I'm sure it will be, the secret is: PRACTICE 😍 Thank you so much for watching your sweet comment!

[@korneliajewelry]

What a nice video Basia! And i love the jewelry too! I make a lot of “botanical” jewelry, but it is so interesting how we all have our own approach on how to make a piece. Btw I stopped working in our vegetable garden to watch this 😄 now I’m off to go plant some more lettuce 👋🏻😘

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

omg, you're absolutely the best Karolien! Thank you so much for watching this early! 💕 I love your botanical jewellry, I think it's so organic and natural :) This ring was on my mind for a bit, but I wasn't sure I could pull this off. The challenge motivated me to try it :) I'm happy with the final effect, though I know what I would do differently next time 😀 Would you like to take part in the challenge? ;>> Sending you best of wishes my love 💕

[@ManypossibilitiesGaoLY]

My two favorite inspirational people! ♥️ Keep up the videos ladies!

[@korneliajewelry]

Stardust Mine Jewellery Yes! I would like to take part in this challenge for sure! But it will take me a while to create the piece and the video 😄😉🙈

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

@@korneliajewelry Amazing!! Because you are a perfect fit with your beautiful floral makes :)) And no worries about the time, it took me almost 2 months to get it done hahaha 😂

Stardust Mine Jewellery ok, I’m in! 😄

[@rtjlupolove66]

I see you use several different saw blades, do your prefer one frame over all the others, thanks for your content. I’ve taken basic fabrication classes but your videos answer the how do they create the details questions for me. Thank you again.

[@stephencoster9532]

Hiya & WOW! Dear Lady Stardust! You've done it again, again... I love the idea & the actual ring, almost a garden on your finger, (OK, another good idea). I love the way your mind works. Women love flowers, it's Easter therefore flowers for mum on Sunday, not this year so order a botanical ring & have it sent to mum, mum in law... Good practical ideas made to work... Your attention to detail is superb, just missing a bee! 16,000 people have said they like your work enough to follow it, I'm one of those & would never change that, my one regret is not having the ability to purchase from you or become a patron. I'm saving my pocket money so one day... Keep up this fantastic level of design & work, keep safe & take care... xx

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Stephen, I appreciate so much that you're here, commenting and watching and that you're so kind every time, that's absolutely enough! There are persons here that keep hanging out on this channel for the sole purpose of harassing me. So comments like yours show me that there are people with dignity and honest, warm hearts! So thank you 💕 And I'm really glad you've enjoyed the video! 💕

[@stephencoster9532]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing There are sick people everywhere who can only feel up by putting others down, sick little minds. They can't make wonderful pieces of art as you do so they nip at your ankles like the rats they are! I've found that if I find them & give them a thumbs down it upsets them... GOOD! Nobody likes that so the more of us that do it & put them in their place the better. Sad people with sad little minds! Rise above as you were destined to Lady Stardust, leave them in your dust. Can you block them? Take away their platform, nowhere to speak from... Take care... xx

@@stephencoster9532 I did block again. Unblocking was a bad idea, I don't know what I expected haha 😄 Thank you so much for your support Stephen! I'm happy that the majority of people here on this channel make a great and very friendly community, which matters to me the most. Those who are too sad to be able to be kind to each other should just go and find something that makes them happy. Hope you are well and able to enjoy a bit of sunshine and fresh air!

[@flyingcheff]

Basia, this video concept and the result is exquisite! Your filming is so good, even the mood you set while working is lovely, it's obvious you pour love into your pieces and they seem to pour love into you too. I have discovered a new bezel tool, the "SmoothSet" by Flowstudiosupply, it's made a big positive difference in my bezel - smoother and easier, less clean up. Thank you for creating these videos. Do you know anything about what would be a good fume vacuum/ metal collection system? You seem to do very good investigation on tools. PS. You have lovely hands, perfect for showing jewelry!!!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much for your lovely comments and kind words! Really appreciate it 😍 Unfortunately I don't know much about the vacuum/metal collection systems, I don't have one yet, sorry!

Absolutely gorgeous..☝️ 💞😊💐

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

wow, thank you so much! That's so kind 😍

[@sarahlarson7797]

I adore your art, and I love love love watching your videos❣❣❣ Have you made a video of you showing where you place the solder when you solder a flower, the balls, or the base of the bezel? If so, what video is it? I've been looking for it, and if not would it be possible for you to make such a video? If that would not be something you would want to do, could you tell me of someone else, who you watch, that shows where they place the solder in such peices as this beautiful one you have made? Thank you so much, and God bless you and your family.💚

[@milagrospickling9656]

So beautiful. Please Describe your workbench is so cool!

[@claudiamarina8079]

It’s gorgeous, full of details, it’s like a piece of art!!! For the flowers and the branch, which sheet gauge do you usually use? So it’s not too weak and not too heavy! Keep doing it!!! I love to watch all your videos, it is just so nice to have your inspiring videos! 😘

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much 😊 I really appreciate it and happy you liked it! ❤️ I use 0.50mm often, and 0.60mm 😊

[@gabrielkirkbaca2910]

Nice piece , but what really impressed me was your bench pin, did you make that or can you buy one

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thanks Gabriel! I got this bench peg from Cooksongold, I love it

[@gabrielkirkbaca2910]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing , this will sound silly , I woke up this morning with thoughts of you and your jewelry. I really admire you work. And I learned something about you. You go through life with passion. I see it in your work. And I see your a perfectionist. Everything has its place. Shows in bench and shop. Practice facet settings , you're going to go far.

[@micaelamae5703]

Great video! Love the ring! How do you like the knewconcepts saw compared to the Green Lion?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Hi! Thank you so much 💕 Oh, I love it! I like both, but I use them for different jobs. knewconcepts is super light and is super easy to operate, especially with more intricate designs. I like Green Lion for larger pieces, straight lines etc. It's a bit heavier, but I really like it too. If I absolutely had to choose one though, I think it would be knewconcepts (with the quick saw blade release), becasue of the work I specifically do. Hope that helps!

[@micaelamae5703]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Thank you! Yes, it is helpful. I have been trying to decide between the two for awhile and I think I am going to go with the knewconcepts :)

[@karenrunner8018]

Lovely. What type of brush do you use for the patina? It puts it just where you want it without dipping the whole piece and then having to polish it off.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

It's a regular watercolour refillable brush! Very handy! :) Check out my video about the patina, I shared more info there: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZSpd6R3gtR8gs0 😀

yup, new bench! 😄 Been keeping it low for a while, but can't really make any videos anymore without eventually showing it, so here it is haha. I will be publishing videos about the bench in the near future, and I will share everything 😍

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Videos? Great the more the better for me... It does make a difference when it's not moving as much as you work, in fact just being able to do all on one surface & not, move here to hammer, back here to saw, over here to solder... Your time is worth money dear lady... so not playing frog & jumping allover the studio. I am envious but who needs these tools more? Keep up the great work & Nolli ilergitami carbarundum, Latin for don't let the b*stards grind you down! I can't spell in English let alone in Latin!!! I at least did English at school.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much Stephen, I appreciate it all so much!! Honestly. 💕💕💕 And I agree, having good bench and everything in one place, it's a worthy upgrade for sure. Since I'm not able to build anything here myself, I don't have the space nor the tools, I'm extremely happy to have a chance to use this bench. I think one could build a custom one easily though, using upcycled planks and drawers, that could be an exciting project for those, who can do it haha

[@stephencoster9532]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Once appon a time I would have built my own but as you say having the tools does help... I've quite a simple bench, no drawers just a tool ledge off to one side, but I do like the raised lip to stop things rolling/falling off, because if they can they will. I have two wheeled drawer sets but they need to grow to fit what I want to put in them. I would not go back to not having the semi-circular cut out, a winner. Your paper filled top did make me smile when ever I saw it! It's great watching your equipment list grow, I can't think of anyone else who's work deserves it more. I've been trying to join Andrews 'At The Bench' but keep getting blocked, I wonder if there is no one doing their bit of the enrolment process? I just decided that if I'm going to make a real attempt at becoming a silversmith, or should I say jeweller as I will never make cups & platters in silver. My aim is to make what I'm asked to do & I would like to include the ability to set stones. That has always facinated me, how to keep the stones in without glue just a soft metal bent in to place... Will you ever have a shop or will you stay just on line? I would imagine the loss of passing trade, (People walking past who call in), would not cover the massive extra overheads with ease? Stay safe you two & take care...
