Wow what a fantastic tutorial love it definitely on my list of things to try out. Your book came in the mail the other day its as fantastic as I knew it would be hope everyone gets a copy its a need for the library of a metalsmith for certain. Thank you for doing this video
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing this incredible tutorial, Nicole! I truly enjoyed watching and learning and am going to try my hand at a mountain range soon
Let me know how it goes!
This is lovely. I make a lot of 'mountain ' but haven't tried this technique, definitely on my list. Thankyou. Patsy
Thanks for this Nicole!! I will have to make this. When we were in the Tetons with our grandsons, we had to get up really early to get to Jackson Hole airport and
as we were driving out of the park a HUGE moon was coming over the mountains!! I will never forget that sight! It was incredible and I have always wanted to do something
with this memory............beautiful, thank you!
WoW!...i have been wanting to do something like this since moving to the mountains recently...thank you for sharing this beautiful tutorial! i am excited to give it a try!
Really outstanding...love these beautiful pieces! Thank you for this tutorial, I will give it a try❤.
Such an amazing tutorial.. thank you! I've never seen LOS applied like that! Beautiful piece💖
Either the LOS needs to be warm or the piece. The LOS lasts longer than just one day if it remains room temperature, so I prefer that method.
Really outstanding...love this beautiful pieces! Thank you for this tutorial, I will give it a try❤.
This is a wonderfully educational tutorial for me. My Aha moment was when you used both pieces of the sawed mountain to create background and foreground. Will definitely try this! Thanks for sharing your talent!
Oh good!
So many great tips, Nicole! Thanks
excellent!
Second time I watched this today…..inspiring, thank you 🙏
wonderful!
@@ringgoldnicI’m getting closer to making this……..it’s taken me eight years! ( I paint and bash copper for embellishing oak frames ala arts and crafts)….anyway I have a question Nicole……I made a stamp for branding my wooden frames and stamping the copper, and hopefully silver in the future….it’s similar to your tattoo, so I don’t want to use it if it has some profound meaning, I’ll change it. My mums maiden name is Norwegian, ‘Broberg’ it means mountain bridge in Norse. So you can see the obvious symbolic echo. A mountain with a bridge. What does actually symbolise, your tattoo that is. Ignore me if I’m being familiar and or rude.🙏
Great tutorial. Can wait to give it a go. Just got your book today too. Told the family it's everyman for him/herself for a while now while I try and find time to try everything and practice practice practice.
Haha! Thank you!
I’m impressed by that mega bowl of silver dust! Great video Nicole. And loving your book too!
Haha I was too!
LOTS of carving! And thank you!
Nicole, that ring is just freaking outrageous!
As a true expert you make it look so easy. Thank you for the inspiration.
Great tut! Thank you!!
Wanna give it a try thanks 😊 for the amazing tutorial ❤
Love your videos!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent. I received your beautiful book and can’t wait to study. ❤❤
thank you so much!
Great video, thanks so much for sharing all the information. Loving your book.
Wonderful, thank you!
I just found your channel. I like your projects, beautifully done.
Thank you!
Love these and all the textures!! 😍 Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful work! ❤
Words can’t describe this beautiful work of art. A ring of mountains ! Thank you for taking the time to share. I am very happy to have found your channel. Best wishes to you always. 💛
Omg that is absolutely gorgeous. I'd apply the same technique to a tall cuff bracelet you could do maybe a skylines of different cities. The ideas are endless really. It looks so so incredible. I hope you selling your work for the true value as that is pure talent and technique showed there. I am brand brand new to jewellery making fresh of the boat! I aspire to be able to make one of those some day.
Great idea! I'd love to see the skylines/cities come to life.
@ringgoldnic Just imagine London or Nyc a skyline with lots of many shaped buildings it would indeed be a tall bracelet around 9cm depth I reckon but you could layer and layer possibly even insert a amber bead or something for the eiffel tower light. Or empire state light. So many variations its certainly food for thought isn't it. Even Chicago with all those water ways and you could easily represent the wind with your round burring tool and attempt a blue patina I'm the canal/river part. I'm going to certainly play around with some of these ideas. But because I am super new I am only using copper right now silver too expensive here in UK. How do I join fuse copper to copper? Just plenty flux with a low and slow approach untilvi hit that dark red ? Anyhowbi talk too much if you can offer a idea I'd love to hear. Ps will be coating the piece after too to stop from tarnishing I want my design to remain
@@kirtandrews1859 fusing does not need flux, and the temperature of your torch needs to be hotter than any normal soldering flame. I would encourage you to just play around to understand how hot your torch needs to be.
@ringgoldnic Thank you. Best way to learn I find is hands on. No pressure restraints just go for it. OK fab I like I don't need to use solder jsut yet just to fuse copper to copper. I was thinking possibly tiny rivets maybe if needed
Unusual texturing on the rectangular landscape piece.
I absolutely love this video!!!❤❤❤ your ring, turned out amazing ❤❤❤And I know I’ve asked this question probably on your Instagram site. Where do I buy your book? I have heard nothing but wonderful things about your book. But knowing you as an artist, I wouldn’t expect anything less. Hugs 🤗, Michelle
Wonderful thanks Nicole so informative ❤
This is sooo amazing!!!! ❤️💕 If possible or even when you have the time, could you possibly create a video for beginner silversmith on what Tools are necessary to begin silversmithing? Only if you want to or feel like it!?
Great idea! Will do.
Sorry for the late response!!!! That’s awesome!
A Topographers dream ring!!!!!😊
Thank you! I’m learning this right now)
What an amazing and thorough tutorial. Thank you!!! Quick question: How long do you estimate this project takes from start to finish?
I tend to work very quickly. It took me about 2 hours. But if it's your first time, it might take 4+ hours...
Love, love love this! I'm a small woman with small hands. Do you think this could be done in 24 gauge sheet to reduce the overall thickness of the band?
I would still use 22 for the back plate, but then you can use 24 for the top layers
Lovely ring and the tutorial is so clear ❤️ Thank you so much for showing. One question please how large is this ring, looks like only wearable for people with very long fingers. 3 layers plus moon, for short fingers.. Will it be possible too ? Thank you in advance 🍀
@@miekemanders6598 the size of the ring depends on width and gauge of silver. They can be made in pretty much any size.
Amazing resource, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! May I ask what diameter the cylinder burr is?
It's one of the larger ones in this set: www.riogrande.com/product/lynx-square-cross-cut-burs-set-of-12/348715GP/?code=348715
Thanks a million!! @@ringgoldnic
Great video! What gauge are you using for your base?
22, dead soft sterling
Do you sell your creations,I love the leaf ring,beautiful?!
I do! I have a collection release coming up this Friday at 9am Pacific. Thank you for asking!
Is the cylinder bur a 2mm size. Wonderful video and beautiful rings.
BTW...your book is delicious...
Thank you so much!
Tried with copper today, number seven tip wasn’t enough heat to pool the solder, switched over to the rosebud smelting tip, easier.
@@philippriestman8516 good to know!
This is a question I’ve had for awhile. It looks like the 2nd layer of mountain range is taller than the back layer of mountains in some spots and therefore not flush with metal behind it? Does it slump down to the backplate? What are those parts soldering to? Thanks in advance!
Great question! I should have talked about this as I was creating the demo. Once I soldered the second layer on, I used my nylon mallet to hammer it down so that it became flush with the back plate. Then I ran my torch across the entire piece again so that the solder on the overlapping portions of the mountain flowed between the layers. Does that make sense?
Yes it does! Thank you. I’ve seen so many pieces where I’ve wondered about how they did this very thing! Thanks for clearing that up for me!
