Can a Bird Skull become a Pendant? | Electroforming
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 янв 2022
- I had this bird Skull laying down somewhere in my lab for maybe 2 years. I finally decided to do something with it, hoping it was going to become something cool.
I called this project “The Resurrected Bird” because it was an unfinished (dead) project.
When I found the skull, it was half covered with copper and conductive paint. It remembered me those times when I was not very good at electroforming, struggling to find the right mix for Conductive Paint and the way to adjust Electroforming Solution.
Then I choose an Amethyst crystal to make it cool and a pair of feathers to give it wings and get it ready to fly again.
If something seems missing, or it's not very clear to you, there will be more explanations in my blogs.

CuForming is a project of passion born from our love for both science and crafting.
Since 2018, we've been exploring the fascinating world of electroforming, where we merge the wonders of electrochemistry with geology, botany, zoology and the artistry of crafting.
Copper, with its versatility and beauty, is our favorite material to work with, and our designs are inspired by the intricate textures found in nature.
Through experimentation with chemicals, various materials, and the electroforming process, we create unique pieces that celebrate the intersection of science and art.
With inherited skills in electrical engineering, painting, sculpting and materials assembly, and the curiosity about new technologies such as 3D printing, CuForming is where science meets creativity.

Thanks to all my subscribers!!!💞💞
Oh.my.god. I've just found this channel completely by accident while lookign for info on silver playing and this is just amazing.. plating a FEATHER. I can think of so many things to do this with
Thank you for this comment. You can actually electroform anything you want, it can be apply to a lot of objects and materials.
Very cool
Thanks
After 2 years this little bird finally had its glory. Hope everyone of you like it. Sadly, this bird is not gonna fly anymore, but our imagination can always do. Anyway I'm very happy with the result.
I love the result, amazing work! May I ask how you prepared the bird skull? I've electroformed all kinds of organics but for some reason I'm afraid the bath will destroy bone/horn, which also would contaminate the bath.
I have a similar skull here but it is the only one I was able to find so far and am scared to ruin it.
@@s.v.6830 Thank you for your comment!!! And YES!!! The bath will destroy bones and horns. You need to protect them with some sort of plastic material. The one easy to find is nail polish. You can use solvent base varnish or flatting, resin of any kind. Just don't use water base products. My conductive paint is solvent base. I just dip any organic in it directly so I don't need to protect them.
@@cuforming Thank you so much for clearing that up! I'll try to prepare/mazerate some chicken bones and try your method/tips on those, before I dare to put the skull in, though haha
Looking forward to seeing more of your works!
@@s.v.6830 also if you don't want to cover part of the bone/horn with copper, liquid latex is commonly used for that purpose. I use it in this video to cover lapis lazuli... check it out: ruclips.net/video/uvdQhZ98fxM/видео.html

Grazie per tutto!!
fascinating!
Thank you!!! Love the comment!!!
@@cuforming you inspired me to track down and buy a pen electroplater (a mini brush). I had no idea they existed and I've been making things for years! Thank you so much for your channel.
@@clairestrickland5140 I got super happy when someone tells me that I inspired to make something. It has no price. In this case, you also are inspiring me somehow, because I've never done brush plating and I think I gonna try it. Thank you!!!🥰🥰🥰
@@cuforming oh of course! I saw your channel, got inspired, found a scientist guy on RUclips who brush plated. Googled, found 2 suppliers in the UK! I'll find the links for you 😊
@@clairestrickland5140 yes please. Share all those links, also the scientist guy one. I'm very curious!
Very nice bro! How did you make your conductive paint?
Hey, you should check this video I made!!!
Molto carino complimenti
Grazie!
pretty cool process !!! do you put anything on the gemstone to protect it from the solution ?
Thanks!!! I usually put nail polish or liquid latex, it depends on the kind of stone!
Sei bravissimo ti seguo con piacere
Grazie!!! Sono molto contento che ti piaccia!
ME encanto❤❤❤
Muchas Gracias!!!🥰🥰🥰
Olá boa noite, poderia de dizer qual tipo de tinta condutiva, aqui no Brasil usamos solvente com purpurina ouro. Gratidão
Eu uso solvente com grafite. A purpurina ouro é condutora?

Io l'ho fatto in cartoncino, per il mio cosplay di Felix Iskandar Escellun... Ma devo dire che non rende allo stesso modo. 😅
Ti ringrazio per questo commento. Scusa la mia ignoranza ma non conosco il personaggio di cui parli. Purtroppo per questo video non ho avuto una modella e, dopo aver visto il tuo canale, penso che saresti stata perfetta per indossare un gioiello di questo genere.
Ho appena visto un'immagine di Felix e devo dire che l'arrangiamento è stato del tutto casuale. Si somigliano molto. Cmq se hai qualche progetto nel baule, posso elettroformare anche il cartoncino. Ciao
Non ho progetti... Potrei farti vedere il disegno. Ma quanto ti dovrei, per un lavoro così accurato?
Quanto alla faccenda "modella", grazie per il complimento. 😊
@@EricaGazzoldiLePortedeiSogni ti ho lasciato un dm su fb
