Hammered Metal Hugging Stones - Eps 253 

I meant to put the video about the gifts from a visitor in a separate video! It did not belong in the middle of this! 😂😂😂 Hope you guys weren't too confused.

_finally a jewelry making channel with the raw chaos I'm looking for_

it's really encouraging to have someone actually _say_ they don't know what they are doing instead of just doing it, makes me feel better that I'm flying blind with jewelry making. books and videos are fine but sometimes you just need to hear someone else admit their lack of knowledge. Genuinely saying thank you. :)

We can learn more from our failures than we can from our successes. Your video taught us to invest a little thought in advance so that the wire arms are long enough to hug the stones. It takes a lot more wire than one might initially expect.

OMG Matt, you are nuts! But very creative, I love your creativity. Never boring, I don’t wire wrap but love watching you.

Love the relaxed way you create and record! Nothing is perfect but it ALWAYS works perfectly!!! Love the random models! I'm crazy for your creativity!!!!

I already sell wire wrapped earrings, but your videos have gotten me inspired to start selling necklaces as wel! I love watching these!

I just found your channel, and as both an artist/crafter/sculptor/jewelry maker and a lover of comedy, I believe I’ve found my new bliss, so thank you!👍🏻😂

You’re the man! I’m staying with your channel!! You had me laughing so many times but also teaching me something. You’re awesome and I liked them! I’d buy for sure 🙌🏼

Like your style 😂 There's way too much seriousness in jewellery making and crafting 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for showing us how it can be done - - - and with a GREAT sense of humor!

Love the raw, down to earth, honest approach to your video! Am excited to try this! The pendants are awesome too!

New materials tools displays books always learning and growing. Thanks Matt.

I like the way these turned out; the thicker wire, in that color, is attractive. The one with the swirl tail looks pretty good on the model. Thanks for sharing, & I appreciate your humor!

I just started listening to this video 2mins ago and ALREADY I love this guy!!! He's soooo REAL!! PLUS he's such a great comedian!!~

Loving this hammered 12g aluminum, especially these pieces, so original, so different! Great work!

He's resisting the 3 armed alien hug 😂🤣👽 I subscribed because you know your stuff but your delivery is amazing.

Nice job Mr. Matt! I really love your wrap technique and look forward to giving it a try! Happy Creating!

I love that you showed your mistakes. I am just learning to do wire wrapping and this video has been great.

Beautiful work Matt! As a longtime jewelry designer, I have yet to master wire wrapping. 😫 Very helpful tutorial and I think it's great seeing men doing this kind of lovely wirework. Your ideas are just so inspiring! Thanks for this...🙂💙

I love this guy. Great work. You make unique so simple. Thank you. So enjoyable, but it sounds like he's surrounded by people.

The blue stone is beautiful. I love this craft. I might try it myself. Thank you!

I love it, Cynthia!!.. What great gifts for Matt. I love how these 3 turned out. The one with the swirl is my favorite. Blessings Matt. 🎄🎄👏👏👏🕯👍👍❣

It's fun watching you curling & folding your wires. Can't help laughing & learning at the same time. Beautiful craft.👍❣️

I love how industrial these look! Thanks for the idea 👍😊

Hey Hey 🙋. I love all of these. The stones are bootaful, super schwartz-a-licorice, man. There is nothing at all wrong with any of them. You made it work for each one. Thanks Mattio, and thank you Cynthia for your caring and sharing. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy New Year to all. 😇🎄🦌🛷🎅

Those stones are really gorgeous. Can't wait to see what you do with them. Exciting stuff.

Crazy and creative, great combination. I love these hammered ones! I wondered about 12 Gauge wire. Not too many demos on this size wire. You are so outside the box, always experimenting, with your goofy sense of humor, this is what an artist does. Always something new and inventive. This is easy, fast, and looks stunning. Great job, Matt!😀. Subscribed.

I love Matt's craziness. He does the most amazing jewelry. He is also a very amazing person. I buy alot of stuff from him and he always looks out for me.

I love them all the dark blue is my favorite, I love the curl at the bottom. I would wear them all, so unique and cool. Great Job!

Love this so much . Appreciate that you showed your mistakes ! I am going to give it a try this afternoon . Thanks for the fun helpful video !

In the middle of the Mass Confusion I found OODLES of Inspiration, Thank-You for this share!

I absolutely LOVE all your pieces!!! Thank you for sharing these creations! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I think this is a great idea for wrapping hole-less stones. Thank you for the idea, Matt. The blue is my favorite.

Matt, I just found your channel. I had a young customer at the shop where I worked who developed a great line of similar works of art. He always explained what he was doing but now I have actually seen the work in progress. Thanks for the video. Hope to find more.

Love that! I was also thinking of adding stones when u did those twisted wraps. 💕

They are pretty. I know this is an older video, but I'm learning. Thank you for sharing these helpful videos! The first stone I tried to wrap, I used 18 gauge, lol. Now I had to admit to having arthritis in my hands.

I stumbled upon Matt's videos and just want to say "thank you" for making me laugh so much.

I can't wait to watch the rest of your amazing videos!! Thanks!!

Hi Matt. I'm a beginner jewelry maker. I am so glad I found your videos. You cracked me up and I learned to wrap stones. Thanks a lot. I'll be watching your videos for sure.

You do best when you have fun with it and you keep trying. I really like your approach to your craft and I like your craft even more haha

Great video. Great present. The brightly colored stones look like dyed magnesite. Love it.

Thankyou Matt! I learned so much and i been wanting to play with stones so bad lately! Please keep up the awesome creative work! You're awesome!

That was very entertaining, I think all artists have that dialog running through our minds as we work, it was fun to hear it. I also enjoyed seeing your gifts and was ooohing and aaahhhing. Reminded me how much I loved taking my daughter to rock shows when she was little, so in the middle of your vid I took a break and found a local rock show to haul my friend's kids to next month. I got on your show by accident, but now I'm a fan and subscribed. I will hauling my rock collection out. Thanks!

You are a breath of fresh air! 😊

Loved the whole vid ..your descriptive powers are brill Thank you made my day lifted me out of depression x I live the swirl tail

Omg. I love these. I hope i can wrap mine as easily as you made it look

You are wonderful, a little freaky but very talented. I’ve always loved beautiful stones. You do amazing things with that 20 gauge wire!!

I love this pieces, they don't need the thin wire wrapping around, only the thick one, looks very organic and unique.

_Beautiful work Matt, thank you for the tutorial_

You're so very entertaining ! I have learned so much so happily !

Matt, you are so much fun to watch! I loved this video and I'd buy these pendants. Well done!

Pretty nice! I’m definitely feeling a bit more courageous about trying to do this now. Love your sense of humor. I can tell you crack yourself up sometimes!🤪😁 Thanks so much for sharing!🥰

Thanks for the fun tutorial. I finally took a try and came up with a nice crazy pendant!

Artistic hands.... They are all beautiful.

A worthy setting for magnificent stones!

I use an old antique flat iron granny used to heat on a wood stove. Makes a great anvil for hammering!!!😅

You are truly the smartest man alive currently today in my world. Thank you master Matt Wire God of the cosmos ❤

Really liked the hugging stones❤ really like your sence of humor😂😊🤪👍👍👍

Oohhhh, I found this in soooo many colors. After Christmas, LOOK OUT!

I absolutely love your work!!!

Just want to tell you Matt, that your videos are truly inspirational! I've made a couple of pieces, from watching your videos, and they give me great ideas for what I can do with a lot of the polished stones, that I've polished. I LOVE your attitude, and your sense of humor, and just the way that you do everything freestyle! I appreciate you! I appreciate your sharing what you do with the RU-vid world! Thank you so much! I'm watching from Michigan. (get a pair of round nose pliers, you'll thank me later)! lol!

Great design, fine work. Thank you for sharing

I am so happy to have discovered your channel. Your videos are wonderful and you are so much fun. Elbow grease, haha, I love it.

Glad to hear elbow grease is useful! I'm always scrolling RU-vid for fun wire wrapping. I can actually see the muscles on your figures too so good job that with your workouts.....

what an amazing artist u are, and great sense of humour

Love the humor. You’ve got a new subscriber. 😁

These are gorgeous Matt! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nevermind the good info, I'm subscribing for the commentary alone! 😂

Definitely like the hammered look. I was give lots of 10, 12, and 14 AWG copper, and was wondering how to use it. Thank you!

Love your sense of humor!! :)

Lmao you’re hilarious. Loved the elbow grease bit. Love the crafty chaos bc that’s how I do things when I wire wrap, “not sure if this will work but we’re gunna a try it!” Type of art. Immediately subscribed 🤙🏼

Wow, Matt, you are a popular guy. Just ran across your videos today and subscribed. Thank you so much for sharing your hints and your talent. I'm just starting out trying to work with wire in this way. Love that you are so giving with what you know.
