquisite! Very lovely :)

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :))

[@Nionearth]

Can I Ask you how did you solve the problem of collecting metal filings, since you have no drawer or apron under your desk?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I use a "paper bird", check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ronbh2OAeteLbdk

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing thanks !❤

[@idiliusjewelry]

Love this necklace basia, soooo beautifully made and love the idea of putting layer by layer🕊 and you can all do this with your small soldering torch thats a bonus too 😻😻

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Ahh, thank you so so much Idil! So happy you enjoyed the video 😍 Yes, that little torch is pretty mighty haha :) Definitely a bonus.

[@idiliusjewelry]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing haha you can do so many things with so little equipment in fact, here is an idea for another video:)

[@engnardine]

Looks great! Do you mind sharing what metal gauges were you using for the components and the back plate? What is your go to saw blade size?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you 🥰 I've used 0.50mm silver sheet. And my go to is usually 2/0 for lines and circles, 5/0 or 6/0 for shapes and 8/0 for fine details

[@engnardine]
