That was beautiful to watch 😍 did you have to cover the stones with something like nail polish ?
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I usually cover more delicate stones with plastidip while they are in the solution and remove it after.
very good video, see what the paste used to join the pieces is called. Thank you.
How long do you keep your pendants in the liver of Sulphur?
Hey, thx! Those are beautiful. :)
Hi I was wondering if the copper wire and the solution in the container is reusable? I'm researching and your video has been the most informative!
What do you use to protect your stones?
How do you make the Conductive graphite paint?
Please someone tell me electricform is gold!?
Hello Lindsey,
which current did you use & for how long did you keep it in the solution? I'm a beginner and this information would help me a lot because yours turned out so beautiful! Thanks in advance. Your video was so calming to watch. Have a beautiful day. Love, Elena♡
Hi Elena! I usually go by voltage and keep it around .3 or .4v. As for the amount of time, it varies depending on the area that needs to be electroformed but an average amount of time is probably 10 hours.Hope this helps and thanks so much for watching my video!
I didn't realize you can let the seperate pieces touch eachother in the bath. Does that ever compromise the evenness of the plating or cause them to form/stick together?
13 seconds in... this is so dramatic so far.... i love it 😂 you haven’t even started it’s just the dramatic music and dramatic editing... I’m sold 🤣
I loved how you shaped your wire without a mandrel, Ill have to try that! Also what stones did you use? labradorite, and amethyst..?
Also for the Midas Bright Electro-forming copper solution... can you reuse?
Nice electroPLATING video ... Good imagination and item selection ...
I was told the epoxy sculpt is toxic so I've been wearing gloves...I'd have so much more control without the gloves
hello, I'm from Brazil, and I'm having trouble preparing an efficient conductive paint, could you help me with some formula please. thank you
what numbers do you set the water too !?? but thank you!!! for this video. it's actually the only helpful one I've seen so far & no ones talking its just cool music hahahaaha
This is so beautiful! Your jewels and the time lapse. Thank you! I feel inspired🙏🏽
This is so fascinating, beautiful pieces too. Thanks for sharing!
Interesting process. Wonder if it's strong enough for small dalle de verre work?
Hola, me gustaría saber como se hace la pintura de grafito conductiva. Muchas gracias. Muy buen trabajo
Hi lindsey, i love your timelapse and jewels, i'm learning to electroform, and i want to ask you where do you get your crystals?
I had no idea the process was relatively simple though time consuming. I love this method, you can really focus on the design!
Those look fantastic. Electroforming is so fascinating.
the solutions used in the whole process doesn't decay the crystals? They don't do any harm to the crystals?
and thank you for sharing! think I wanna start trying some of that electroforming. : )
It's a little late, but if you seal your crystals with a coat of clear nail polish, they won't be damaged :)
Hello. I love your video! I am new to copper electroplating. What do you use to cover the more delicate stones before putting them in the bath? What do you use to remove the clear coat from the stones once they are out of the bath? And when place your pendant into the XL GEL solution, how long do you keep them in there?
I appreciate any info you can give a newbie! :)
Hey, clear nail polish works fine for me. I remove it after. If you apply the polish thick enough, it will peel off easily after. You can place your pendant in the liver of Sulphur solution once it's out of the bath and dry. Leave it in until it reached your desired darkness. Usually takes just a few seconds.
This is a fantastic video!
you r creative
Thank you so much! Good luck on youtube!!!!
I love yur video !!
thank you for sharing this
This video is the best I've seen. Can you tell me which gauge wire you use in the video for the semihoop components? 14ish? And does it also get electroformed or stay as is?
I went with 12 gauge:)
Thanks so much for watching! I used 14 gauge bare copper wire in these pieces, and they are electroformed as well.
I've been having such a hard to with electroforming some leaves. The metal clasp seem to get platted, but the leaves just dont no matter how long I leave them in. I've already tried different paints. The most resent one was graphite mixed with mod podge. I dont know what to adjust next. :/ Any helpful tips?
Also, at what voltage do you leave your rectifier?
The graphite paint I use is a mix of acrylic paint, graphite powder, and a little distilled water. Did you seal the leaves with a varnish before starting the process?
@@elizafranco13 Usually I keep it around .3 or .4v
@@LindseyGardner I decided to try a different copper solution and Im actually testing it out today. *fingers crossed* Oh wow, thats a really low voltage. Mine was set at 1.3. Thank you for replying though. I really appreciate it. 🙏 Oh and, yes, the leaves were coated beforehand.
Where is a good place to buy gemstones from?
I get a lot of my stones from Etsy!
Rose Creek Treasures on Etsy and a ton of shops on IG
