Join me live every day at 7 PM Central for the next 30 days for a live tutorial and Q&A sessions.
Simple lessons for aspiring metasmiths and jewelers. The official youtube channel for Popnicute Jewelry video tutorials. I created this channel because believe that information and knowledge should be accessible and affordable for all. Tag me on Facebook and Instagram with @popnicute to show the pieces that you made with the help of my videos :D Enjoy learning something new!!
Finally, a method that doesn't require a brake, annealing or even a bench vise! Thank you so much for sharing. I just tried this method and look forward to using it for multiple jewelry projects. You've opened a new, and very welcome, possibility!
Thanks for the tutorial on paddles. I’m learning those right now and your tips about how to avoid the paddles that skew to one side were really helpful.
I love tour Work, but I wish you would do something about your video recording - there is so much we miss because you constantly are to close on the scene
I think your decision to turn this into a pendant was the way to go - fabulous piece! Thank you so much for sharing your skill and talent with all of us. I always learn so much from you! ❤
This piece is so beautiful! My next semester in school will be focusing mainly on fold forming. I would love to try to make a piece similar to this! Thank you for sharing!❤
Do you use any protectant on the copper or wax? Should the solder get cleaned off prior to puffing? Would there be any benefit to texture the wire prior to soldering? This was just beautiful! I love hearts!❤Thank you for sharing this! You are the best!
I don't coat any of my jewelry pieces as I don't like the plasticized look of the coating. I never clean my solder unless somehow it's covered in gunk. Normal oxidation will be gone once you heat and ball the solder chips. But then again, I only use argentium solder and I've never seen it get heavily oxidized in storage 😁 I would not texture the wire beforehand as it's gonna expand in size and possibly get distorted if you're not careful. I hope that helps 😊 thank you for watching 💓
That helped, thanks. My question on the solder clean up was in regards to the the surface of the puff. Maybe it was just me not seeing accurately but I thought I saw solder had bled out onto the top of the puff beyond the wire.
@@lenastiward8657 ah, I misunderstood. You can sand/grind off excess solder before puffing for the best result, especially if it puddled up/bumpy. Be gentle. You don't want to remove too much metal. Just grind until you don't see the excess solder anymore.
