DRAGONFLY WIRE WRAP TUTORIAL
How to make a dragonfly with about a foot and a half (to 2 feet) of 22 gauge copper wire, in about 5 minutes.
(See the "How to Wire-Wrap a Rosebud" video, to hang a rosebud off your dragonfly wing : ) ua-cam.com/video/rRpRtRpolNo/v-deo.html
I had been wanting to share this online, and when a teacher (of little ones) who makes puppets said "it would be nice to know how to make them", it felt like the perfect time to record this tutorial
Tools used: a pair of needle-nose pliers (smooth/ no teeth) and a simple pair of wire cutters.
(There was a third tool in the video, but it didn't get used)
This was one of those special gifts in life, because I didn't really learn it from anywhere; one day I was deep in thought.. and when i looked at the piece of wire I was bending, I realized it was a dragonfly : ) After a little practice you can make little dragonflies the size of a penny,, or a big dragonfly that's 5 feet wingtip to wingtip (using 10 and/or 12 gauge wire) with options of adding in silver and brass spirals all through the wings. This simple wrap has brought many people joy (And I hope it brings you and all your loved ones great joy too!)
All my wraps are created from recycled wire that's been rescued off the streets or has been donated from loved ones around
The wire here was 22 gauge, but if you use a little thicker wire.. like 20 gauge, they make a nice necklace pendant, with a little ring on the tip of a wing, for a string, ribbon or chain.
And if you want to get fancy you can mix in different color wires, such as copper silver and brass. If you watch the "How to Wire-wrap a Rosebud" video, you can hang a Rosebud off a wingtip, for a simple beautiful mobile. Good Fortune to you All, and thanks for tuning in!

    when i was a kid, they were used to grind meat, so it was called mincemeat. not the fruit variety used for pies. basically it's a screw thread, that pushes the contents towards small holes, where it's squeezed through. you can get different sized holes on detachable front plates

      The one you remember from when you were a kid, was a meat grinder, it has a different front than this Corona mill. This is a grain mill (not a meat grinder) which has to round plates at the front which the grain is milled between, just like milling stones, after it has been crushed some in the first grinder part. The meat grinder has the hole plates in different coarsenesses which you put on (or you can put a sausage horn on to stuff sausages with them too). 😊

    Good information I have a question: I saw that it immerses the seeds (or even almonds) in water and dehydrates them, it would be a kind of "malt" ... but what is the purpose of this operation in the extraction of the oil ( in general) ? Thank you very much

    • @yahoojuno
      @yahoojuno 5 років тому

      If using Almonds.. for instance they might be possibly a year old, and maybe as hard as a rock (figuratively) The one to two day (time for larger seed) soaking softens/ awakens/ activates enzyme life amongst many things.. at this point instead of oil in the nut, it would be moreso a white 'almond milk' inside.. With the slow-low-temp drying back for the general next couple days, the nut now lightly shrinks back into a rich (much softer flesh) oil filled nut. At this stage it can be put through a small hand mill (basic grinder) 2 X.. and it is now literally Pouring fresh oils.. grab a handful and squeeze, and large amounts of oil will literally pour forth from every part of your hand it can escape from: ) A more simplistic method might be to use some rocks to mash up the Almonds.. put the fresh mash into a piece of material and wring forth your new precious oils.

      Thank you. Actually the fresh oils are the by-product of a process gone right: ) The process of 're-naturing; revitalization; re-ripening, and what some might consider activating(The dormant hibernating seed) In general this simple process is valuable (for me) to bring the more acidic (asleep) seed into an Acid-Alkaline Balanced food digestibility for myself. By eating foods that complete me, my body stops craving 'food' and I sleep much better and think clearer, longer. Back to the question at hand I would consider it a form of malt, but my studies of malt definitions are limited right now. I feel the person(s) who have the greatest oils & fats, have access to the Greatest Non-Dairy Ice Creams, Milks, and Cheeses... it's about figuring out the recipes. When I search my mind for foods which I want to share with those who are nurturing the growth of their young or healing loved ones, I consider this type of renatured nut, as a potential substitute for the very same nut, but in a hardened acidic form. Seeds basically use higher forms of acidity to 'naturally' preserve themselves..to survive. And I remember hearing (old shows) when needing to eat more acidic foods, that a person should chew them super well; don't eat too many at once; and to eat them along with other foods that can help them to digest.. like enzyme rich vegetables or salad matter. The process is good to learn the variable natures of what true ripeness, are. Because, it's simple to soak, then lightly dry back, then simply eat and share. Good fortune with everything.

    Hello there, These seeds look shelled, how do you shell them in such amounts?

    • @yahoojuno
      @yahoojuno 5 років тому

      Bought these Sunflower seeds here, already shelled. But if I was shelling my own (which I haven't done yet) since learning from a wild seed harvester (Thanks Rick!) would probably figure a way to lightly break open the hulls first; then use a strong fan or two (lightly crossing jet streams) and multiple times dropping the broke-shell'd seeds thru the fan wind, an it should quickly whittle the pile cleaner with each pass thru the edge of the air currant, into a nice pile of seed Seen this done with many other types of seeds, and Sunflower seeds should be much easier by comparison. Also, have heard of crushing the hulls lightly, then dropping them into water; this allows the seeds to sink and the hulls to float.. I'd opt for the dry method; but many factors can change one;s mind on a given day; especially if it's a large amount of seeds getting hulled, dry might be better here

He had put a couple of spacers in between the plates to allow the chickpeas to only split, then pass through. Some crushed a little, but it wasn’t bad and it saved a lot of time on dehulling the chickpeas. Thinking of that made me wonder if the same method, just with one spacer, maybe could work to open the shell on sunflower seeds, so you could rinse or blow them off... Would have been cool! ☺️💚🌱🍀✅

    • @yahoojuno
      @yahoojuno 7 років тому

      Using the sprouting process activates (awakens) hibernating seeds; turning them into little ripe packets of food for the tiny little growing seed.. within the seed. Acid-Alkaline-Balanced oils are obtained from Acid-Alkaline-balanced nuts : ) Sun flower oil in stores is White-ish.. the activated Sunflower oils made this way are Golden : ) and one is ripe : )

    You need a small screw press that takes that ground up seed wrapped in the cloth and press that out. You would get more out than just by hand twisting. I agree to masticate the seed to pulp with those old grinders. Working on a screen press like a small apple press to press nut pulp.

    • @yahoojuno

      Yes, almost got the apple press tested once, figured it Might yield a quart or two of golden Sunflower oil [per little bucket pressed]. With the old grinders, run the ripe nuts/ seeds through 2 X, world of difference. You're definitely on the right track, thanks for the tips Pete

      I was using store bought seeds; I've heard some people lightly crush the hulls, then put them in water and the hulls all float up and the seeds stay down. I knew a seed cleaner once, and whatever seeds he needed to clean, after they were lightly crushed (so they'd separate) they would drop scoop-full's through a small fan's jet stream, till they were falling into separate piles. This method took continual (slight) re-adjustments, but worked great. There might be something online about cleaning seeds using fans; good luck

You will be able to easily tell; water will sink to the bottom, oils to the top, with clear visibility of separation.

      Sir, is it dried or fresh seeds ?

    • @yahoojuno
      @yahoojuno 5 років тому

      Apologies for the delay; in regards to your question, I've been starting out with dry sunflower seeds (the way you get them from market) Nut and seed sellers (Most anyway) dry their seeds and nuts so they stay preserved longer. When a nut or sunflower seed is dry, the enzymes leave, the seed Acidifies (AS A NATURAL PRESERVATIVE) and the golden oils turn into a hard waxy fat, for storage longevity. BUT, I use this process with fresher seeds too; you'll find "the fresher the seed, the less time it needs to soak, and awaken". Using an Almond as an example, while the seed is soaking, I'll periodically pick one up and break it Or bite it in half.. and I'll be able to see if it's done soaking, by the water mark striving to reach the middle. A lot of books say soak your nuts for 'this long', or for 'that long', but in reality, simply break the nut in half and let your simple observations be your guide : ) Also, I sometimes do 'multiple ripenings', meaning, after it's been soaked, and then it's dried back, I sometimes let IT GO PAST THE RIPE OILY STAGE, and continue to dry even more... THEN, I'll soak it AGAIN, and this time, because the seeds are super fresh from their recent ripening, instead of 10, 20 hours, or even 2 days soaked, the seeds might only need about 3 hours for the moisture to reach the center of the nut.. and then I let it Cure/Dry/Ripen again for it's normal amount or drying time.. as that slow drying is like I'm making the nut riper and riper and riper : ) What I like to call "the infinite cure". I hope this answer reaches you.. I gave you the long version answer, not only because of my delay in getting back to your question, but also because longer answers such as these can probably help others to better understand these processes as well. Thank you for asking Modal Skill, and also thank you for your patience. Wishing you wellness and success

The Almonds in Nigeria should be able to do what Almonds everywhere do (You should probably find out what you've been eating) This process of renaturing/ re-ripening works with most all the nuts and high oil seed I have tried..but I'm not worldly educated, and there certainly are a lot of kinds of 'high oil seeds' in the world.
