- Here is a look into a few of the techniques I use to fill add filigree to my pieces. I plan on adding more videos to this series in the future, this week my filming time was cut short due to a personal emergency.

I know this video is a little less in-depth than my usual videos, but I had a personal emergency that pulled me out of the studio for a few days. I'd still love to hear your thoughts! Would you like to see more videos discussing filigree in the future?
I noticed someone made a comment that goes along with my thoughts. I used to make jewelry, but arthritis has taken its toll on my hands. So, making and selling jewelry is not an option for me. However, I have always wanted to know how to make heady-style pendants. I watch your videos to take me "back to the day," just like horseback riding, which I can no longer do. Would you be willing to sell a single tutorial instead of me becoming a Patreon? (this is what another subscriber asked, as well.)
@@mizarrow1 totally understandable! i'm sorry to hear the hands can't create these days, but i hope these videos are at least fun to watch.
that is something i am working on, i just havent figured out the logistics yet. in theory, the tutorials would be released for sale on my website three months behind their release to my patreons. it will be something i put more thought into how it will work a little bit down the road, but for now they are only available to my patrons
@@RaftarkJewelry thank you for answering my question. I'm one who likes to "know" how certain things are done and this style always stumped me. Even though I won't be able to create, I still want to "know." Make sense? Lol Anyway, I'll keep checking to see if/when you've figured out the logistics.
Yes I would love to see more of your work in depth, your videos are awesome. Are you going to be uploading more on a daily/weekly basis? I would love to see more of your videos! Thanks😊
@@godisinfinite6730 oh man, uploading videos on a daily basis would be a real challenge! for now i plan on releasing videos once a week. i'm a full time artist myself so it would be quite tricky to devote so much time to uploading free videos, but i've set aside my monday mornings for filming these videos. there should be a new video every monday or tuesday!
You're work is exquisite. The detailing is out of this world. You make it seem so easy. Plus you have beautiful hands!
Thanks for taking the time to teach! Very cool stuff.
You are one of those very rare natural teachers in life....you make it so easy to follow your instructions. Thank you !!! Ive taken classes, and tutorials before....but your video tutorials totally rock !!!
💟😎
I've been wrapping for three years . I'm addicted
Very beautiful work. I wish I saw the process of how you did this from start to finish. Love the way your presentation is professional. Clear language. Clear voice, etc. nice work!!
I appreciate the fact that you went into the gauges that you prefer and hard vs half-hard for said gauges.. That's always something that I'm wondering about myself... And as always, your work is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for the knowledge and the inspiration... Also, I realize this video is from 2019, but I hope the emergency wasn't anything too serious. Sending Love and Light. 💕✨
this kind of generosity springs from true creativity. you must have a million ideas if you are willing to show us how you do it. your work is beautiful, no doubt your heart also.... may you live with beauty, peace and happiness in all your days xoxoxo
PS. I hope your personal emergency has been sorted. I hope everyone is safe
Gorgeous! Thank You For Posting.
I just wanna say your voice is so clear and calming
Thank You So MUCH, for this video. I have been trying to learn this type of wrap, for SO long. No one seemed willing to share even the basics, unless you paid for it. Love your work! :)
I love it! Thank you so much for the tutorials. Just started learning how to make jewelry with wire about 6 months ago and you have some of the best tutorials I've seen yet
Thanks for sharing your technique.
that's a beautiful design. ❤
Very beautiful work! Love it!
Thank you for this video.I really like the look of the wire-it doesn't look contrived.Hope to learn some more.Thank you!
One of the best in the craft! Love your work my guys
appreciate you showing us this technique!, your work is beautiful
I look forward to your videos. They create a lot of those "Now I get it!" moments for me! Thanks for the inspiration. I also hope your personal emergency was too bad!
Sheryl Pavlacka thank you! I wasn’t quite sure about this one, I know it’s a little less in depth than my usual videos. I’m excited to hear it was still helpful!
I will be back in action for next week’s video!
@@RaftarkJewelry I was unsure how to attach wires when building on the frame. Your video helped answer that question. I can't wait for the next one!
Beautifully done. You rock!
Rita cheers! Thanks for watching 😊
Beautiful and just my kind of style , thank you. J.
Very insightful. Thank you.
Its ok I found it thanks. It’s a shame it is 25 a month. I would be happy to pay for one tute at 25 but as a single mum I cannot commit to 25 every single month. Such a shame I love what you are doing. Good luck, Nikki
Nicola Kim totally understandable! The idea with my patreon is to put out new start to finish tutorials every month, but I may have those tutorials for sale on my website individually in the future. In the meantime I will always have new free videos on this channel that I hope will continue to be helpful!
@@RaftarkJewelry hi,thank you for your reply. I totally understand you. I would love a complete tute, but understand as artists we must value our work and make a living of course!! I will certainly buy one when/if you sell one off tutorial. In the meantime I will enjoy and appreciate your videos. they are very inspiring, thank you
Love it much
Raftark Jewelry I’d be interested in a tutorial for sale as well. Beautiful work, and wonderful teaching. So glad I found you.
That was one of the best tutorials I've watched. thanks. :-)
YES!!! This is what I needed to connect the dots. You are my hero!!
Awesome!! That I what I love to hear!
I truly enjoy your tutorials!!! There’s a style that’s similar to this where it’s swirly all over and uses a frame and people usually do them in copper then liver of sulfur...I’m desperately trying to find an in depth tutorial on that and I believe it must be called a filigree style like you mentioned. If you would be so kind to show that kind (not sure if my description honestly helps you to know exactly which kind I’m talking about😂) I would be so grateful! I do all sorts of fun styles and am getting better but would love to learn how to get those wavy swirls onto a frame and have it look smooth and seem less! Thank you so much!
I just joined Patreon!!! I can wait to get started!
Wow!!! As always amazing!
Barbara G cheers! Thanks for watching 😊
I love your work, I've been wanting to learn these techniques for awhile thank you for your informative video, youllbe hearing more from me!!!❤
Awesome. Just awesome👍
Beautiful!
Wow.... Wow.... (!) I just found you & just watched this video as my first introduction to your AMAZING skill !! 😃😃😃
🦋🦋🦋 Thank you soooo much for sharing! ~~~~ I’ve also been interested in traditional metal engraving but never thought that “feel” or visual beauty could be done with wire -- oooo! This is so cool!
So very happy to have found your video! I’ve studied art history & jewelry & have never seen anything quite like this.
You have skill, sir!
Thank you SO much for adding this beauty to the world!
❤️🐿🐿🐿
Just gorgeous!
Fantastic tips and tricks!! Cheers!
Caroline Jobling cheers! Thanks for watching :)
@@RaftarkJewelry Being a beginning artist in this, do you have another way to sell your tutorials? Patreon memberships aren't in my budget, but I do want to learn! Thanks
Thank You!! I love your videos, I learn something from every one. Keep up the excellent work ❤
That is super encouraging to hear! i'm happy to help!
Thank you for this video.
Wow I have been wire wrapping for about a year now, but this is like level 9000. Amazing work. I just subscribes and know I will love this channel
Thank you! i have been loving making these videos. I hope they continue to be helpful!
Hello, i want to start off by saying you do beautiful work!!! My father is an artist of many things. For a few years he got into wire wrapping. I watched him and friends do all sorts of different wraps. I just started to make wire trees and pendants. I hope one day to be as good as you. I've watched alot of videos on wire wrapping and your is my favorite. I love your technique!!! I haven't been able to watch a full video and make any attempts yet. Have to finish a couple projects first. But i can't wait to learn!!! Thank you so much for taken the time to show everyone. I know a few people that are not willing to show how to do their technique. Fyi yes i will be having my dad show me his too.
Wanted to let you know all your jewelry is amazing, but your double finger ring is so unique and such a stunner!!
Kathy Kaltz thank you Kathy!! I really appreciate it, I love having the opportunity to create what I do :)
I would love to see more videos on your youtube buddy, I just found your channel and I am trying to learn more about how to make wire jewelry, it's hard but channels like yours help people like me tremendously. Really appreciate your video's, thank you very much bro!
Cheers! these have been a lot of fun to work on! i plan of releasing one video a week for now. in the future i may be able to increase that, but for now its about all i can fit into my work schedule (i'm a full time artist myself). I hope they continue to be helpful, thanks for checking out my channel!
@@RaftarkJewelry Thats great!😀 They are very helpful and I I will be looking forward to them! Thanks Raftark!
Mind blown. Hallelujah !
awesome! i'm excited to hear how it goes in your pieces :)
….💙Thank You For Sharing This ~ It Looks Like A Stone Caught In A Splash Of Water ~ So Besutiful💙🙏🏻….
I have never even considered joining a patron page..until now. And I find myself getting upset I can't make it happen.. I honestly can't wait to join and leatn..
New subscriber hear.. Very nice piece!
Cheers! thank you!
Beautiful ❤️ ❤️
Thank you! 😊
Inspirational as usual! Do you typically start your 'flow' from the wires that form the bail and then build from that? Love the content, will check out your patron soon 🙂
Richard John exactly! For me the bail is an easy place to start from. I can use one longer wire of whatever shape/size I prefer and weave it around the frame to establish the ‘stream’ of the piece. From there it’s all in the details!
I love this you have cleared up so many things for me , to do work like yours are goals for me thank you for sharing this is awesome.
Thank you Sandi! i really appreciate the encouragement, im glad i could help with these videos!
I lovevthe videos! Wonder why I don't see much of the back and how it should look?
