Hi susan Can i ask how you got the imprint o the copper first & what you used to cut the different shapes out of copper & the size or thickness of copper, i am a stained-glass Artist & ive never seen this technique, ive just subscribed so i havent seen yr other video's can you show in a tutorial if you dont already have one the process of the copper first 😊 Thankyou i love this look its awesome
The patterned metal was made by running it through a rolling mill with a patterned steel plate. A similar effect can be made using texture hammers without a rolling mill. Also a different process can etch texture with ferric chloride. You may want to Google search examples those processes as it's too much for me to explain here. They are new rabbit holes to go down!
This was a great tutorial! Thank you! You mentioned someone named Debbie who does a beautiful job of stamping in solder and that she had an Etsy shop as well as being on Instagram. I would love a link to her Etsy shop if you wouldn’t mind. Or at least the name of her Etsy shop. I am not on Facebook, so I can’t see your group. Thank you so much. Robin
You have great tools love :) fascinating for me are as well this tools what you use to drill holes in pieces, what is the name of this small helpers ? I was trying to use just drill but is difficult as the edges of holes doesn't look good and sometimes whole piece is bending 😅 I love your videos, you gave patient good time for us here , thank you ❤
Love this take on solder!

Thank you
Thank you for this video. Please can you offer help. The solder doesn't seem to stick to my copper. It peels off once cool
It's usually an issue where not enough flux is applied. Flux is your friend!!
@@snoozin1011 thank you
How do you make patern on copper blanks ?
I use a rolling mill with texture plates for the textures before I cut the blanks.

Where do you purchase red rubber stamps?
Many craft stores have them. I especially like invokearts.com stamps.
The solder listed at Walmart says lead free. Did they change it in just a year?
Any solder you use for making jewelry should be lead free. I'm not sure what Walmart carries.
Is your apron on backwards?
No, lol. I record on my cell phone and that makes it appear reversed.
I have just got my setup, but my solder won't stick at all, it just crumbles back off 😢 what am I doing wrong?
are you using flux? If so, what kind? You must use flux or solder won't stick.
@Susan Wade aka The Artisan's Workshop I tried using borax as a flux?
@@bubblefizz9144 that won't work. You need something like Classic Gel Flux that you can do an online search for.
@Susan Wade aka The Artisan's Workshop ohhh I hope so, I've ordered some stained glass flux , I can't get what you use I'm in the UK
@@bubblefizz9144 ah, I see. Yes stained glass flux is fine.
Hi
What temperature do you have your solder iron on to get solder to liquify like that? Thanks
