Thank you for this video, you are amazingly talented :). Two tips for sealing copper so as to preserve the colors better: 1. Instead of the resin you used, why not try a lighter/less dense version - the one that is called Top Coat. Top Coat resins (for manicure) are specially formulated in such a way to not only preserve the pigments underneath, but they also enhance/improve the look of holographic films, pigments, painted details, etc. This makes sense, like changing the objective glass on a camera - the refraction of the light is different with different resins. Also, these resins are thinner, and you get a thinner resin layer (less resin for the light to go through), and they also cure in 30 seconds :). Also, of you want your jewelry to be scratch resistant, choose Scratch Resistant Tempered Top Coat (no wipe), which has a better formulation than ordinary top coats. Tip 2. If a UV LED lamp is overheating the resin and hence the copper during curing, there is a new generation of LED lamps with a "gentle" heating option, for women who are sensitive to heat. It starts to cure the resin much more gradually, and the heat that develops is not intense at all, but more lukewarm. Also, you can make pauses and instead of curing for the full amount of time, you can break it up into sections, to let copper cool in between.

Thanks so much! I’m a beginner too so it’s great to learn from someone who doesn’t get to technical. Please keep going

I found your video very helpful.You did a great job explaining for us beginners.I am a 71 year old grandfather in new jersey usa who started making copper jewelry about 6 years ago after a major heart attack, had never done anything creative before that. I am going to do some flame painting of copper , there i something about copper I LIKE. Loved your video great job explaining it thanks a lot

OMG. These are just GORGEOUS. I have already made copper jewelry before, but have never seen this process - and how EASY it is!! Great video!

Could never get tired of hearing you talk! I love your accent. All of these are brilliant, my fave was the triangle xxx

Thankyou ma'am for accepting my request about copper creations 🙈. I'm really happy ❤. Your creations are gorgeous . Keep it up❤

Beautiful pieces! Thank you for sharing an incredible tutorial.

Wow beautiful. I didn't even know that was possible will give it a try. Thanks

I'd never heard of flame painting until about half an hour ago when I saw a pair of earrings on Etsy that looked amazing. I just had to find out what and how! Thanks for the tutorial, think I'm gonna give it a go if I can find my torch!

So excited for this!

Thank you so much - I've started doing the flame painting and this is so helpful!

Thank you for sharing. I think I now have another medium to add to my repetoire. Beautifully done.

Thank you so much, I've been experimenting a lot over the years with copper, and now I'm new to UV resin; finally it's all coming together!!!

This is definitely a must try for 2022!

This is so amazing i cant wait to try myself thank you for uploading this!!!

I have a pencil torch (used for soldering usually), I can't wait to give this a try! 💞

Hi, I just found your video, these look amazing, im going to give it a try. Thanks for explaining it all so well. I must make a note of the colour order lol...

Lou you are just the Queen of Art. Your video's are so interesting and informative, you always explain everything and in a language we can all understand. Love it when you show different project's, I really must have a go at this. Thank you my dear friend for your time and sharing. Love you x

Wow! These pieces are just gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and explaining the process so wonderfully.

New subscriber. This is just what I’ve been looking for. A new technique to add to my jewelry making. Thank you 🙏🏻

They are beautiful. That was fascinating

Gorgeous!

Thanks so much. Your pieces are totally amazing!

You are a gem....very confident and talented. TY

I happened to look this up when you mentioned it the other day, because I wanted to make something for a work Christmas party this week. I'm extremely happy with the results and it was very easy to do! I couldn't believe all the colors! The camera really doesn't do it justice. And the nice part is, you can't really ruin it; and if you don't like the pattern or colors, just let it cool off and try again!

Louise you amaze me every time you post a video. Thank you so very much for sharing 🤗🤗🤗

I am amazed by this process, such beautiful results, thank you for sharing.

Love your work, this gives me a new detention to improve with. For this I say think you

So beautiful. Thank you!

Really beautiful, now I’m going to try!

WOW!! 😳 Just wow!! My lady... You are so blessed! I feel so lucky to have run in to your studio! Thank you!!

Such Beautiful results. So pretty. I'm a beginner myself and working with PMC copper clay. I accidentally did this to my peace and loved the pattern. But unfortunately for me as I'm still learning it broke! I was extremely gutted. But as they say, practice makes perfect! So hopefully one day, I show give it another go and hopefully get some results like yours. Well done and thank you for your great video. 😊

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

totally love these x

Stunning, you are very talented, thank you so much for sharing your experiences . Merry Christmas and happy New year to your family and you my friend ❤️❤️

Thank you, I found this video absolutely fascinating. Until it showed up on my feed a few minutes ago, I had never heard of flame painting. I always love learning about new ways to make jewelry, though, being blind, this is one I will not be attempting. I think I will stick to my attempts to wire-wrap stones and wrestle it into home-made chain links.

Very well explaned and shown. Thank You!

Very pretty!!!

These pieces are Gorgeous Louise!!!! 💕💕🧜‍♀️

This a an amazing video. simple and not intimidating . ty for sharing! I am starting to make copper pieces for my beaded jewelry and I love this!

Very nice video, you do beautiful work and are a great teacher, I am just starting this hobby and you illustrate it exceptionally well, Thank you for doing this. Bob from Arkansas USA

This is brilliant Louise! I have never seen this before, it's given me an idea, will share this vid and give you a shout out for the great inspiration 🥰 Thank you 😊

Really beautiful 😍

These are very striking! In 1972, in Provincetown, Mass, I worked in a shop that had similar designs but they used chemicals.....it was a hit then, I imagine this creation will definately find a following! I love them. Thank you for sharing this with us!😊💚💙🧡👍

The thing is, the person getting/buying the items won’t know that it was a different colour before it was resined! Love them. You give lots of inspiration! 😊

That's really wickedly cool! 💖💖💖👏👏👏🇦🇺

I applaud your use of the simple kitchen torch. Keep it simple. It's really working. Besides, those professional torch's come with a price. Like contracts just to fill your tanks. Love your content!

Beautiful work

Looks pretty.

Thank you so much, your work is just beautiful ;-)❤

Thank you!!

I wonder you you could seal with caranuba wax (Turtle Car Wax). If that would seal well enough and not change the colors??? What I’m also wondering if the resin is heating up slightly when curing and if that is what’s causing the copper colors to shift again? That’s why I was trying to think of a sealant that wouldn’t heat up. We use Turtle Wax in sealing copper foil soldered joins in traditional stained glass pieces to seal them.

Thank you so much for this video! Every single one of your pieces turned out so beautiful! I will definitely give it a try now!

Super helpful info about the progression of colors! Interestingly, this is the same order of colors when using a liver of sulfur patina on copper that's been heavily plated with silver. Gorgeous work!

I'm going to share this with a flame painting Grp I'm on; you are right about learning from a beginner (although you are so good at it; I wouldn't have thought you were a beginner). I thoroughly enjoyed your video, and I'll have to try your brand of UV resin, mine did not stay on well at all. Thank you!

Thank you for this video great work ❤I am a nail technician so will use no wipe top coat also will use glitter will be having a play after Xmas 😊❤️👍🏻

Louise I absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for sharing this ❤️ I will definitely be trying it soon and if I make a video you will get the credit 👍😀❤️

Thank you !

How interesting👍

Thank you so much, Louise, for showing us this beautiful technique. I stumbled over your video while looking for TIG welding clips. Building a nice little brooch additionally, I guess, could sooth the tension of my wife, after hours of TIGging in the workshop... ;-) Volker

I love your east riding twang.

PS - Wow!... the UV resin really does make it beautiful and shiney! ❤️❤️ Have you ever used ProtectaClear for Jewelry? It doesn't make it look glassy but it does seal jewelry so it doesn't tarnish, it doesn't turn yellow with age, and it maintains it's pre-sealed color. It's sorta expensive but it's really good... much better than Krylon or Rust-Oleum's crystal clear coat. That stuff was awful and I had to strip my jewelry and repolish.

Thank you!!!!!

I love it,the funny thing is,my sister gave me a book,and inside was a copper book mark 1 1/2" × 6" the perfect starter size to practice on

Just found your channel, love the flame painting copper, had watch a video also of you making resin earrings beautiful! Love your work it’s beautiful thank you for sharing!!! Just Subscribed to your channel 😊

Thanks!

Very nice! are you also putting the resin on the back so that the copper doesn't tarnish or stain the wearer or their clothing?

Very interesting and totally beautiful Louise you are always making me say wow! I'll be trying this technique Thank You for sharing your creative talents 😁❤👍🏾💯👏🏾👏🏾 How do you make the pendant hole part please? Thank you!

I came across your channel by accident and I am so happy I did. You are very talented you do beautiful work. What kind of surface are you working on I don't want to start a 🔥 I will definitely check out all your videos .... You are a great teacher thank you for sharing your ideas and beautiful work👍👍

Спасибо ❤️

Absolutely beautiful! ❤️ The copper becomes annealed so can you tumble it after painting but before sealing it? I discovered flame painting last year and played around with it some. I LOVE it and I'm anxious to get my disc cutter today so I can play. 😀 In an attempt to get 2 skinny rectangles almost alike, I laid them on my solder block side by side and touching and I've also partially covered my blanks to create patterns by blocking the flame. I noticed you did your rectangles separately and they look similar. Of course, there's no wrong way to flame paint as long as one is getting color and I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the vibrant purples, greens, and golden oranges. ❤️😊 Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work! ❤️❤️❤️

Replay. Great video..Thank you

I love the colours you can get heating metals and a little bit of me is always sad when they’re pickled and polished away.

The blanks I got from cooksandgold are so small what is the size of teardrop piece you used in the video?

beautiful ❤does it have to be a real piece of copper.ty

thank you for this video! i love your work and appreciate the way you talk us through your process My question for you and the community is, do we need to put a resin on at all? I love the way the resin looks, but I’m wondering if the colors will stay if I chose to not resin at all. Thank you!!

Do you polish the piece before flame painting it?

Loved your video!!!! Did not see the link for that torch you use ?

I’ve seen many of your tutorials and love them all. I don’t like using UV light because I have issues with my eyes and I’ve been told by my eye doctor not to use UV light. Could I use regular artist resin like art resin? Why is it necessary to use UV resin? Appreciate your continuing beautiful creations

Hi Louise, can you tell me what thickness copper you use for earrings and pendants? Thank you, Michele from Australia.

Just saw your video that Daniel Cooper reccommended and i love it! QUESTION, can one use copper plated blanks? I am not finding much anywhere for pure copper blanks? Any reccommondations would be helpful and very appreciated.

LOL WELL THATS QUICK I FOUND IT LOL THANKYOU LOL

Hello Louise, all my gratitude for your generosity, in sharing your knowledge. I want to ask you, in the color scale you describe, in what order do yellow and orange appear? Blessings.

Beautiful!! I can't help but wonder about something...could it be the UV lamp that dulls the color, rather than the resin itself? Maybe it would be worth experimenting with. (Just a thought, I've never done this but have worked with resin for several years.)

have you exposed the sealed items to the kind of heat you get if you set the item on a window ledge in direct sunlight, i used to flame paint the copper vases i make for my metal roses but no matter what i did to seal in the color, if they were set on a shelf that got direct sunlight through a window the color would eventually fade to nothing, it's not the UV, its the heat.....

Can you use regular resin like let's resin.
