Greetings Mr. Cooper. First, your videos are never to long. Your demonstrations have proven to be most helpful. Still have not been able to acheive some of the looks you have shown. I came to realize that if you start with Let's Resin all of the products used should be Let's Resin also. So I keep trying. Thank you for what you do.
I have watched Oxana, she's brilliant with wire wrapping. I have tried it myself, wrapping dragon eyes. Some success. This tutorial is excellent 👌 thanks
I feel for you...I have issues with brain fog and I often need to go back and watch a video a second time...just to make sure I got everything right. I have a lot of health issues, so yeah, sometimes I do lose my train of thought. Your pendant turned out awesome...and I LOVE that bail! Thanks for another cool video❗💙
I just watched a short yesterday where a rock hunter chiseled a perfect egg shaped, palm sized piece of amber out of the ground. Right next to that was a larger egg shaped iridescent labradorite. They were both beautiful. Your amber turned out great and so did the wire wrap. I’m sorry to hear about your friend Daniel.❤
Ah, Daniel, I am so sorry to hear of your colleague and friend's passing! The loss of a friend is a hard blow. Your "amber" turned out amazing! Amber is one of my very favorite substances. 💕 Please feel free to make long videos! I like them. 😊 I hate having long nails (I keep mine super short, too), but they do come in handy! Brain fog - ugh! Have it, hate it! Great wrapping job, Daniel -- you *should* be super happy with how it all turned out! I would wear that HAPPILY (& I don't even wear jewelry!).
Hi Daniel, been a sùbscriber for ages . Had a comment on this one video , you did so well love the fake amber stone plus wire work. Finished product is great!!!!!
I think it’s cool that you used the bug! I collect skulls & skeletons, so when my husband found a partial rat skeleton in our garage I put it in resin! Everyone who sees it thinks it’s fascinating 😊. Art is what you make it!
I loved the Amber Stone and am intrigued with your wire wrap but the thing that stands out the most is you searched the house for a dead bug. You are definitely dedicated to your craft.
Just finished watching your video, your jewellery is so pretty and the work you put into it is awesome. Praying for prosperity for your Channel. I like to watch your videos while I'm working on mine. 👍👍👍
The resin “amber” turned out amazingly and your wrapping is amazing. Oxanacrafts was my first ever TH-cam channel i watched when i started wire wrapping 5 years ago.
I love to watch your whole video. I also try to let the ads run their length. At least I do when they are 30 seconds😂. This is another awesome video. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. ❤❤❤
I'll definitely give this a go. It's very convincing. I wire wrap and weave and I agree its very theraputic. Terribly sad about Mark. He was a talented guy and so creative with the stories he told to give his pieces life. I'll miss him.
The amber with the bug in it is really cool! I love the wire wrapping too! I would really like to learn how to do that so I can turn some of my resin pieces into pendants.
Good evening young man! I have to tell ya... When I work with resin or polymer clay and I make things that mimic or look genuine, I will let someone look at the piece, touch it and guess what is made of. The look on their faces when they are told what I actually use and how I did it to create and resemble the real deal, priceless! I can't believe someone wouldn't disclose that. I mean I would think the piece would be worth more because of the work out into it vs just buying the real deal bits. Besides that it shows that the person creating such beauty must really know what they are doing to make something that looks so authentic and real. I take more pride in my work when I can recreate something, make it look like the real deal, and I didn't buy something that someone else dug up out of mother nature and then sell as their own. But I will say, I love your work! You are a true artist!
Ugh… TH-cam removed my notifications from EVERY SINGLE CHANNEL I am subscribed to! … I had to go through all of them to reset notifications… This was such a cool piece! I have been playing with wire wrapping for a few weeks now… I got the tools for it last spring but never really mess with it… it is really fun but also tedious… I’m such a perfectionist and that can be both a blessing and a curse when it comes to wrapping stones… you did a very nice job of it Daniel!
that finished piece is just stunning. i love how you've taken a material that's so...rustic(?) and turned it into something so elegant. you are taking me down a very deep jewelry making rabbit hole. :D
Beautiful piece of art, wire wrapped is perfect for this piece. I love the bug and leaves it’s such a nice effect. ❤ I’m in Arizona USA we have some of the most amazing bugs, 🦂 🕷 🐝 etc. I wish I could send you a few. 😊 Especially a wasp called tarantula hawk wasp, their wings and body are iridescent. Daniel If you are going to take the time to put the video together for us, I’m going to reciprocate in kind. I have a sister and a couple of friends who create videos and understand all hard work work and time it takes to produce them. ❤ I’m sorry for the loss of your friend. 🙏♥️
Thanks Maddie, wow, I wish I could go forraging for bugs like those (obviously ones which aren't alive 😂) You could make some great art with those! Yes, some videos can take a lot of work, especially if they take a few attempts to get right 😂🤣
@@fairyspunfibers9098 very fascinating and wicked. They say if a human is stung it’s like fire and electric shock, I’ve never met anyone who has been stung by THW.. in my area we have an abundance of Tarantulas, on occasion I’ve seen the THW out looking for prey, they are impressive in color.
That is sweet!! I want to start wire wrapping. I a lot of different colors of wire spools. I looked up the website you mentioned too. Good info on her channel.
This falls into my fascination of gem stones and one of my other interests. Paleoanthropology, early hominid occupation of Europe, Eastern Asia, Neanderthals. Amber is found in many grave sites.
I will admit that I have been toying with trying to make fake amber using resin but not the UV type. I also hope to try to make other types of gem stone as well such as amethyst. I don't suppose you fancy trying to do that next. My idea so far is to try swirling opaque purples through translucent purples but I'm not sure if that will fully work.
I really enjoyed this video- every second! Have you ever poured amber swirl into a one piece cut mold or a two piece mold? If so, how did you prevent colors from bleeding into each other reducing the swirl effect? 🙏🙏
I bought some wire and still have not used it. Just looks too hard for me, which I do not say very often. I just need to try it the first time, then maybe I would have no reservations. I wonder if a small amount of the coffee color ink would make a good Amber color. Thank you again for sharing.
@neesr 13 No, it doesn't seem to, BUT...to my way of thinking, sunlight degrades ALL things, eventually. That said, silicone doesn't last forever anyway. Daniel has used this particular mold *forever* and VERY frequently, so it's had a long, useful life! I have the same mold and I just love it. You can use silicone spray mold release before & after each use to extend the mold life. Store it n plastic, then in bins, to prevent scratches. Isopropyl alcohol can eventually degrade silicone, but often that's the only thing that removes bubbles, so... yeah.
How can you notice between real and resin amber? I know you can answer this because you put uv reactive resin, so it will pass in uv test. I want to buy a real amber and i want to know how to recognize the real and fake one. Please help. Thank you so much.
Love you're work, but hate that in NI most if not all on your shopfront is unshippable to me. Cannot get white sinker, or any of the wire used in this project. I follow you on tiktok, and here. Amazing work ❤

Love this piece, also love wire wrapping. Mark Hargreaves was a big inspiration. I absolutely loved his work such a sad loss.
I think it’s cool that you used the bug! I collect skulls & skeletons, so when my husband found a partial rat skeleton in our garage I put it in resin! Everyone who sees it thinks it’s fascinating 😊. Art is what you make it!
I love how you went and found a dead bug for this! ❤

Thanks Yvonne 😊 That means a lot 🥰
This is something I've always wanted to know how to do. THANK YOU.🐾🐾🥰🥰🌟🌟
Magnifique Daniel, toujours plus beau .. J'adore ❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
This is so clever and love your wire wrapping. ❤❤❤❤. Oxana craft does beautiful wire wrapping.
The resin “amber” turned out amazingly and your wrapping is amazing. Oxanacrafts was my first ever TH-cam channel i watched when i started wire wrapping 5 years ago.
Thanks Daphne, her vids are so easy to follow 😊 I want to try them all 😂
@@daniel..cooper you’re very welcome.
Wow Daniel, you have taken this are to a whole new level. this piece is just stunning!
Thank you so much 😃
I have been pulling the wings off of dead cicadas to encase in resin-LOL. Yes, as you said "a little gross," but we are giving them new life in art!
Beautiful! Love your work, and thanks for sharing so often!❤
I LOVE amber and you did a magnificent job!
I thourouhly enjoy your videos Daniel. I have learned so much. Keep them coming.
Thanks Lee 😊

Great job on this piece. Doing wire sure takes some patience.
Luv this, especially the loopty lou in the front
I'll definitely give this a go. It's very convincing. I wire wrap and weave and I agree its very theraputic. Terribly sad about Mark. He was a talented guy and so creative with the stories he told to give his pieces life. I'll miss him.
Thanks Maxine. Yes, very sad 😔 I will miss his stories also, they were as magical as his art.
Beautiful😊😊😊
The amber with the bug in it is really cool! I love the wire wrapping too! I would really like to learn how to do that so I can turn some of my resin pieces into pendants.
Thanks Lisa 😊 Maybe buy a small wire bundle set and give it a try 😀 Definitely give Oxana a follow too 😀
@@daniel..cooper Thank you! I will check out her channel.

That's a great project, I'm going to have to have a try at it. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Thank you very much your video.
Try to use transperent pigment, it will give clear solution.
So pretty
😊
Very nice Daniel 👌
These are beautiful 😊
Especially nice project and great teaching❤
Thank you Pam! 😊
That looks really nice! I’ve never tried wire wrapping and really enjoy watching your process.
Thank you! 😊
How beautiful that turned out! Great job on the wire wrapping 😉

Thanks for this. I've been dying to make my own amber "looking" pieces but couldn't quite crack it. (getting there with opal style pieces, but...)
More than welcome 😊😊
I want to learn thus so bad! Guess I'm getting some wire lol 😆
It's so therapeutic 🥰🥰🥰
I have that batch and have not used it yet.
I really enjoyed this video- every second! Have you ever poured amber swirl into a one piece cut mold or a two piece mold? If so, how did you prevent colors from bleeding into each other reducing the swirl effect? 🙏🙏

Time to dig out the wires Bob 😊 Coffee may work but may be too dark?
Will the UV lamp affect the properties of the silicone mold?
@neesr 13
No, it doesn't seem to, BUT...to my way of thinking, sunlight degrades ALL things, eventually. That said, silicone doesn't last forever anyway. Daniel has used this particular mold *forever* and VERY frequently, so it's had a long, useful life! I have the same mold and I just love it.
You can use silicone spray mold release before & after each use to extend the mold life. Store it n plastic, then in bins, to prevent scratches.
Isopropyl alcohol can eventually degrade silicone, but often that's the only thing that removes bubbles, so... yeah.
Your link to Amazon US for the 21 gauge wire takes you to Amazon UK
Oh no! I will look into this in the morning, sorry 😔
Tried to use the discount code from your shop on Amazon for alcohol inks but didn’t work 😞
How can you notice between real and resin amber? I know you can answer this because you put uv reactive resin, so it will pass in uv test. I want to buy a real amber and i want to know how to recognize the real and fake one. Please help. Thank you so much.
Real amber will glow a blueish/green color with uv light 😁
I love this piece except for the bug.
Thanks Lorraine, sorry about that 😔
Love you're work, but hate that in NI most if not all on your shopfront is unshippable to me. Cannot get white sinker, or any of the wire used in this project.
I follow you on tiktok, and here. Amazing work ❤
