    When we bought our house, the little office space that would become my studio had a 6 by 4 foot tall mirror on one wall. I secretly hoped they would leave it and on closing day they asked if we wanted it. Absolutely…now I couldn’t imagine it any different and it makes the tiny space feel more open.

    If you want to be more sustainable in the studio you can purchas old towels and wash cloths for very little and use those to wipe down your space. That is what I do. Then when I go through all of them I wash a load of these and then they are ready to be used again.

    • @TheArtOfMetalsmithing
      @TheArtOfMetalsmithing  6 місяців тому +1

      Thank you so much! ❤ It's a pleasure to share new videos, ideas and designs with you here, and it's even bigger pleasure to read comments, which give me a lot of motivation and joy ❤ As for the wipes - to be honest the solution you mentioned is what I usually do :) But I also sometimes purchase these wipes for when I want to use an antibacterial option for a quick wipe. It was only a second time I purchased these in a whole year, so not much waste is generated from these. But I appreciate you sharing an alternative solution, which is definitely an excellent and sustainable option! I like to reuse my old towels that can't be used in the bathroom anymore, but are great for the studio.

    Hiya Lady Stardust,
    100,000 people who want more of your work. I wasn't the first, but I'm up there. Your work is such an inspiration to so many people, yes, most especially me. You are capable of lifting my spirits so easily; I absolutely love it. Your work is carefully planned to show the subject in its absolute best light.
    What do I collect? Why, your work! I will never have enough, but I do have the Wave!!! I wish I had the Harry Potter one too. Might you be persuaded to do a repeat on the castle?
    Keep going, dear lady; keep inspiring your adoring fans.
    Love Steve xxx

      Hi Steve! Thank you so, so much! ❤ I think you've been keeping me company since the very early days of the channel and I treasure our friendship. Your comments have always been so supportive and motivating, they have always been filled with precious input and ideas. I hope you know that your comments and messages mean the world to me and I'm very grateful for them ❤ Knowing that one of my proudest (if not THE proudest) creation, The Wave, is yours has always filled me with joy :) And, of course, I would be honoured if you decide to commission me to make a Hogwarts Castle for you. I'm always here, so whenever you're ready, just let me know and I will be delighted to work on this piece for you.
      I will keep going and sharing as much as I can ❤
      Thank you, Steve, stay safe xx Much love x

    *CONGRATULATIONS* on reaching 100,000 subscribers! You deserve it for all the great work and videos you do. I love your honesty and how genuine you are and love your designs (especially the mantas and butterflies and koi.). I look forward to the next 100,000. You are a real inspiration to me. I am predominantly a bookbinder (I collect antique bibles and antique books with interesting endpapers and painted book edges) and I did a silversmithing course some years ago and want to get back into it big time. I have a lot of silversmithing tools, just need to find some space and time to use them. I have lots of plans to make silver objects. Anyhow, keep working your magic. :)

You could maybe create some silver or brass elements for the books using metalsmithing techniques? Would be a nice way to combine these two crafts :)
