Thank you kindly! People are loving these pumpkins, who knew? I’ve already sold 2 so I might have to make some more as these were earmarked for the local shops! Your favorite pumpkin was the 1st to go! Thx about the dentist…I’m so happy with this new Dr! I’ve currently got ALL female professionals on my health team & I’m grateful! 🙏😊🎃🧡

@@karensintuitivejewelry that's awesome

Thx so very much my friend! I’ve already sold 2 of the pumpkins with the patina so there you have it, right? People love the antique look! I’m probably going to make more since they’ve been so popular! I was making them for my local shops & now I only have 2 to take! 🤣🤣🤣 I’m not really complaining!

@@karensintuitivejewelry Wow, that is great!! I’m just going to have to agree to disagree with those patina loving people🤪🤪🤪 They are definitely adorns!!!🧡🧡🧡. No problem making more when they are selling so good… since they are pumpkins and not jack-o-lanterns- they would be popular/appropriate all of Fall up to Thanksgiving really!!! I think you better get the pumpkin pendant factory going my friend😉 Love & Hugs

Thank you so very much for your kind words! I’m happy to have you join me on my journey! 🙏😊🎃🧡

I’m 100% with ya on this! I’m happy to hear it wasn’t just ME! 🤣🤣🤣 Thx so much for your feedback & support! I appreciate You! 🙏😊🎃

Thanks so much! I appreciate your interest & support! 🙏😊💖 I think dentists have finally realized how terrifying they are!!! 🤣

Thank you very much! You’re so kind & encouraging! I appreciate you! Yes, let me know how yours turn out! The hats are definitely the hardest of the projects & I agree with the size portions! Keep at it! 🙏😊🎃🧡

Thank you kindly! I attached these tendrils at the top while they’re still straight in the exact same manner as all the other wire & at the end of the project just take your round nose pliers & turn the wire into little spirals stretching to create an elongated spiral!

Thank you kindly! I appreciate your interest & support! In the attached tutorial you can see the exact process that I used in the pumpkin tutorial! It’s a delicate balance trying to avoid getting the patina on areas that you don’t want it but it’s doable using very small amounts on a Q-tip & then buffing off what you want to return to a high shine! Care must be taken not to buff too much to avoid taking any coating off your wire or charm attachments! Another technique I’ll sometimes use is applying acrylic paint or black nail polish to the recessed areas instead of the black patina solution & then clean-up with acetone polish remover! You must also be mindful of the fact that the acetone could damage your gemstones! I hope this helps! 🙏😊💜 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oql4q8x8ltmrfIk.htmlsi=86p0qSyXJhD-2vMH

Thank you so much for your interest & support! For soft soldering projects you intend to patina you will use Novacan black patina for soft solder. If you intend on using copper or sterling silver projects you need a different solution to achieve the aged look such as Liver of Sulfur. Any metal that has a coating will not accept a patina of any kind. I hope this helps! 🙏😊💜

Thx! I just saw a video about that green foam but it has to be the Wet kind which was a little more expensive so I’ll have to wait in that! I appreciate your feedback & support! 🙏😊💖

Thank you for your interest & support! Although the patina solutions are toxic in their liquid form & should be used with precautions; once applied, washed & dried the item is safe to wear unless the individual has a propensity to allergic reactions. You can also apply sealants but individuals can also be sensitive to sealants! Patinas are generally viewed as “safe” in various jewelry making techniques! Patina is a naturally occurring chemical reaction to the metals exposure to the environment & chemicals such as humans pH, perfumes, soap, etc. Patina applications are just a way to speed up the natural process! The majority of individuals do fine with patina jewelry! I hope this information was helpful!

@karensintuitivejewelry Thankyou so much for yr reply & I'm sure yr answer not only helped me but many others who might be wondering the same thing I love all yr jewelry you do such a fine job ❤

@@ThePose78 thx very much! Novacan Black patina

@@karensintuitivejewelry ah ok. You just lightly did it. I wondered that. Thx!

There are several different products used for sealing of pieces but all are considered temporary & will need to be reapplied from time to time. The sealants themselves could also be an irritant to your skin so there’s that to consider as well! I would recommend not having the particular piece touch your skin by wearing it over your shirt or blouse ensuring there’s no skin contact! Thx for your interest & support!

@@karensintuitivejewelry thnk you so much

Here’s a link to a company in Ireland I believe that you can purchase through Amazon as well!

Thx so much. That’s awesome that you have lapidary skills! I appreciate your interest & support! The best way to contact me is through Instant Messenger. Are you on Facebook or Instagram?

Yes! I talk about it at about the 27 minute mark! Have you watched the tutorial yet?

@@karensintuitivejewelry yes!! I must have missed it ☹️

😂😂😂

Are you using paste flux? What temperature are you working at?

@@karensintuitivejewelry yes paste flux. Honestly idk today was my first time trying. I used a cheap kit for $15 that I got on Amazon

@@navasan.. I don’t like the paste for that reason & only use the Novacan liquid flux now. If you haven’t watched this video check it out. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLSii9JpnLOoZXk.htmlsi=NKv_9bgG1jcGGDfX
