I missed your live again 😢 Your light is so inspiring ✨️ I have had a major block in creativity. Literally it felt as if I was going crazy but it's been a lot of me growing as a person, so I believe Im just going through a transition and I am focusing on my health and well being.I had a break down, just cried my eyes out Its been a rough road but I truely know Im on the right path and soon I will be where i want to be. I see repeated numbers on my clock so much lately that I believe Im being protected by my guardian angles and I will soon be able to afford the things I need to start. Thank you Susan Your videos are so uplifting. ❤
Hi Susan! Love you channel, your energy and your wisdom 😊 may I ask what strenth magnifiers you use on your glasses please? How you don't have sunken pad marks on your nose is remarkable 😅 thank you 😁
I'm from Toledo, Ohio, and it is the Glass Capital! Libby Owen's Ford and Libby Glass Factory. I grew up around the corner from the Libby Glass Factory.
Wow! That is amazing and I hear Toledo is still active in solving glass formulas around the world. I took small jewelry glass casting at the university a few years back.
I am thoroughly enjoying your videos. I really appreciate and honor the place that you start from. I feel like if more of us could be creative from our hearts and use the muse of our soul, the world would be a much better place. I want to be part of your community!
Hi Susan, I would love it if you could show how to make a cross shaped prayer box.i cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it. Thanks for your vids❤
Hi love, that is a long process but I think I have the film in my unfolding monthly membership. I put a technique film in every month for 2 1/2 years. You may want to join? It’s only $25.00 a month
Wow, you are so incredibly inspirational! I let go of my dream of being a silver smith, have taken classes in the past but never kept going for various reasons and figured it was a lost dream. You absolutely are giving me the confidence to get back into it , you are freaking awesome. I would love love love to take a class with you sometime ! THANK YOU
Yay! I love that for you. Creativity heals! I have an online course and community coming and sign ups are August 22. Make sure to get in the mailing list ❤️
Thank you Susan for your generosity in sharing all your You Tube videos. I resonate so much with what you say, especially on this topic. Your work is inspiring and beautiful, and I treasure your book Intentional Metalsmithing, which I managed to thankfully get delivered to me in New Zealand! 🇳🇿 ❤❤❤
Welcome! And thank you for your amazing words. So true and if we can get the skills and confidence- we have it all!! ❤️ Make sure to get in the mailing list to keep up
I do not have anyone in my area that I can find to mentor me or anyone into silver smithing actually. I so need a group of people to bond with and learn from. I really really wish the free class etc. were in evenings or on weekends so the ones of us starting out with silver smithing that have a real life 9-5 job, Mon to Friday.... could partake live. I am a crystal healer and have certifications in Reiki, energy healing, sound healing and apothecary.
Oh, I would love to have you as a crystal healer in my group. You would be perfect for intentional metalsmithing .the lives are always recorded but I time meeting at 12 noon eastern and 9 am west coast . This way it could be a lunch break
I LOVE that mistake!! And actually your solution was perfect- for me especially; one of my earlobes has two rips from wearing heavy earrings years ago- this and the cuff is 'for me' YAYYYYYYY!!
India is amazing!! I used to go to India all the time. I would get most of my gems , silver , jewelry pieces there. Your trip sounds amazing!! You are so inspiring!!! I put my jewelry making creativity away some years ago -but will not part with my supplies because I know I will pull it out again some day. I was bored with it- maybe because I've never tried metal smithing !!🤔🧐Thank you for all you do :)
Yay! Creativity heals and I am glad to hear that you are pulling it back out again! Keep your eyes out for intentional metalsmithing if you want an inspiring jumpstart with me
@@SusanLenart My soul=Creative. Constant. I am ♓ When I put down creating gemstone jewelry-I picked up formulating. From there & currently-numismatics. Obsession with world coin collecting, especially old Silver & copper-I'm trained to find mint errors (🤔metals).Love the history & vibes from old coins. I am surrounded by silver & copper! Literally. Protection & conducive-we all have a story- My journey thus far-next? follow the signs-too many signs to ignore here- I will look for intentional metalsmithing.
I think this was one of your BEST talks! Your energy and insight were so spot on, and really resonated with me. I just wanted to take the time to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the inspiration and the light that I have needed at this time. After losing my nursing career during covid, it has been one of the most challenging times to start over at the age of 50! Your guidance has meant more than you know!!! I just joined Unfolding, and look forward to meeting all of the creative souls :)
Yes, but you can start over again at 50. I have had so many people much older jump in and become successful. I am excited for your new beginnings. Xxxx Keep your eyes open for intentional metalsmithing jumpstart course with me. Happening soon. It will help you
Susan! Gotta say AGAIN how glad I am to find your videos. I love your style, which to me is romantic and very flattering for women. I kinda resent having to polish everything super bright so it looks like something from a chain store. They ARE beautiful, but I'd rather make something new. Anyway, now that I'm retired, I can chase my true passions. I'm so excited! You're showing us how to straighten ourselves out. Much love to you, and gratitude.
Bronze is pretty easy to work with because it is softer than silver. You just need a little hotter gas and flame to get solder to flow in bronze. There is a yellow solder for bronze that works well. Otherwise, if you are not fateful you will see the white of silver solder in bronze
Too bad money doesn’t go in a straight line, right? I have won and lost in life. Still, in the end I am always an artist. An artist is always an artist. That, peace, and being aligned is more important than any thing. All else will come . I work hard at manifesting. It is part of my creativity membership-
Always love learning and watching your videos - you’re an inspiration. I am self taught to where I am today, wondering if the class will be online or in person? Much thanks for sharing with all of us and creating such beautiful artistry for us to enjoy! I have a few of your pieces!! Lisa
Good for you! I love that. My class will be online and mentored by me. You can check it out in my profile. Intentional metalsnithing l. I brought one group through years ago and got so many amazing reviews. I think it was incredible. Gets you string in your work and confidence. The launch will be soon so keep it in your radar
Hi Susan, i've been thinking about buying your course intentional metal smithing but had my doubts because i am not well and have a lot of health issues, but i got a sign today from your video, at the beginning you were at a restaurant and the guy was playing Hello Dolly on the violin, and what is crazy is i just went to see that musical at the theatre and bought a note book with the logo on it, so i can start journaling ( which i have never done before). if you know about hello dolly she is also asking for a sign that she should get married, so its such a coincidence and a absolute sign that i should buy your course. x
I love when you get a sign! I are putting together a whole mentored program for intentional metalsnithing where we can meet once a week and make a commitment for the studio. I will also have a payment plan. I hope that you join ❤️
I ordered your book and a pair of your earrings! I'm so excited to receive both! This is a start to a new learning adventure and so far I am loving it!
Loved this Susan just applied for retirement, needed this now. I paint and silver smith and finally going to fulfill my desire to create. Letting go of old conditioned thinking and finding my soul again ❤
Intentional Metalsmithing was such an incredible journey for me. It gave me the confidence to do things I never thought I could in my jewelry making and it heightened my creativity. It made me unafraid to try out new ideas. I highly recommend it!
Thank you so much and I am enjoying myself. As far as the gems, I put how many carats are in each collection and the second photo is with a ruler laying beside the collection of gems. I sell these collections for $4.00 a carat
Ps. I meant to ask you for a link to where I can purchase the incense you use that the monks make please? 🙏🏻 I’d love to try it for myself and I’m sure others would too 😊
I cannot even BEGIN! To thank you for what you’ve done for me with my silversmithing!! Using my scraps I made my first ring band and now on my second. You have given me permission to just BREATH, and lean into creativity instead of trying to fit into a box! I am lucky enough to have been bought your book on Amazon, ‘Making connections’ which was a gift! And I had purchased your ‘Intentional metalsmithing’ book for myself. So much beauty and easy to follow guide step by step. I ADORE your energy, your work with crystals (before silversmithing I was electroforming crystals and own a HUGE collection of beautiful pieces dotted all around my home and in crystal grids. I also truly appreciate how you talk about looking after your body (I have fibromyalgia, mainly caused by past traumatic experiences) but I’m healing and growing. You have literally SET ME FREE TO CREATE in my own style, with no right or wrong, and trusting that I’ll find my groove. Love how you also talk about how to ‘centre’ and do breath work before you go on to work. Also have lots of different incense, sage smudges and palo santo. You are my TRIBE!! And boy am I feeling lucky and blessed to have found you. I’m really hoping to be able to afford your monthly subscription soon too - it’s my personal goal. And to whoever else resonates with me here, I want to shout a BIG THANK YOU FOR YOUR AUTHENTICITY. Shinning star and beautiful soul reflected in your art. I’m excited to be on this journey with you guys. Susan - you’re my personal hero. And I sincerely mean that. I appreciate you sharing your gifts with us!! Have a great day/night from Sunny England with love 🏴❤
😊 👋 I missed your live! My two year old keeps me so busy. You're always so inspiring, Susan, and always so full of smile's ❤️ thank you for your video! I love it
