Minimalist Style Electroformed Crystals 

All of a sudden everyone is teaching electroforming on RU-vid. When I started I had to watch a video of a dad hosting pretend science camp with his kid 😭 you’re amazing and will save so many people from the struggle I experienced lmao

These pieces look amazing, so beautiful. I love copper and the way it looks with different gemstones, especially green and blue. I watched this other video about electro - plating Yvonne, and the guy who made it used super glue with baking soda to create a really strong bond between his substrate and the gemstone he was using. So, what he did was to apply super glue to, say, a piece of wood - or whatever - and then he stuck an amethyst nugget to the wood and added some baking soda to the glue with a tooth pick so that they bonded instantly. It was amazing to see, and then he electro - plated over the top of the glue and baking soda mixture. The mixture was smooth so it was easy to cover with the plating.

I’d love a silver tutorial for this! Not a great fan of copper, but love silver. I really like this minimal look! Nice work.

You’re hair is so pretty, also you’re very underrated

I have finally decided to stop being afraid of electroforming and bought myself a kit. Thank you for this video it has encouraged me to take the step and electroform. x

Thanks so much I have all my electroforming stuff together I just haven't felt ready to actually turn it on and go for it! All your tutorials are so amazing and you make me feel more confident I think I might try it today! And a soft solder tutorial would be appreciated too!! Love you and all you do!!

Another awesome video, loving these tutorials !

beautiful with the hair down!! love love love it.

Thank you so much!! I’m glad I found your video, very clear and I love the soothing background music

Yvonne, you are so adorable! I love watching your magic, LOL! I have picked up some amazing tips and general knowledge from your generous videos. Thank you so much for the inspiration! Love your hair by the way! :-)

Loved watching this video today. You really got into the: how to's and do's and don'ts! Keep up the great job!

💖👍Great project, Yvonne.

Omg you are an amazing teacher. I promise to eventually buy something from you to show my support. Much love and blessings.

LOVE YOUR HAIR YVONNE TURNED OUT REALLY NICE

great tutorial Yvonne, thanks so much!

wooow again you are amazing.. thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with all of us. Have a nice day !

Great video Von, love the hair!

Woow again stunning thank you

well done , beautiful.

Yikes! Try plating for 12 hours on 0.03. The rule of thumb is .01 for every square inch. That way you can plate more smoothly and you won’t have all that rough prickly copper. Less amp is always better. Do 0.02 for amulets and rings as they are roughly 2 square inches. Great job on capturing the technique tho!

ur gorgeous and so amazingly talented.

I've not seen copper tape used like that... Great idea... thanks for the tip

Could you do an intro to electroforming video? I’d love to see it! Thanks so much for sharing all you do!

I would love a tutorial on how to electroform with silver

That is awesome and beautiful👍👍.

Awesomeness!

Thank you again for this video I very much would enjoy a video more in depth on electro plating on natural objects such as Leaves,Stones ,And flowers I know its more work for you but I feel with your knowledge it will help us Novice Expand our knowledge on the Types of electro forming and showing the final result.4/6/2019

Very cool...Hugs!

i adore the guitar in the background i just really need a 1hr version to fall asleep to

My mom worked for fire mountain gems for like 8 years lol she has 3 lifetimes worth if beading supplies

i really love you ! really love your work ..i ment! :*

If you want you can use lead solder since you are going to copper plate over it. ... Or you can use lead free or even silver solder ... And you can use the copper tape even with silver plating ...

If you want a beautiful smooth look with no bumps turn your rectifier on low and leave in the bath for long slow and long makes for the best looks smooth and beautiful but thats me many people do like the bumpy looks i like to to look like its a pretty rose gold. Im no pro at this Im very knew to this technique for me its the low and slow long its in the better it will look 10 hour or longer but do check on your piece often

Wow!

I look forward to becoming a Patreon next month!

Great Video Von, I think you might enjoy this Artist her name is: Maria Riznyk Shes Master crafter in Electro forming.I See we both enjoy the technology of chemistry .

Hey Yvonne!! Great video!! Can you please please tell me the name of the rubber brush tool you use? x

Yvonne, thanks sooooo much for all the time and effort and heart you put into all your instructional videos. I had a question- for the little bottles that you electroformed the lids/toppers for- you put on the lid in the electroform bath, is that right?

Wow nice! You mention around 6:35 that you can electroform with silver now too? Never heard about that! Do you have more details or can you do a video of that? Thank you for the video! I'm very new to this and want to try this out sometime!

Thank you so much for posting these educational videos!! Have you every tried to used the tape to connect broken crystals? It is structurally safe?

I don't know why your copper tape is so pretty, mine is for soldering glass so it's much thicker but yours is super shiny

Thank you so much, great video! I was wondering, I am new to electroforming..and is the tape alone sufficient to make the copper stick or hold onto the stones once its electroformed? Also was wondering your thoughts on why you prefer tape to conductive paint...Thank you so much for any input, Im a total newbie! :)

Love your channel.i have watched so many vids and and still cant get my power supply to stop making the flakey powdery copper build up..any ideas?

is the latex enough, to spare the crstals being tumbled? this is lovely work

Can organic material be electoformed? If so acorns would be cute

Hello, I am from Chile, my name is Lorena, I wanted to see where you bought the copper tape, please, I loved it and where can I buy it online, bye. I really liked your tutorial

Жаль, что Я не понимаю о чём Вы говорите! 😞 У Вас чудесные работы, чудесное творчество!!! Мне остаётся только любоваться!

Try running it at 0.20 amps and it'll produce a smoother finish. But be aware it will take a little bit longer

I am interested in knowing how to make pieces that have a silver color!! :) :)

will you do one on silver???

Is that rubber tool available? My silicone tools are to soft to burnish. I have an agate burnisher but it is a bit to hard for my purpose.

Do we have to electroplate the copper tape or can we treat differantly

How do you darken the electroformed parts to make them look more antique-ish?

Where do I get copper tape? I can seem to find some anywhere. Someone help.

I am getting texture on full pendant but I want loop in glossy finish, plz help

what is the rubber tipped tool called?

Are you single?
