Great vid!!! Do you provide a tutorial on best practices when firing sterling silver components embedded in fine silver clay?

It is a stunning book. Really interesting interview.

We never get to see her make anything. Disappointing.

Looking forward to seeing your journey Kelly!!

Great podcast, enjoyed watching ❤

Brilliant podcast Kelly, very excited for you, can’t wait to see where this takes you! 😊xx

This was inspirational. I am a bookbinder who is planning on doing some metalwork for my books and am transitioning to be more eco-centred and ethical, such as recycled paper and not using any plastic beads in my jewellery so it was an interesting video to see how someone else is transitioning to become more fully ethical.

Nicole (about "can you ruin metal?"): "No!" 👏 👏👏 Make ingots, and you will GROW! Alloy your own sterling, you will grow! Do it, do IT! ❤

Ok, me again. I have a question for Nicole about the whole mass thing. I've learned over the years that you CAN succeed over mass heating. I find that if I go in hot and fast, and don't burn up the flux by longer lower heat (fear), using a higher heat braising flux called Stay-Silv, heat will transfer locally and flow solder. Any thoughts? There is a school of thought that diverges from the "heat the whole thing" technique. I'm digging into that.....

Wait! Rio Grande is wholesale? When?

"Set myself apart from the masses". I actually thought she said (and I totally agreed), "set myself apart from the MESSES." Wow, so true, both. This is how, as an artist, you set yourself apart; learn (for more than a couple minutes), practice and do GOOD fabrication. No slop, or as Lexie Erickson says, "Don't show me shoddy work, and call it 'rustic.'" Love what Nicole has done, and is doing. About the best possible model for your daughter, don't worry, she'll go the other way and won't even know you for at least 50 years. Sigh...those rascally independent thinkers, dang! Gotta love em!

Congratulations!!! It can be stressful to apply to better shows!!I cant wait to see your episode.

Absolutely inspiring! Thanks for sharing your experience with us, Nicole.

Love this!

Love this! Before making jewelry I made wreaths so when I moved into jewelry I wanted so badly to make everything with bows. I was able to make them with wirewrapping (credit goes to Kelly jones on that one) but I haven’t quite done it with metal smithing 😊

Can’t wait!

Nominative determinism… I would be very interested in a CZcams tutorial on using heat-sinks. How to avoid firescale when melting and reticulating? Fascinated by the fine silver puddling. I wonder if you could use that to create a flatter surface on top of the Sterling balling. Gonna find out!

Fabulous interview with two fabulously talented artists!! I am so looking forward to receiving my copy of your book Nicole!

Such a fantastic interview, I can totally relate to both of these artists . Already have ordered my book and love Nicoles tutorials on her website as well as the wonderful she offers on her CZcams channel. In fact I have posted my journey with the CZcams tutorials on my facebook. I have followed Nicole for years she is one of my favorite artists. I would love to take a class with her in person

Thank you for this interesting conversation about gems, ladies. It was intriguing to see how a gemologist thinks about using stones - starting with the end in mind. Also interesting to hear some industry-specific information that may not be entirely public knowledge - good to look out for.

Hi from Houcine from Morocco

I loved the podcast, Jess and Emily. I loved what you said about finding a niche, imposter syndrome, and that you don't have to sell all over the world but just get known in your own area. Very helpful topics on creating a viable jewelry business.

Great interview Michelle and Nicole! Already have my book on preorder and can't wait for April! Taking a class with Nicole has been on my bucket list.

I love that you guys made a podcast channel here! Absolutely brilliant
