Oh my gosh it is fabulous love it wow . I really enjoyed seeing the series you created to making this and i hope you will do more in the future. I hope there is a riveting tutorial in your posts. I really need to work on learning that I also enjoy and collect vintage tins and odd assortment of metal stuff and would like to implement them into my pieces as I notice on your main piece you really can't see the riveting
Thank you very much for this serie😊👍 It's going to be great help for my project of squash blossom! I'm preparing it but I would need an advice please😅 What kind of silver beading wire do you use? I guess it must be very strong to deal with all the silver and turquoises.... Many thanks for France🙏
@@emiro8421 I like using the sterling round foxtail chain for stringing these heavier beads. On RioGrande’s website it is item number 612262B. It comes in a few different mm sizes.
I really like both of them but I worry about the strength of the tiger tail with heavy necklaces. I did have tiger tail break on one of these and maybe it just wasn’t the right ply for it because I do have one strung on some that is holding up really well.
I have a question.. I made a squash blossom necklace and it won't lay right keeps flipping over . Like 3 on one side always turning .do you have any suggestions?
Oh darn! I’m guessing it’s an issue with where the connection is on the back of those blossoms and being a bit off balance. I’d measure the ones that lay flat and compare to the other three, maybe you can bend the loops a bit to fix.
It’s mostly made from layers of 24 gauge. The wire I couldn’t tell you, I don’t tend to keep my metal labeled or organized by size. Whatever I have on hand is what I use. I’m terribly unorganized as far as metal.
Wow!! How amazing! It's all so beautiful and creative! That pendant is so unique. Fantastic work. Thank you for sharing!🤩💖💕
Thank you so much!! I had that pendant idea sketched out for several years, it was fun to finally create him.

Please do a video explaining all of the tools needed for working with silver and turquoise.
Hi Angela, do you mean in general what tools for metalsmithing or specifically what’s needed in this squash blossom project?
@@amuckdesign For metal work.
Btw.. thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I am definitely interested in learning this trade!

What kind of silver beading wire do you use?
I guess it must be very strong to deal with all the silver and turquoises....
Many thanks for France🙏
@@emiro8421 you’re very welcome. I’ll look up the chain that I use and post the size/item# tomorrow.
@@amuckdesign thank you!

@@amuckdesign thank you very much! 😊👍
This was awesome and your necklace turned out beautiful. One questions, do you prefer silver beading or tiger tail? And why? Thanks.
I really like both of them but I worry about the strength of the tiger tail with heavy necklaces. I did have tiger tail break on one of these and maybe it just wasn’t the right ply for it because I do have one strung on some that is holding up really well.
Wat is that bowl and rocks apparatus called that you used to solder???
@@TheInfraredzone it’s called an annealing pan with pumice.

What guage silver and size and guage wire for the naja.
It’s mostly made from layers of 24 gauge. The wire I couldn’t tell you, I don’t tend to keep my metal labeled or organized by size. Whatever I have on hand is what I use. I’m terribly unorganized as far as metal.
What did you string it with?
I used sterling beading chain that I get from Rio grande.
