Hey there!
I'm Amy, an artist and designer living in Melbourne, Australia. Welcome to my channel!
Here, I'm all about showing you what goes on behind the scenes of my small home-based art jewellery and DIY business FunkyFunYou. From sketching out designs, to crafting the pieces, to getting them ready for a photo shoot, and packing order etc. I'll take you through it all.
Life's not all about work though. You'll see plenty of life's good stuff here too. I live with my girlfriend, and we've got a whippet named Enke, so expect some fun dog-related and everyday life content.

How do you know what gems can withstand the heat? Is there a specific video or phrase to research when considering a stone for the piece?
My method is a bit old-school-I just bought a bunch and did a lot of testing! There are only a few types of gems that are heat-resistant. For instance, spinel can generally withstand high temperatures. For Cubic Zirconia (CZ) stones, only specific colors are heat-resistant.
That's so pretty ❤❤❤
Thanks :) ❤️❤️
I just looked and your kits are under $100? So I could make one of these cute a** rings for under a hundred dollars???
You totally could! We designed the kits to be affordable so more people can enjoy making their own cute silver rings. You can choose an option to make one or two rings out of one kit.
Can I put a gemstone in it like labradorite ?
🤔 Labradorite might not withstand the high temperatures... but haven't tried yet
Did you try it?
Great video, you make it looks so easy! How do you know which stones are able to take the heat and which ones come in the kit?
Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, figuring out which stones can handle the heat involved a lot of testing-and yes, a bit of trial and error (and money) along the way 😂. The stones included in the kit are all heat-resistant for sure.
I love your videos so much, keep making them pls
I was almost considering giving up on vlogging😂, but seeing your comment has made me to keep going. Truly appreciate your kind words 💕
I loved this, and I love your shop :)
Awww... thank you :) !!
Do you wear a mask when smoothing the ring down? I’ve seen some people say it’s unsafe to breathe in the particles
Absolutely, wearing a mask is crucial when sanding or smoothing down the ring due to the fine particles. Sometimes I get lazy, but it's definitely a safety step I shouldn't skip!!
Don't be discouraged by the critics. Nasty people. They must be people in the jewelry business who don't want us to be able to make jewelry.
Just because we're not perfect at this yet doesn't mean we won't get there eventually. We just have to keep pushing forward! Thanks for the encouragement!
1:06 in my (humble) experience- putting hand cream on, especially oil based, could potentially contaminate your silver and affect the final piece’s porosity. This is just my understanding and I could 100% be wrong… Love the video 😊❤️🔥
Thanks for sharing that tip! I haven’t run into any issues so far, but I’ll definitely keep that in mind. Really appreciate your input, and I'm glad you loved the video! 😊❤️🔥
I saw a product tutorial where they applied olive to the silicon mould to help get the object out, and again for the silver. I assume it would just burn out as it it organic
So cute! Is that resin or enamel inside?
Thanks!! It's enamel :)
Thank you for an amazing tutorial! I'm new to silver clay and this was so helpful as I prep for my first project:)
I'm thrilled to hear you found the tutorial helpful! Best of luck with your first silver clay project 😊✨
so cool ! ^^
Nice 👍
absolutely loved your authenticity and work!! hope you keep doing well <3
Thank you so much for your sweet words 😊 I'll do my best to keep the creativity flowing💖
OMG! Your dog is so cute 😍 I really enjoyed the video, thank U!!! ❤
Thank you so much! 🥰 Glad you enjoyed the video and our furry baby 🐶💖
Dude those machines cost a fortune my cheap ass would be cutting it by hand 😂
Hahahahahha, great point! I'm sure you must have great hand-cutting skills 🤣
@@funkyfunyou8571 no I don’t I’d do all the prep cut it and then throw it all away after k messed it up 😂😂
omg where is the acrylic green grid thing from you use to roll out the clay!! it’s so cute edit: and your creations are very cute also ofc
Awww thanks!! I made that myself using a laser cutter :)
Hi your video is great for me. ^^ I would like to ask is it ok if I do not put the ring in the oven nor use fire gun? Can I just dry it with hairdryer and put it on the gas stove for firing?
Yes, you can definitely use a hairdryer to dry the ring, and use a gas stove for firing. Just ensure the clay is thoroughly dried to prevent any cracking or damage during the firing process :)
che bei colori ,cosa sono per cuocere col calore?
Omggg i finally found your TH-cam channelll i love your TikTok pageee
Haha, thanks a ton! Super glad you found the channel ❤️
It's so cute ❤

Why do you use sandpaper to polish before and after firing
Sanding before and after firing just makes the piece smoother and shinier. Doing it before cuts down on how much you need to sand after it’s fired up.
Hello from the UK, if like in your video the clay breaks, is that it for the clay or can it be reused in anyway?
Hi! Great question! If the clay breaks after firing, unfortunately, it can't be reused for firing again. However, you can definitely recycle the silver material by melting it down and reforming it if you have the right tools and skills. If it breaks before firing, you can just re-wet it, knead it back to a workable consistency, and start over. Hope that helps!
Can you explain heating process and what kind of stove you are using.tx
I'm putting together a detailed video to guide you through the entire heating process. I typically use a stove that can reach high temperatures, suitable for firing silver clay. For stones, I stick with heat-resistant CZ stones to ensure they can withstand the process without damage.
this is great and I like the music <3
If I managed to get an alexandrite stone to set into the silver clay would it get damaged in the baking process? And could i as someone with no jewelry making tools or experience make a ring for my girlfriend with those materials? I find making things myself to be important, especially when gifting something like jewelry to a person. If i were to make it myself what could i get to help me make her the ring of her dreams as an ordinary person without professional tools?
Just do it! Buy plenty of silver clay so you can have a few attempts. Spend £100 on clay and £50 on tools and you can make something great!
Love that you want to DIY a ring for your girlfriend-that’s super thoughtful! About the alexandrite, these stones can be tricky with heat, so it’s best not to bake it in the silver clay. You can totally make a ring without fancy tools, though! Just shape the ring, fire it up (a kitchen torch will do if you don’t have a kiln), and set the stone afterward to avoid any damage.
Woow, love your pottery, All the best with your business ❤

Aw, thanks Kambreigh! ❤️ I'll definitely remember the love and support from you!!
This is sooooo underrated, letting this play for a while 😋
Awww, you're too sweet!!
You live my dream life
Haha, thanks! I should probably share more about the hard parts of running a small biz from home too ;(
Where you buy the earrings finding
I love this video thanks for your time 😍
Where do you find the pattern mold??
I made these screen printing patterns myself :)
I usually wait 3-4 days before firing anything. Setting the kiln to an 04 bisque with a 12 hour warm up works well for me. This makes the firing take about three days. Slow is always best with pottery. There is definitely a learning curve, so be patient with yourself while you figure things out. Good luck!
I waited a whole week 😭 I definitely should try the warm-up method you mentioned. Thanks so much for sharing your process-it’s really helpful!
the moisture trapped in the pots caused them to explode. as water turns from a liquid to a gas due to heat, the molecules expand, which ends up as an explosion (or many many explosions). learning the basic physics and chemistry of clay and ceramics saves a lot of heartache and time in the end!!
Thanks for breaking that down! Really appreciate :)
Look for a particulate filter mask or a respirator for the cleanup of any dried clay or exploded bisque :D I second rynnieroo that this was most likely from moisture still in the pots and a long warm up works great but if you have a firing going already I throw any super thick bottom pots that appear bone dry on top of the kiln that’s heated to 100% make sure it’s dry I work in a studio for beginners and it saves soooo many thicker walled hand built or thrown pieces to either do that or the ramps at a lower temp per hour
Thanks for the great advice! I'll definitely look into getting a filter mask or respirator for the cleanup. Love the tips about using the top of an already heated kiln for those thicker pots!!
Be really careful with the dust made by ceramics. You shouldn’t be breathing it in and neither should your dog.
You're right! I hadn't even thought about that. I’ll make sure to be more careful with the dust, especially around my dog 😭
The pieces probably had some moisture still in them, which is why they exploded. When loading pieces into a kiln, make sure they aren't cold to the touch. You can also do a super long warm-up on the kiln to zap all the moisture out of the pieces.
^ totally! a preheat to your firing will help draw out the moisture that caused these pieces to explode. just make sure to keep the lid cracked open or peeps out (while preheating only) to lessen the damage the moisture will do to the elements in the kiln.
Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely make sure to check for any coldness in the pieces next time and try that long warm-up!!
0:17 I love your mug ! Where did you buy it ?
I got it in Big Design market in Melbourne, I think it's a brand called JDV store ;)
