Hey liz I love this ring! Im really love beading and new to working with wire and trying it with severe RA. But i love a challenge. You make it look so easy. Im going to give it a try. thanks so much for sharing your talent!

[@makingiteasywithliz]

[@kitty456ful]

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Thank you Sandy.

[@danakovac3281]

Excellent tutorials! Thank you

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

Great tutorial and fun ring design. The shiny copper almost looks like rose gold! Very pretty. Before hammering the ring, after fully wrapped, the spiral looks like a flat setting that you could attach some sort of decorative element. Just a thought I had. Of course, the ring has to be hammered unless it's meant to be a pinky ring. :) Wondering . . . if the wire gets too stiff/hardened before finishing a project, can it be softened somehow? Say, maybe annealing with a torch? I'm a newbie, so I'm wondering for future reference. My hands, wrists and elbows are quite weak with arthritis, so I'm thinking I may need to re-soften the wire to be able to make some of your awesome designs. TFS!

[@bentleygt3716]

Bless your Hands :0) looks Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

+BENTLEY GT Ah, thank you so much for your kind comment. Thank you for watching.

[@kathyshelton4717]

Hi Liz, I work with Seaglass. Could you do a ring using Seaglass. It's a solid piece so there are no holes like a bead. Thanks so much.

[@kimjohnston615]

I love your videos your projects are all well explained . But I have a question does Copper wire turn your skin green?

[@darrelldewoody]

Very cool. How often do you hit your fingers while whipping ring to larger size.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

+Darrell Dewoody LOL never Darrell...I'm that good. Thanks so much for watching.

[@lauraaqui219]

This is great, i liked this, brilliant project, looked nice, i liked the shiney surface on this ring, before the antiqued stage, but both looked great, i just prefared the shiney metal version, the shape and style of this ring is very nice to look at,a visually pleasing design. thank you for showing us how its done. I would like to make one in silver coloured coated copper wire and also in silver coloured copper for the atlantic waves bracelett, as im not a huge fan of bare copper wire, can i order these types of wire from your site? im a novice beginner in wire jewellry work and my knowlege of what wire i should use is limited to what i see visually as i have no experience to call on. my main focus at the moment is to learn wire wrapping techniques and wire braiding wire bending and wire forming and all wire technique's to bezel cabachons or wire wrap them in any form to gain more experience and practice the techniques. I think you said, that a 10 guage wire is best to use for the atlantic waves bracelett, i looked on your website, but i was unsure if you had it in silver coloured coated copper wire? Thank you Laura liverpool england.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

+Laura Aqui Hi Laura, I do not recommend color coated wire of any kind when using a hammer on it and especially for rings. As soon as you hit the wire with a hammer, you break the seal of the coating and it soon changes color and deteriorates rapidly. Rings take a beating and I only use pure metals for them. Coated wire will make a fun ring that you do not expect to last. I do not have 10g nickel wire on my site but I do have 14g. It is naturally stiffer than bare copper.

[@lauraaqui219]

Ok, thank-you, for your informative feed-back, so that i will, bare this in mind, when, i'm wire- working, i appreciated your helpful, advice. thanks. Laura england uk.

[@AksinMasiyev]

Laura Aqui 👍

[@kwelic3524]

Awesome video. Where do you get your wire? I've noticed I'm using coated wire so the LOS isn't really taking

[@violetstone2129]

Thank you so much!!!

[@makingiteasywithliz]

+VIOLET STONE You are so welcome Violet, and thank you for watching.

[@chavellat]

I am new to your channel, and I love it. That said I need to practice on the basics. Where do you get the long headpins you make the loops with.? Thanks for any help.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

+chavellat I'm sorry, I think I lost you in the mix...I have 3" silver plated headpins for sale on my website (not up and running just yet) www.craftrends.ca Thanks so much for watching and for your support.

[@franciedempsey6446]

Thank You! ✌🏻️

[@makingiteasywithliz]

You're so welcome and thank you for watching.

[@MyraLeBlancMusic]

Will it work the same way with a plastic mandrel? I don't have a metal one. :-(

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Myra LeBlanc Hi Myra...plastic mandrels are only for sizing, not for hitting with a hammer. Give it a try, but I don't think the mandrel will last long...I may be wrong.

[@cat52]

I have a son in the Navy who I want to make a more masculine copper wire ring for. Do you happen to have any tutorials or designs for men's rings?

[@makingiteasywithliz]

+C. C. C I don't...to be honest, men's jewelry makes me nervous. Some men are very traditional in the manliness of the design and others are a bit more open and free spirit. I say just play...

[@cat52]

Making It Easy with Liz Liz thanks for the quick reply! I will just play around then and see what I can come up with. :-)

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Right on!

[@helenhines8582]

Cat 52 do you no where I can get some sterling silver wire for earrings or any type will not hurt people ear

[@isobeal]

try RioGrande.com. That's where I get mine.

[@2degucitas]

I want so badly to put a stone right in the center

[@makingiteasywithliz]

+2degucitas Give it try...experimenting is how I come up with some of my designs. Thanks so much for watching.

[@potiraborgesdasilva8524]

onde eu acho esse cilindro q vc enrola o arame ?

[@msmorris54]

Love your video's!! How do you not end up with marks on your copper wire tho?

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Lots of experience. When you know what your next step is going to be, you know what you need to do. Thanks so much for watching.

[@private91205]

Love your work. Where do you get the copper wire you are using? If not crafting wire than what type is it?

[@makingiteasywithliz]

+private91205 Thank you so much for watching. I sell bare copper wire on my website www.makingiteasywithliz.com. It is non-coated and will take a patina. Though my website says "under construction", you can still order.

Beautiful ring! Is it possible to apply the liver of sulphur technique to age aluminum ? If not ,in which way I could age the aluminum ? Thank so much . Cinzia

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Cinzia D'Errico I don't believe it will have any effect on aluminum.

[@cinziaderrico9812]

Making It Easy with Liz ok thanks

[@AksinMasiyev]

Cinzia D'Errico 👍

[@venusiandesigns]

Loved it, can you tell me where can I buy the liver of sulfur?

[@makingiteasywithliz]

From me! My website is taking forever but I have it to sell.

[@patriciaspiritu4913]

Cómo se llama el alambre

[@jjlovesjam]

would this not make your fingers green?

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Not true...mine never turn green. I believe high acid or sulphur in a prrsons' system causes that.

[@jjlovesjam]

Making It Easy with Liz oh okay. Thanks for the reply

[@nicoleslaughenhoupt9945]

Keeping your ring clean with gentle soap and water can help keep that from happening.

[@isabellawoodbury8758]

what wire can i use if i have a nickel allergy?

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Isabella Woodbury I'm using pure copper which does not contain nickel.

[@isabellawoodbury8758]

Ok! I thought copper was the one with the most nickel in it that's why i was asking. thank you so much! very cool project!
