Thank you so much for your sweet words 😊 I'll do my best to keep the creativity flowing💖

Thank you so much! 🥰 Glad you enjoyed the video and our furry baby 🐶💖

Hahahahahha, great point! I'm sure you must have great hand-cutting skills 🤣

@@funkyfunyou8571 no I don’t I’d do all the prep cut it and then throw it all away after k messed it up 😂😂

Awww thanks!! I made that myself using a laser cutter :)

Yes, you can definitely use a hairdryer to dry the ring, and use a gas stove for firing. Just ensure the clay is thoroughly dried to prevent any cracking or damage during the firing process :)

Haha, thanks a ton! Super glad you found the channel ❤️

Sanding before and after firing just makes the piece smoother and shinier. Doing it before cuts down on how much you need to sand after it’s fired up.

Hi! Great question! If the clay breaks after firing, unfortunately, it can't be reused for firing again. However, you can definitely recycle the silver material by melting it down and reforming it if you have the right tools and skills. If it breaks before firing, you can just re-wet it, knead it back to a workable consistency, and start over. Hope that helps!

I'm putting together a detailed video to guide you through the entire heating process. I typically use a stove that can reach high temperatures, suitable for firing silver clay. For stones, I stick with heat-resistant CZ stones to ensure they can withstand the process without damage.

Just do it! Buy plenty of silver clay so you can have a few attempts. Spend £100 on clay and £50 on tools and you can make something great!

Love that you want to DIY a ring for your girlfriend-that’s super thoughtful! About the alexandrite, these stones can be tricky with heat, so it’s best not to bake it in the silver clay. You can totally make a ring without fancy tools, though! Just shape the ring, fire it up (a kitchen torch will do if you don’t have a kiln), and set the stone afterward to avoid any damage.

Hey!!! Thanks a bunch for the follow and the sweet words! 😘❤️ Super happy you're enjoying the videos.

Aw, thanks Kambreigh! ❤️ I'll definitely remember the love and support from you!!

Awww, you're too sweet!!

Haha, thanks! I should probably share more about the hard parts of running a small biz from home too ;(

I made these screen printing patterns myself :)

I waited a whole week 😭 I definitely should try the warm-up method you mentioned. Thanks so much for sharing your process-it’s really helpful!

Thanks for breaking that down! Really appreciate :)

Thanks for the great advice! I'll definitely look into getting a filter mask or respirator for the cleanup. Love the tips about using the top of an already heated kiln for those thicker pots!!

You're right! I hadn't even thought about that. I’ll make sure to be more careful with the dust, especially around my dog 😭

^ totally! a preheat to your firing will help draw out the moisture that caused these pieces to explode. just make sure to keep the lid cracked open or peeps out (while preheating only) to lessen the damage the moisture will do to the elements in the kiln.

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely make sure to check for any coldness in the pieces next time and try that long warm-up!!

I got it in Big Design market in Melbourne, I think it's a brand called JDV store ;)

Thanks!! He's cute but also so naughty 😉

Thank you so much! It’s always great to connect with creative people online through my content ;)

Hahaha, thanks for the feedback! Got any good background music recommendations? Always looking to improve it 😂

Thanks! I really believe in making the most out of everything. Glad you appreciate it! 😊

Well, thanks for taking your time to comment on this piece of crap.

Haha, I was just trying to add some random patterns to make it fun-looks like the 'rage bait' strategy works! Thanks for watching :)

Hola! I work for myself in my own small business. 🙏❤️

Thank you! Cheers!

I use Final Cut for editing longer videos and CapCut for shorter ones.

Awww, thank you! I'm so glad you found it relaxing to watch ;)

Thank you so much! 😊 I grew up in China and moved to Australia in my 20s. I've been living here ever since and loving it! ✨

it‘s called precious metal clay or silver clay

It really depends on the type of stone you use. Most hard stones can handle the firing process without breaking, but if they aren’t covered sufficiently by the clay, they might pop out of their setting. But just many stones can't stand high temperatures-often, their color darkens. You should definitely check with the stone suppliers and consider doing some tests yourself :)
