I can't begin to compliment you enough for your extreme details and superb explanations! I have spent the last two hours looking at a few of your watercolor tutorials and now these lovely earrings. I so admire your talent and excellence as a teacher. Your techniques and artistry are fabulous - thank you for caring so much to inform all of us!

You provided a wonderful tutorial on BEAUTIFUL watercolor earrings! Thanks for sharing your awesome artistic talent with everyone.

[@realisticart]

Thanks for your very kind words! I just recently started making videos again and will be posting new watercolor, painting, and jewelry videos.

[@realisticart]

Sorry for the delay in response - Hurricane Sandy took down power here. That is a wonderful project! I will definitely be in touch to learn more! Thanks for watching!

[@dizeyner]

you rock. I love your videos. I love the way you take the care to explain what not to do and less, yes, is more. Consider yourself hugged by a mom/granny who is gonna share this with creative family folk. you're a great teacher, interesting, and choose excellent projects to share. thank you thank you thank you!

[@lansingstlady]

Hello Ross, I certainly hope you are still creating beautiful things in 2016. Thank you for sharing your gift. Kathleen.

[@peppamlowe]

I made a pair of these, thanks to your tutorial. Everyone loves them. They are so light too. You can wear big earnings without the 'ear drag' brilliant. Thank you!

[@katruby5701]

Ross, you are the most extraordinary teacher I have ever come across on youtube! Thank you so much.

[@cantwanto]

Maaaan...I love what you do! You should have your own public television show. Thank you so much!

[@687179LiveTraveler]

I watched the Watercolor bracelet, and then the watercolor paper earrings... Thank you for posting these, and you have such patience and explain each step so as to explain the method. I enjoyed viewing and will try this with the water color paper I have!

[@realisticart]

Thanks for watching my video Mary! Hope you enjoy making them!

[@marthapeters4650]

I just spent my first day of 2016 watching the remarkable video. Never knew about this at all. I'm definitely going to try this!! Working at a craft store for the past 15 years I've seen this paper in the Fine Arts Dept. but never ever knew you can make this! Usually an Art student is looking for this paper for watercolor pictures that their Professor has instructed them to purchase. I'm a 59 year old woman and I just like making things from beginning to end, all the while watching the end piece evolve. This is absolutely Amazing!!! Thank you sir for taking the time to make this video. PS: found this video from watching your two videos about making the upside down heart earrings. Your teaching methods and the honest tutorial is why I'm watching several of your teachings. Gratefully, Martha

[@LoveIsBeautiful1910]

Thank you so much for teaching this. You are such a gifted teacher, the way you talk us through each step ...the words you speak are so pleasant not to mention how very your watercolor lessons are I have watched ,painting the flower petals,,all in all you are trully gifted. Thank you, Maria

[@realisticart]

That's great! Glad my video helped - thanks for watching!

[@enorramic2012]

I just watched how to make watercolor paper earrings. Those earrings are amazing! As a watercolorist myself I would love to make these! Your video was very easy to understand as was all your explanations. Thank you so much for making your video. I will definitely give these a try!

[@KathySpiersSilverKat]

Thank you for this great info! As a new jewelry artist (at age 62) I can't wait to try it. Really appreciate your teaching. Kathy

[@peppamlowe]

love love this. I also like the idea that the earrings are large and light weight!!! Am going to make a pair right now! so inspired. Thank you.

[@avrilsgirl1]

Those are absolutely beautiful, I never would have known it was paper

[@dbald8]

I had bought a pair of watercolor papers earrings years ago and now thanks to you I know how to make them myself. Thanks!

[@ScreeminMeeme]

Ross, thank you for another wonder tutorial.. You have no doubt inspired many to create their own version of watercolor earrings and pendants. I have learned so much from you and greatly appreciate your sharing of your storehouse of knowledge. How fortunate your students are. Thanks again.

[@realisticart]

I'm glad that you find my videos helpful, and thanks for your kind words!! Thanks for watching!

[@mimheyden6212]

Love this tutorial... Handmade and from the heart... the only gifts I truly treasure... better than any store bought item ever... I can see making things like this from my art journals/mixed media... Thank You for sharing this!!

[@fatima34me]

I’m watching your videos again and it’s still a pleasure and an honor to do it. Thank you so much!

[@NolaGB]

Excellent video! I found your video and instructions exciting, because I can't tell you how many pairs of earrings I have purchased that don't fall correctly!! YOU are aware of this and have addressed the problem. For that alone, I thank you many times over!! Beautiful work, Ross ... just excellent! Thank you for sharing!!

[@realisticart]

So glad you enjoy this project! My wife also enjoys the light weight. Thanks very much for your feedback - I appreciate it!

You are so talented! They are beautiful!

[@realisticart]

That's great! Glad that this project has inspired you! I hope you really enjoy it!

[@sazure2]

Stunning! Having experience in metals and Jewelry it is interesting that you use the same tools and techniques for paper (where when layered is TOUGH). Thanks again for your video.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

I absolutely love all your work, I'm going to have a go, after Christmas. So beautiful, delicate and very feminine, thank you for sharing it with us all

[@aliscummings4073]

your tutorial description and demonstration make me believe I could do this too. Great job, beautiful work.

[@PutTheGlueDown]

Fabulous!!! I've made jewelry from clay and made simple paper beads -- this is FANTASTIC!! and I love how you sign the earrings, makes them truly a work of art.

[@LizKreate]

Another FANTASTIC project Ross. Thank you so much once again.

[@PeaceEarthling]

I am SO excited to discover a way to combine my love of watercolor with my jewelry making. Thank you so much for sharing this process with the world. You did an awesome job. Your instructions along with the physical process of making them is wonderful. Thanks again for sharing! ~Peace~ Debi

[@realisticart]

Glad you like the video Christine! Thanks for watching!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Ross I’ve watched this over and over and I really love 💕 these beautiful earrings. Superb thank you so much 😊

[@realisticart]

Hi Mags, Glad you like the video. Hope it was helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@evewrites3]

These are gorgeous earrings and your video was very well done. You covered all of the steps! Thanks!

[@realisticart]

That is pretty amazing! Interesting that my idea for watercolor jewelry came from a more formal study of colorful enamels on metal. Jewelry was my minor as I studied painting in grad school. Glad you found something that really interests you- I always enjoy this process! Thanks for watching!

[@sincerelyycamaraa8328]

WOW, this is very neat and creative. Thank you for all your help, I will definitely try this for my prom earrings. BUT BIGGER !

[@caro4art]

Love all your tutorials..... (more please).... I've learned so much because you cover all the details. Thank you, you are an amazing teacher.

[@shinysunlight]

Wow, this is so cool and so creative. The way you present it, it's easy to follow, thank you very much!

[@babadeedee214]

Excellent tutorial Ross. Very thorough & detailed. I appreciate all the work that went into sharing this. Your earrings are gorgeous!

[@realisticart]

Thank you, Debbie - I appreciate your feedback! -Ross

[@realisticart]

I have tried it and have found that you do not get the same, durable and beautiful results with thicker paper as you do with layers of 140lb paper glued together. It is also generally harder to work with thicker paper. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching!

[@LuIis1504]

Ross: eres un "mago", disfruté mucho el efecto de la pintura cuando la ibas aplicando! Gracias!

[@michellemyles4053]

Wow you did a great job on this. Its amazing how wonderful things can be created from something so simple. Thanks for the video

[@tassiesmama1600]

How wonderful! I've been searching for some unique way of creating jewelry, and this is it! Thank you so much for sharing your work, it's greatly appreciated.

[@realisticart]

Thanks for watching my video Pamela! Nice to hear that it was helpful!

[@realisticart]

Nice to hear that you made the necklace! Thanks for watching my video!

[@realisticart]

Hi Sue, It was nice to read your kind words about my paintings! Watercolor is a challenge, and that's one of the reasons why I like painting with it. There is always the element of "accident" that you have to be sensitive to. Thanks for taking the time to watch my video!

[@YIAMDMB]

Another wonderful gift from a MASTER artist! Thank you!

[@francescastjames]

Thank you for sharing your work with us! The details are excellent! As a person who has never done water colors I think I could do this! Really great stuff!

[@realisticart]

Francesca St. James Thanks for your kind feedback! -Ross

[@sharingthelove4032]

[@realisticart]

Hi Lorna, Thanks for watching!!!

[@realisticart]

My personal favorite is Winsor Newton tube paint, but I am sure good quality block paints will also work quite well.

[@chadlee3227]

these earrings would be lovely to give to my mum for mother's day!!!!!! thank you:)

[@bheanacu]

There is no comparison between cheap dollar store earrings and pieces of art. These are pieces of art.

[@nikkir5285]

So creative. You are a very good teacher, & I like that you explain every detail. Your work is gorgeous, thanks for sharing, I look forward to watching more of your projects!

[@realisticart]

I was surprised too, Shirley, when I first got started making watercolor paper jewelry. The possibilities are limitless! Thanks for your comment! -Ross

[@latisarieves3375]

I have learned so much from you I have even gone as far as using different textures of paper in my crafts thank you so much I only wish I could paint like you.

[@joanclaytonjohnson3630]

Absolutely beautiful. I just started making paper beads for the relaxing it creates for me. Your video came up and I am so intrigued with your work.

[@storyteller3927]

Thank you for this! I had begun to make watercolour paper earrings myself, without knowing there was help out there, but yours are so much more robust, professional, and beautiful. I was using acrylic paint in solid colours and varnishing, but my edges were never right. Thanks again. You are really inspiring.

[@realisticart]

Thank you, storyteller3927! I appreciate your comments! -Ross
