Hi. Thank you so much for your awesome videos. You’ve been an absolute delight to watch, you have really inspired me to start my jewellery making again, but this time as I want to do it. Thank you so much. God bless 🤗💕🤗

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

wow, thank you so much for sweet words! Really enjoyed reading your kind comments, thank you for watching my videos! xx 💕

I love Pepe tools I have their jump ring maker and it’s amazing and I have many other Pepe tools.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Right?? I love Pepe 😄 The jump ring maker is such a clever tool and saves so much time, it's crazy. The ring bending tool is another one I can't live without at this point

[@Lucy4n89]

Wow, love how detailed the leaves came out. Amazing review!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

thanks so much! Yeah, I was very pleased with the effect, so detailed :)

[@juliajesus2162]

Your videos are amazing. You are so lovely and kind. What the thinner mm of the wires that you can do with ? Just curious :) thabk you for share your knowledge

[@HabibahW]

Whoa!! I'm looking forward to getting tools like this. Great Review

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you Habibah! It's awesome, definitely worth the money when you're ready :)

Loving your work ❤

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@Ken_Dalton]

Great review.. This is the size I need and I will probably go for this one after seeing this 👌 Gosh we have the same lidl dremel accessories kit. The one that spins around😂.. I though it was such a great deal I bought two hahaha! Thank u for the review

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

yes!! this set from Lidl was such an awesome find, I love it :) Great value for money, because the stands themselves are usually more expensive. As for the mill, this is a great size and works so smoothly 😍 Definitely recommend it!

[@Ken_Dalton]

Stardust Mine Jewellery woke up. Early and can't sleep and saw I'm missed this comment sorry. Yeah I was delighted with my lidl purchase, was great value. An im all about good deals and shopping smart like I knoe u are too 😉 it pays to be smart and not frivolous!! I would love to know more about this mill about the price if u want to DM the details to me on Instagram maybe if u didn't want to say here. I don't mind which ever. I was checking some on Cooksons but I don't know. The smallest looked D too small and the next was far more expensive, but yours looked like some where in the middle an yours looked much better quality!! So that's why I'd like to look into this one.. Thanks Basia sorry I missed your reply, have a Great weekend 😉

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

@@Ken_Dalton no worries! We're all busy, I'm usually replying even after few days myself 😊 Yeah, totally agree. It's all about being smart and making thoughtful purchases. I'm all for getting things when we need them and getting as much as possible from what we have. But sometimes upgrades are excellent and can take us to the next level, so I'm not that crazy about saving and waiting haha. So this mill is available on Amazon in the UK, I believe it's dispatched by Micro Tools, European partner and dealer of Pepetools. On Amazon I think the price is about £592.34 so it's not the cheapest tool. But if you know you're going to use it and create new designs, then by all means go for it! :) I try to live by the rule that says, if you pay cheap, you pay twice (or something along these lines). So it's always better to invest in actual proper equipement that will last a lifetime instead of buying cheapest option first and then having to invest anyway. I've learned this the hard way!

[@Ken_Dalton]

Stardust Mine Jewellery another thing in common u don't like to save or wait 😂 😂. I can save but I do like to spend an I call "retail therapy" so it don't seem as bad lol.. I totally get u about getting what u paid for in life, and certain tools I'd buy cheap but the more important ones youre right it's best to spend top dollar an get a life time of work from them. Thank u for telling me about it, I know some don't like to talk about prices here so I appreciate u letting me know I'll take a look there for this, I do like the combination aspect to this and the roller size is just right!. I definitely need to get a mill bcoz I want to be able to Do engagement rings with shanks of various thickness at certain points and to be able to make wire is such a bonus, I have a 3 ounce bar I made of solid pure silver that iv have cut pieces off and have to take it to a friend's shop to roll out if I need to, which is a pain really, Thank u for sharing your pearls of wisdom with us all and your kind words. So nice of u 😊🤗

[@MystyFoxArt]

Thank you for your great video! Very beautiful earrings! Could you please tell me what you use to make silver so black? I would be very grateful.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

wow, thank you so much for your lovely comment and I'm very happy you've enjoyed the video! :) To darken the silver I've used patina, a solution caled Platinol from Cousinsuk, hope that helps!

[@MystyFoxArt]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing thank you so much. Is this patina darker than from liver of sulfur?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

@@MystyFoxArt I've personally found it to be darker :) It seems to have more black colour, not grey-blue-ish like LOS had, but I've heard that some LOS are still pretty good and black. You have to experiment :)

[@MystyFoxArt]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing I made experiments, I don't like how dirty my filigree looks with liver of sulfur. Checked Cousinsuk, they don't send it abroad because of its hazardous nature :(. And I haven't found anything like that here in Ukraine :(. Maybe you know somebody or some delivery company that could send it to Ukraine? Or Netherlands?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

@@MystyFoxArt ah, I see! Hmm, I'm afraid I don't know anyone, sorry. If I find out, I'll come back here to let you know. Sorry I wasn't able to help more! Keep checking, I'm sure someone must be selling these, hopefully! Fingers crossed :)

[@caeltheshaman]

I hope this is not too forward, but where can I acquire those embossing motif??

[@lizw2853]

Did you buy the leaves? They are so perfectly identical. If so where from?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

They're very similar, definitely made from one type of leaf. I found them on Etsy, I searched for "leaf skeletons" 😀 Sometimes flower shops also have them for decoration. I hope you find them too! Good luck

[@1ballistica]

Hi! Thanks for the review. Did you paint the leaves?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

You're very welcome! :) I've darkened them with the patina (one called Platinol) and then removed mostly, just to keep it in some parts to bring out the details :)

[@stevecoster322]

Hiya Basia I hope you're ok? What a great video and earrings... Pepe were correct to send you the mill as you are very much an up and coming artist and one to watch and not just the films. Did you dry the leaves yourself or buy them? The view at the end of some of your work was great as is the work, I'm envious of your ability to design and then build such wonderful looking jewellery. I may end up able to build nice things but my design gene never developed, therefore I can copy but not originate such beauty. Hopefully more firms will see your potential as a designer, builder and video maker and support you in the same way??? I think you and your work have indeed been sprinkled with Stardust and long may you continue... Take care...

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Hi Steve! Thank you so much for your kindest and sweetest words! People like you inspire me and motivate me a lot to keep doing what I'm doing and I really appreciate your amazing support! 😀 I hope my work will keep evolving and getting better with time and practice. Many ideas are brewing! :)) I got the leaves on Etsy actually, I didn't dry them myself. They are called skeleton leaves and there are many sellers. They come in different sizes too, pretty neat! :) Again, thank you so much, your comment really made my day! xx

[@stevecoster322]

Hiya dear lady, you are more than welcome as I call it as I see it. For a major supply house from the States to help some one living and working here in England says a lot, it's not just the items them selves but shipping as well, a good investment in you and your potential. They can see as a lot of us do that your channel will grow and you will be an influence on many potential customers of theirs for many years to come. I loved the pendant you were wearing and the way you had cut out around her hair to lift her from the background whilst adding a third level around the face, very cleaver and shows a keen vision.Take care...@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

@@stevecoster322 thank you Steve, really appreciate the kind words! It means a lot and of course the fact Pepetools wants to work with me means the world and motivates me so much! :) I so happy you liked the pendant, I ended up keeping it as it was the first one in the style I want to make more of now. Thank you again and take care!

[@stevecoster322]

I can't say I blame you for keeping that great pendant, it could well be the start of something big. I follow a few jewellers here on You Tube but they manly show technique rather than design, Soham shows some simple stuff but not much and his co-worker Peter runs a fantastic jewellery school with some content free. I enjoy your mix, even the food I can't eat... Keep up the fantastic channel and take care... @@TheArtOfMetalsmithing

where did you get your pen to do the patina? does it come altogether? I'm growing interested in this more and more as I further in metalsmithing

that's a refillable watercolour pen, it's on Amazon and Ebay for sure :)

[@EliseJens]

How are you getting the LOS so dark with the paint brush? Mine only gets that dark when it's super hot

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Hi Elise, it's because it's not the one that you use with water, but directly on the metal. It's called platinol. I've made a video about it, if you're interested in knowing more! :)

What is an industry and how big is it?

[@dawidwarta1063]

What else did you try besides dry leaves? :) Just curious!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Not a lot with the patterns, I wanted to master one thing first (the leaves) :D I tried flattening metal too, and it works great

[@dawidwarta1063]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing So you could replicate other metal patterns with it also, right? Well looks like a lot of possibilities!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

@@dawidwarta1063 that's right! Paper cut-outs, fabric patterns, more plants and different shapes :) I'll make a video about it in the future, so you'll be able too see! :)

[@user-pd7cq666]

Basia, do you remember I advised you the circuit board thermal transfer paper? It can be used for one interesting technic with rolling mills for stamping anything what you want on the silver surface. First, print a picture on this paper using a laser printer, then transfer it on *copper* sheet by an ordinary smoothing-iron and coat another side of copper with any acid resistant paint. Thereafter etch it in solution of your choice - there are a few prescription of it by this link: radiokot.ru/lab/hardwork/62/ (just choose your language on the top right), whereat remove the paint by acetone and roll your silver with the etched copper stamp. Do it and enjoy!

[@user-pd7cq666]

P.S. For small pieces it's possible to use adhesive tape instead of the paint for copper backside protection.
