Beautiful,! I love the magic of fusing ........I know this is an older video ...what is the thickness you roll your bezel to? I am always getting warped sheets. I do anneal...my roller is not the best as I am self taught and purchase what I can..... thank you for sharing your skill.
Thank you for sharing with those of us who are desperate to find tutorials on filigree! I'm a want to be filigree artist like you! More videos please....❤❤🤍🤍💙💙
I'm a beginner silversmith from Canada and have been looking for filigree tutorials. Thank you so much for sharing! I can't wait to get some fine silver wire to give this a shot. Is it possible to use sterling silver wire for filigree?
@@FiligreeArtThanks for the prompt answer. I understood that you twist two wires 3.0 mm. I would like to know thickness of already flattened filigree wire as I do not know how thin it should be. Thank you very much.
I want to thank you for this video, I have seen this element used in several pieces but could not figure out how to make it, until you showed me how. Please post more tutorials, maybe add links of where to get you toola and supplies, for instance the solder spreader?
Can you file any silver and save dust to solder or melting down actual solder into an ingot then filing? Fine or sterling dust would be easy medium or hard? So i can file say fine silver and use filings mixed with borax and thats solder? Im stupid, sorry!!
There are recipes for different alloy solders. Easy, medium and hard are the main ones used. For filigree I use medium or hard solder. I melt into an ingot and file, collect the filings mix borax with the solder and ready to use!
This is the best beginner filigree tutorial I have seen! Thank you so much for sharing and explaining the details. I'm a silversmith and have been interested in this technique. The step by step and explanations are very easy to follow. The possibilities of this gorgeous look are endless. The books and videos are quite expensive, and I am thrilled that you are more interested in the future of this technique and sharing. Well done, sir! You rock! 😊
How wonderful for you to put out these details on filagree making! I have watched a handful of videos on filigree but you giving instructions for the beginners takes the intimidation down a notch. Thank you so very much and what a lovely person you seem to be very humble as well as helpful.
Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial so generous of you. I'm just starting out on my filigree journey and using sterling silver for the wires at the moment. They aren't as soft to manipulate I find 😊
Thanks for sharing! I can’t believe it two years where have I been you have answered so many questions that I have been looking for for months . Thank you so much now I know how to make my own thought of that.👏👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍 I’ll keep watching for more. 😊
Thanks for sharing. This is a perfect video for beginners. Just what I have been looking for. Can you tell us the different gauges of wire /the thickness of sheet metal you use for your project? Great video thanks again for sharing subscribed🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😊 I’ve been looking for a video like this for a very long time😁
Gauges/Thickness are all depending on the project. Small pendants I usually use .8mm wire for the outside of the filigree and .3mm for the filigree wire. Sheet I use .8mm for small items and 1mm for larger items :)
