On a cold wet miserable day, I watch your video to cheer me up. Your smile and enthusiasm always makes me want to try harder and keep going. Your Koi fish are so amazing and your sawing skills are incredible. I have trouble cutting in a straight line! Congratulations on over 100.000 subs, it will soon be 1.000.000.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

That's so sweet, Paul, thank you!! Haha, I don't know about a million, but I'm very content with a 100k 😁 I'm so happy that my videos can bring you joy and motivation, it means a lot ❤️ It's gotten cold here too, the Winter has arrived ❄️ Stay cozy and warm!

[@anadelgato]

i love your vibes so much

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

It's in the works! 🥰 I can't wait to share it with you too. Thank you so much for being here ❤️

[@Iknowonlywhatimtaught]

Congratulations Basia!!! As of this post you're at 108,000 good job. Your personality and passion for your contributions to jewelry got you over 1000. Because my positive is infectious. Please don't change. It's refreshing to see artist in such positive form.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much!! That's so sweet and it means a lot ❤❤❤

[@babblegoose]

Looking forward to learning more about the silver clay!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Awesome 😁 I'm so excited to try it out! Looking forward to sharing it with you 💕

[@tamara_gulbis]

You’re such a genuine and sweet, beautiful human. Pure pleasure to watch you. Wish you the very best 💫🌻

[@tishsmiddy71]

You’re helping save humanity young ladies by being an inspiration for women around the world !!! You’re never a Debbie downer !

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Oh Tish, thank you! That's the sweetest, truly ❤

[@kimauger4293]

I'm happy you reached 100,000 subscribers. I always look forward to your new content. If you want to be more sustainable in the studio you can purchas old towels and wash cloths for very little and use those to wipe down your space. That is what I do. Then when I go through all of them I wash a load of these and then they are ready to be used again.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much! ❤ It's a pleasure to share new videos, ideas and designs with you here, and it's even bigger pleasure to read comments, which give me a lot of motivation and joy ❤ As for the wipes - to be honest the solution you mentioned is what I usually do :) But I also sometimes purchase these wipes for when I want to use an antibacterial option for a quick wipe. It was only a second time I purchased these in a whole year, so not much waste is generated from these. But I appreciate you sharing an alternative solution, which is definitely an excellent and sustainable option! I like to reuse my old towels that can't be used in the bathroom anymore, but are great for the studio.

[@MeerkatHandcrafted]

Loved it as always. Thanks Basia, you always make me smile😊

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Yay!! Thank you so much! 🥰 I'm so happy you like it 😀

[@Mirathehermit]

wonderful workshop, wish you the best on your art journey

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Ahh, thank you very much! I appreciate it a lot ❤

[@Mirathehermit]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing, what system you have to deal with fumes when you work with acids to clean your pieces?

[@marchbaby370]

You are such a beautiful soul! Another reason I love watching you 😊❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

You're the best, thank you! ❤

[@stephencoster9532]

Hiya Lady Stardust, 100,000 people who want more of your work. I wasn't the first, but I'm up there. Your work is such an inspiration to so many people, yes, most especially me. You are capable of lifting my spirits so easily; I absolutely love it. Your work is carefully planned to show the subject in its absolute best light. What do I collect? Why, your work! I will never have enough, but I do have the Wave!!! I wish I had the Harry Potter one too. Might you be persuaded to do a repeat on the castle? Keep going, dear lady; keep inspiring your adoring fans. Love Steve xxx

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Hi Steve! Thank you so, so much! ❤ I think you've been keeping me company since the very early days of the channel and I treasure our friendship. Your comments have always been so supportive and motivating, they have always been filled with precious input and ideas. I hope you know that your comments and messages mean the world to me and I'm very grateful for them ❤ Knowing that one of my proudest (if not THE proudest) creation, The Wave, is yours has always filled me with joy :) And, of course, I would be honoured if you decide to commission me to make a Hogwarts Castle for you. I'm always here, so whenever you're ready, just let me know and I will be delighted to work on this piece for you. I will keep going and sharing as much as I can ❤ Thank you, Steve, stay safe xx Much love x

[@SAVANNAH_72]

Congratulations!!! 🎉 I have been watching your channel for a long time, not only do I admire your creations but your vlogs are so calm to watch! ❤

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I'm so happy you feel this way! I've been enjoying making vlogs much more recently, I think it's because I decided to let go of some expectations I had and just decided to be myself and be casual :) It definitely helps a lot. so I;m very happy to hear that you've been enjoying them too ❤ As well as other videos! Thank you for being here ❤

[@saramulry]

A well deserved following!! 🎉

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you! ❤❤❤

[@frankmons4889]

Congratulations on 100k no surprise you are a delight. 👍

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much 😀 It means a lot to me! Here's to another 100k haha ;))

[@PBCreation96]

I’m not sure when I first started watching, but I’m happy to see that you’ve reached the 100k mark! Always love watching your tutorials for new ways to work with silver, and seeing the behind the scenes Basia. Hope that the new year brings on many more projects and growth! Edit: I also have some silver clay coming in Monday, coincidentally enough 😂😂

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much!! I'm very happy that you've been enjoying my videos and finding inspiration, it means a lot. Good luck with the clay, I'm curious to hear about your experience working with it :)

[@laurensimpson717]

Love seeing your smiling face 🤍 So excited to see how the silver clay works out!

[@celinaalarcon6781]

Congratulations to you and your channel! I really enjoy your videos, and yes, my experience is with polymer clay and I’m thinking to move to metal clay and give it a try. Thank you for share all your beautiful work and experiences.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I think you might enjoy working with metal clay a lot, it's different than polymer, but offers something special - as it turns into silver :) Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching :) ❤

[@hanfleet]

*CONGRATULATIONS* on reaching 100,000 subscribers! You deserve it for all the great work and videos you do. I love your honesty and how genuine you are and love your designs (especially the mantas and butterflies and koi.). I look forward to the next 100,000. You are a real inspiration to me. I am predominantly a bookbinder (I collect antique bibles and antique books with interesting endpapers and painted book edges) and I did a silversmithing course some years ago and want to get back into it big time. I have a lot of silversmithing tools, just need to find some space and time to use them. I have lots of plans to make silver objects. Anyhow, keep working your magic. :)

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Wow, thank you so much! Reading your comment made my day ❤ It's a pleasure to share these videos here with creative, like minded folks and comments always inspire me to create more interesting content ❤ Bookbinding is wonderful and I LOVE watching videos that show the process, I think it's mesmerizing. You could maybe create some silver or brass elements for the books using metalsmithing techniques? Would be a nice way to combine these two crafts :)

[@hanfleet]

Yes, I intend to add silver, copper, brass and gold furniture to some of my books, and with gemstones on the cover, much like medieval books. :)

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

@@hanfleet oh wow, that will look fantastic! 🤩 You have to share a photo once you finish them 😀

[@netcreativedesigns]

When we bought our house, the little office space that would become my studio had a 6 by 4 foot tall mirror on one wall. I secretly hoped they would leave it and on closing day they asked if we wanted it. Absolutely…now I couldn’t imagine it any different and it makes the tiny space feel more open.

[@reidsmith9575]

YIKES!!! As many times as I have enjoyed and commented on your videos, I thought I was already subscribed. Well, I AM NOW!!! Congrats, and press on, Basia!

[@StuartofShrewsbury]

Oh what a joy of not having to squeeze everything into Royal Mail's Large Letter format! How civilised!

[@amberglavin6051]

Congratulations on hitting the 100K milestone. Well deserved as you put a lot into your work and your channel.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you! ❤ It's been a journey, but it was worth every minute of filming, editing, publishing and - of course - making projects and sharing tips :)

[@netcreativedesigns]

Congrats on the 100k!!!! I hope to be there eventually as well. You helped me get started in metalsmithing and I’m grateful for all your hard work!

[@leemccluskey8522]

Congrats! Your jewelry is gorgeous and unique. You are so charismatic and its a pleasure to watch your informative videos. :)

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

[@alejandrorochaweimar9442]

Congratulations on your 100K !!! You’re such an inspiration!!! I saw your first videos and I jumped in July last year to buy some tools and material to begin 🤩

[@JustME-ft4di]

Well done! I am so happy for you.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Yay!1 Thank you so much :))

[@quietspacearts]

ahhhhh Basia am so glad you reached 100k subscribers and now you will need to find a space for your KZbin Plaque. Well done and I love what you make, i work from home so landlord would not like me having a live flame in house although i always have a fire extinguisher multi purpose one. xx

[@lindahydrick99]

Congratulations on your goal. I love your kindness and enthusiasm so much, however, and it’s hard for me to say because you are so passionate. I would like you to record you showing us how to make jewelry instead of showing other things. I hope I’m not hurting your feelings because you’re adorable but I need to learn. Sending hugs and love.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you ❤

[@dianaflorez77]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, I’m new in the channel and already obsessed with it

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Oh wow, that's awesome! Thank you and welcome! I hope you will enjoy other videos :))

[@kerrischwarz7124]

Congratulations on your channel! I love metal clay and have been using it since it was first created many years ago. I think it would compliment your jewelry designs so well. I especially like how you can make small components and solder them to larger pieces. Also, you can make incredible textures. Have fun with it!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

oh yes, making small components to use them with larger pieces is what I;m especially interested in! I'm so curious to see how that will work. Would love to making some leaves and other flowy shapes. Thank you so much for watching today and your sweet words of encouragement! I can't wait to share my first silver clay projects with you ❤

[@hipchickvintagethrifts]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing when I first started using it I was going thicker than i needed to, it takes a bit of time and practice but you can end up making it go further the better you get. Just take care in the leather stage when perfecting as its pretty fragile until its fired. Super fun to play with or to use molds to make multiples..can't wait to see what you do with it

[@marchbaby370]

Congratulations 🎉 I love, love watching your videos thank you for sharing your talent.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

It's my pleasure to share, thank you so much!! ❤

Bravo! Enjoy watching you!

[@scottbenson8105]

Silver clay is good for making bangle bracelets without having to buy all the hammers and shaping tools Fretz has you just have to remember about the shrinking that happens when you put the silver clay in the kiln, they also have a lot of patterns that you can use with the silver clay

[@jeannettesalazar6442]

Love you tweet Basia. You are my inspiration. Thanks😊❤

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Oh, I believe the weather in Australia now is perfect for a forest photo shoot! I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun ❤ Thank you so much for your sweet words, they give me motivation and inspiration!

I can't wait to try it out! ❤ Any tips you'd be willing to share, or things you consider worth remembering? Thank you!

[@SilverSeekerCo]

Hello 👋 Haven't checked in with your channel lately. But glad to see progress you'll keep doing wonderful stay focused is key. I've done some videos on tik tok but lack the time for such lengthy process of KZbin. You give me hope for future endeavors and congratulations on 100000. ❤️

[@Susanarylander]

I’ve been dying to try silver clay! I bought a couple of books to read on a rainy day.

[@sonjagoldman4394]

You will love metal clay! Combined with your other skills, you’ll create some awesome pieces!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

oh wow, that's so sweet! Thank you for the motivation boost!! ❤ Now I really need to make something cool :))

[@KarmenKP]

Hi Basia, I am very kin to see how the clay experience turned out!:😍 I was also wondering what type of mask do you use when soldering/polishing? Congrats for the 100.000 subs!💗

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Hi Karmen ❤ Thank you so much! I will share my experience and everything in another video, I can't wait to try silver clay :) As for my mask, I show them in this video, it will be fastest to just share it here with you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqewY4ihfNFlZ68si=h2C60gKA6nrazAfV My main mask with filters is called GVS

[@minniemouse7803]

Congratulations 🎊

[@annetums]

How do you normally like to clean your silver before solder soap and water or pickle?

[@mizsparkie5479]

I would love to see how you get along with the silver clay, and if you like it, how you end up using it. I have been thinking about making small pieces to add to smithing projects.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Yes, same here! I don't want to make entire pieces in silver clay, but rather use it as a medium in which I will be able to make what I can't in silver sheet or wire. Oh, and a specific type of rings, too. I'm very curious to see how that goes :) Thank you so much for watching today! I'm looking forward to sharing my experience with silver clay with you ❤

[@kristibbradshaw]

I really want to try metal clay.

[@girlmeetsvegan5058]

hi, Do you mind sharing where your jewelers desk is from? and the measurements?

[@evolve101]

k... hehe. Kinda funny video actually... interesting to see some jewelry making. I also like leaves.. Probably reminds me of the jungle and stuff... Saw you make your own food. I like lemons and such.. The taste and texture of them.. ;) peaches, etc. mhmm. Like. it's lean, and fresh.. juicy, smooth and tasty. ;) Probably miss the jungle and all.. ;) Bongo drums and some fresh fruit. About metalsmithing.. I can think of some cool stuff i would create with it that some others would enjoy.. overall, life.. i would need a couple thousand of years hehe.. takes time to do stuff, it's a slow process and like a billions of things to do.
