Great! Thanks for watching!
I am a stained glass artist, have done it for 25 plus years and just when I thought I couldn't learn anything new I came across your video's! I love this technique and will be experimenting with it, so clever using the rubber stamps! Well done, instructions are precise and clear. Thank you for sharing!!

same here. The last partly new technique with stamps was like 10 years ago. And I know all about stamps! But this is new... its like adrenalin and happyness at once, I love this idea!
Like Linda Lombardo I am stunned... I work in the craft industry for many years and I am focused on all stamping techniques. I DID something similar with seal wax and with embossing powder, but would NEVER have thought oif this!!! Oh, and I havent seen a new stamping technique for like 10 years and thought I never will. You made my day!!! I will definetely try this and make german videos about it, and send them here where the I saw the technique first. Thank you!!!

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I'm looking forward to trying this. I have stamped solder that I floated onto a flattened spoon bowl and used the top of a red rubber tree stamp. It looked so much like what tooled leather looks like. It was beautiful. Looking forward to seeing how you use these.

Love the look of this tech. Haven't tried it yet, but I think it may be easier if done on a heat resistant baking sheet (aka non-stick craft sheet). Wouldn't stick to the paper it's on top of or get the woodgrain on the back side. Anxious to give this technique a try (after we get moved & I unpack). TFS!

I'm not a fan of those non-stick mats...I've tried them (and actually I think I used one in one of my DVD workshops) and they just aren't my thing! I guess it just comes down to personal preference. Whatever works!
You can use any type of torch for this as well, but for a small project such as this it's kind of overkill unless you are heating a large surface area. A higher watt soldering is perfect for the job. I'll talk about that a bit in my next video.
Those are beautiful reminds me of art nouveau
I came across your blog and book several years ago and tried stamp soldering using some borrowed stamps, a torch and some random solder kit. Most of my trials flopped but I vowed to try my hand at it again once I bought a soldering rod. Just a week back I thought of finally buying a soldering iron to make some glass pendants and was wondering if I need another tool. Coincidently you posted this video. Thank you for the inspiration as it once again opens up possibilities.

Yes you really just need a soldering iron (buy a high watt one, 80 or 100 watts, not of very low $20 40 watt ones), lead free solder - roll solder works great, as I use in the video, and flux.

@@LauraBethLove Thanks Laura. I bought a 75Watt iron and paste flux as that is what is available to me locally and tried it. I could stamp solder easily but however hard I try I am not able to get the solder to glide on the wire like you show. The solder melts on touch of iron but when I put it on the wire, it just globs up. I tinned the tip before I started and cleaned with a wet sponge in between but now it looks black and crusty. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks

@@JewelsofSayuri What kind of wire are you using? Try cleaning the wire like I demonstrate in the video. Some craft wires that you buy are coated with kind of a sealant or thin coating of plastic so make sure your wire is not coated. Do you have my book Boho Chic Jewelry? That has lots of information on soldering and I would start there if you haven’t read it.

You should get some emery cloth to tackle sharp edges. It's like a fine sand paper on a thick cloth backing, instead of paper, that you can easily tear to whatever size you want to work with. I find it much easier to work with & longer lasting than cheap emery boards/nail files. You can get it in sheets or rolls of it, which work out far cheaper than even your dollar store buys for what you actually get.

Hello. Thanks for you videos. What do you call this process or technique?
I learned so many things and am so inspired by your art. I tried this rubber stamp technique and the solder melted the stamp. I can't find information about what temperature is appropriate.

Laura, what is the best temp to set the rheostat? Do you just experiment until you find the best temp to allow the imprint? Also, I am from PA and made many trips up to Warner Crivallero near Bethlehem. I knew Mr Crivallero who had a cheese company there as well. He sold me my first light box for glass cutting. It now is Warner Glass. I lived in Chester Springs, in Chester County. Best Regards. Louise Del Negro

Can you do decorative soft soldering onto a 925 ring? I've seen designs that I just can't work out if it's soft wax shapes on hard wax or soft soldering. Secondly could you get this same effect buy directly melty silver wire?
@LauraBethLove
10 ай бұрын
low temp and high temp solders and material are two very different beasts - you can do soft solder on sterling but not vice-versa and the joint or repair would not be stable...the soft solder would contaminate the sterling, it would no longer be called sterling silver due to the soft solder: I would keep them separate!

I am curious as to what temperature on the soldering iron I should use. Mine is only a 60 watt iron, I hope this works, but at least you can set the temperature, thoughts? Also I am seeing solder come in all types of guages, temperature melts. Does the temperature melt of the solder dictate temperature setting on the iron? If so,, what do I need to know about that? Thank you! ; - )

Yes - if you are new to low-temp soldering you should check out my book Boho Chic Jewelry, as I explain a lot in detail there. But yes, it has all to do with the the metals and their melting points. Low-temp soldering is for metals that melt at a lower temp, some people call it soft soldering but I prefer the term low-temp. You can try the iron with lead-free solder but you may need at least an 80 watt, again it depends on the solder. Good luck!

I just watched your video, never seen any thing like this. I have started an ebay store in May, I am interested in making pieces, but I was wondering, several years ago I purchased a wood burning kit, never used it. Is that something I could use to make these projects? I guess I need to locate it and give you specs on it or if you could tell me wattage then I could look on mine to see if it is similar.....Am I being a pain? Shoot!

Hi Dianne, I have links to what you need in the description below the video! They have to be vulcanized rubber stamps which are commonly the older red type.
I just tried lead free solder for the first time and I have questions! I'm getting a sticky brown residue on stuff. Is it the flux? I don't have that problem with 60/40 or 50/50. Is it trash in the solder? I'm using bead landing brand. It also fouls my tip. What's going on? Also it smokes like CRAZY!
