Electroforming a praying mantis tips and tricks
This is a “how to” guide for electroforming a praying mantis. These were real praying mantises that were lovingly raised and had a long life. They died of old age, and were donated to me to memorialize. Before I started shooting this video, I had pinned and dried them. (There are searchable videos on how to do this). The above procedure would be how I would approach electroforming any bug. Hope it helps, and please like and subscribe if you like my videos.

Part 3:3 Electroforming acorns: patina techniques and results
มุมมอง 2.6K4 ปีที่แล้ว
this is a VERY long video, but I wanted to show the different patina techniques I utilized in changing the colour of the acorns to create 6 different wine charm looks. For those of you die hard electroformers, I hope some techniques help. For those who cant get through 45 minutes of video (I don't blame you) : below is a time stamp with each technique if you are familiar with it and want to ski...

This goes over the steps required to make something like a hornet/ piece of hive jewelry worthy. here the hornets are modified and placed on hives for their final coat of copper. shows Bonding techniques, modifying imperfections.
Scavenging a large hornet nest
มุมมอง 1914 ปีที่แล้ว
Ever wonder where electroformers get their subjects? Most of us practice ethical scavenging- organics are found in nature after the creature has already expired. This is me attempting to find some hornets to electroform, from an abandoned bald faced hornet nest. If you like this video, please like or follow me on Instagram at @rareearthdesigns Thanks!
Preparing hornets for electroforming
มุมมอง 1.7K4 ปีที่แล้ว
This video shows me getting hornets (I call them wasps interchangeably, but they are actually bald faced hornets, to be specific) prepped for electroforming. These will eventually be turned into necklaces.

procreate speed paint character
มุมมอง 1059 ปีที่แล้ว
This is my first real attempt at learning how to shade using procreate and a layering system. I'm happy with it for a first try, though it isn't perfect. If you are interested in following my learning process, check out my blog at memoirsofanillustrator.blogspot.ca
Procreate speed paint
มุมมอง 309 ปีที่แล้ว
So still considering i/m a beginner, this is an improvement. this is my second galaxy drawing, after familiarizing myself with the techniques in the first one, which isn't worth publishing a sppedpaint over, since its really terrible. if you want to see the initial one, go to my blog at memoirsofanillustrator.blogspot.com where I have given myself one year to figure out how to draw, learn the n...
this is my first attempt doing anything on procreate.
มุมมอง 299 ปีที่แล้ว
and its really terrible. Its all very poorly done, with horrible backgrounds and really bad payer management. Considering i haven't drawn anything in 20 years plus, though, I guess its a good first try. Follow me as I go through the learning process of trying to learn how to draw and color on a computer media- with my ultimate goal- to illustrate and publish a children's book within a year. Che...

Hi do you know if you can water down conducive paint to use in a dipping manner like you have done?
Hello. Good video. Your jewelry has a good shine. Piease tell me, do you use electroforming Brightener?
Does your conductive paint from Jason have sealer in it?
Bad quality video
How can you remove the copper wire ????
Hi....! This is very curious to me...! Am searching for long back...., no body is teaching me..., is their any tutorial or learning video...? I want learn this....! Thank you for sharing the video....!
Good afternoon where can i buy the paint you use?
What are your settings for the rectier?
I thought Jason had concern about the solvent in the paint dissolving crazy glue, but I guess you're showing that it doesn't. ?
Why have you not made more videos ? Your videos are great
aw thank you! covid has messed up my ability to do home electroforming right now, but i'm hoping to start doing more this fall. your feedback is appreciated :)
@@rareearthdesignselectrofor6126 Sorry to hear that I got Covid from my mom as a Christmas gift lol Wish I could have returned it to the store lol
Thanks for sharing the video! What amp setting were these electro formed with? Did you keep it consistent or gradually up it?
Hi Thomas, I always increase my amps as the plate spreads over my piece. the way my bath is set up, if I go over about .4 volts, my amperage is too high, so i depend on that to tell me how my piece is doing. there are calculations that I can go over in another video, but that is usually my go- to calculation.
Pleace could you tell how to prepare Borax solution?
that music scared the hell out of me!

What's the formula for your bath? I do h2so4 and hcl with polyethylene. What do you use and proportions? Results seem to be the same, but yours seem a bit beighter? Also do you do this in your house? Is it safe?
do you apply a clear coat after plating?
You can, but I don't. I prefer to watch the patina age
Where can we find the recipe/purchase link for the Jason Welsh conductive paint?
Please don't make you videos for Facebook. Edit to be clear, no top and bottom borders. I watch these video to see what you are doing not guess what you are doing on 1\4 of my screen.
thank you- I wasn't aware that was happening when I made the video, and I agree with you. Ill change it for future vids:)
Next electroform your dog
Awesome
Good day!) What kind of brightener do you use in the solution? What kind of conductive paint do you have?
I'm having trouble getting mine to be totally solid. It keeps coming out kind of crumbly.
I haven't been able to get my copper to return to a solid ☹️
What are you sitting your rectifier to for what size of bath?
Are you using jason Welsh's battery acid electrosolution recipe? Do you use any protective gear?
If I took a shot every time she said um or ah, I'd be drunk 7 minutes into the video.

Thanks for the video!
the ones with the many colours are gorgeous!
I have an unusual project coming up I could use some advice on. How can I reach you off of here? I'm willing to pay you for your expertise!!!
No problem, you can contact me at tguthrie@shaw.ca
You may want to try this with you copper pieces th-cam.com/video/bhus7L3cNrE/w-d-xo.html
Put the loop on a nail and put the lose ends in a drill And pull the trigger slowly and it will twist the wire
Are those poison ivy leafs ? And if so how do you deal with it’s oil ?
I put the ends into a drill and they twist evenly.
Beautiful work! I am about to start trying this. Thanks for your information.
Did you sell them all? Haven’t seen them posted.
Love this video! Is the Jason Walsh solution still available? I could not find a link - thank you :)

Great video = Thanks for sharing, ... Love the way your parts are coming out with such a bright copper, what's your secret on this? ... Is your copper solution made up or purchased with brighteners?
Dave 24v thanks! To be honest, I am not sure- it may have been the ambient temperature in the room- Bit the eforming solution has also been running 24/7 for about 8 months, when this was done. The first few weeks the solution wasn’t giving me shiny, but it started doing so, and has been ever since- until recently- I’ve made and mixed new solution and it’s again not giving me shiny. I’m hoping a few weeks from now I’ll get my shiny back.
My solution is homemade, and I use commercial brighteners
@@rareearthdesignselectrofor6126 .... Thanks for your reply, I am using Jason Welsh's formula's including the conductive paint like you are. He has a homemade brightner on his page for purchase so will be trying that out this week when it arrives. I just refuse to buy brighteners as I'm into chemistry and prefer to make my own.
Dave 24v I’ve been adding propylene glycol to mine along with commercial brightener and it makes a really strong smooth plate. My bath in my colder room is now making a satiny strong plate that polishes up Perfectly shiny in seconds, so it’s likely starting to equalize. An electro polishing solution is cheap and can be used instead, but it’s another step, that sometimes I just don’t have time for, so I’m content with the commercial one for now ;)
This was a great video with lots of good information! Thank you so much! Can we have that link for the solution you were talking about??
Michael Garcia yes sorry! Glad it helped you! www.firstdensitymaterial.com/collections/recipes-for-electroforming/products/fast-drying-conductive-paint-formula

I gotta find your vid on how you coated it with mag. Paint. Ty ty
Hi there fb family. Glad you posted this so i can get better.
Hope it helps :)
Why do you freeze the acorns?
Leila West they were gathered in the late summer, and I didn’t have time to process them until now- they would have dried out if I didn’t freeze them
Very good video. Appreciate it
thanks for watching :) hope it helps
Your videos are wonderful! Thank you. I just took my first electroforming class, and I am primarily interested in organics. This was so helpful - please keep getting "distracted" with explaining the results :) Do you teach any courses online or in person?
Thank you! I believe you are my first ever commenter *YAY*! I haven't taught (electroforming) yet, mostly I'm just bumbling along and figuring it out... but i'm a hands on learner: I know that a lot of people are like me and learn really well in video format... I've been helped by people on youtube, so I am trying to pass it on :) plus, sometimes it seems like people make things so complicated :P
