Wild man, wild. Love the colours and textures. So many ways to colour and combine processes. My head is overflowing with ideas after this one Nancy. Thanks.
I very much enjoy your content ,I am learning so much. It’s just a bonus that you are very funny ,fun and entertaining. Ty for sharing your light and your talent. Look forward to watching more from you 😎😌💍
I love your videos, they are so helpful. I also love Sugar and her short cuts, would love to see more. From one shorty to another that loves to take short cuts.
_"It looks like Hell, but it was supposed to say Hello"_ 🤣 Nancy, have you ever considered a side-gig as a stand-up comedian?! Or failing that, the diplomatic service...
Love this! I am flame coloring a pair of earrings, and one came out great, and the other one kept turning black. I just finish successfully coloring the second earing. Thanks. And now I have other ideas to work on. I'm excited!
Ms. Nancy LT, always love your video’s - super informative and mixed with your awesome sense of humor together make for the exceptional. Like your idea of liquid polymer clay on metal, so off I go to try it. Many thanks and best wishes always.
Hi, Nancy, love your enthusiasm and sense of humor, your videos are always fun and informative. But (you knew it was coming, right, lol?), it would help soooooo much if you could at some point, maybe at the end so it wouldn't require constant refocusing of the camera throughout the video, show close-ups of the results you got with the various media you are applying. All we get out here is your reassurance that something is happening, but we can't really SEE it! It can get pretty expensive to buy full sizes of the products only to find out that perhaps we don't like the effect after all. Thanks for your hard work making these videos, they are much appreciated!
Liquitex makes a clear gesso. I haven't tried it - other than canvas prep - but I think it would be cool to prime and color and still be able to see the natural metal underneath. That aside, thanks for putting so much fun into your videos. Peace and happy things.
thank you that was great! I also use peanut oil and heat a little. it is a great bronzy look. shown on online jewelry academy. thank you for your videos!
Like your videos and always learn a lot. I was particularly interested in the nail polish. Try gel polish with added very fine glitter and a clear coat in the ultra violet thing like at the manicurists use. I got a set recently from Fred Meyers with the machine and four bottles of polish including the clear coat on top for under $40. Works great on toothed metals and is almost undistructable.
Hi Nancy! I have to say you always make my day!!, learning a lot about everything. All fun ,wish I could just hang with you girls. You have to know you are therapy for me, I have stage four ovarian cancer, and of course I waited to get cancer to find out how much I love metal working ,playing might be better word. Just wanted to say thanks!!!!
Coolio… Another idea that I've used in past is the liquid sealer, that also adds a bit of dimension, that I used to use when making cards and other paper art…was the name Diamond somethingorother??? Oh, and crackle used for paper arts, too. Oh, and if you want to add ephemera, use resin. I did that with a scorpion! It turned out really cool. At this point, I think I'm sticking with torch color and LOS. But, you did give me some ideas regarding gesso. U R such my hero.
Thanks Nancy for your wonderful videos! Do you have a way to protect your torch fired colors on copper? I have tried several sealants: krylon, vintag, mod podge, liquitex, clear nail polish, and permalac. They all seem to dull the colors or make some disappear. I believe the colors are called inference colors so I'm not sure you can protect them. Also have you tried producing colors on copper/brass using red rouge first then hitting it with a flame. A friend taught this to me many years ago. The wax from the rouge tends to hold the colors fairly well. Thanks again!
Another fun video. I use alcohol ink to color Robert Dancik's Faux Bone using the traditional application of a felt pad and stamping tool. I use Vintage Glaze as a sealer.
Haven't tried that as yet. I do have some pvc pipe that I've been thinking about using. I've also heated the faux bone with a hea gun and shaped it to make curves.
I love your videos! Not only have I learned an incredible amount from you, but I just always feel happier after one of these videos. Yes, please do one on the faux bone using PVC pipe!
Hi Nancy. Thanks you for these videos. Both you and they are great! I don't know if you check for replies at this late a date but if so have you tried the ceramic coatings that are out for cars now as a sealer for your jewelry? Maybe on top of a clear coat? The reason I ask is that I am just getting started into making and wouldn't know the difference anyway. Also, if you have a laser thermometer have you checked to see at what temperature the various colors show up on the metal? Thanks again and have a Blessed day!
Nancy, I liked your tut and the personality you put into your presentation. However, the camera work leaves a lot to be desired. I would really like to see the effects you came up with on the metals closer up. And if you could hold the peices steady for a few seconds so we can actually see the results. Thanks.
Hi Nancy, great video. Hope all is well with you. I like doing heat patina on copper but when it comes time to seal, always my gorgeous blues and violets turn to moss puke green. Any ideas? I guess I could just not seal at all.....? Thank you!
Stainless steel will also color with a torch and is really pretty, but it takes quite a lot and is tough to work. I like it a lot though, almost as much as copper.
Ive just watched your making metal flowers video and will now watch the ads all the way through. However i cant find any amazon affiliate links. Where are they pls? Also how do you buy your videos? I subscribe to patreon for some people which gives a monthly subscription to them. Just discovered you and think you are brilliant.
LOVE this video! I kept getting frustrated that your captions pop up directly over your work area so I feel I missed a lot of what you were showing us. I'm a new subscriber since I just found you. :) Looking forward to checking out your other goodies!
I think you might be able to set your closed captioning off by clicking on the CC on the bottom right corner of your video screen. When I have CC on there is a red underline under the CC and when it is off there is no red line underneath :) Hope to help.
This was a great video, but I lost it when she said you don't have to work about your nails being wet while petting the cat. And I'm like 🤦🤦🤦 she probably has a pet cat but....word choice. ☺️
Hi Nancy! Your videos are always so inspiring...and FUN! Couple questions, if I may. Any particular types of colored pencils to use (or not use) for that technique? Oh drat, I already forgot the other question. lol Maybe more later....maybe. Thanks for doing these videos! Love them!
Loved it! I have seen a video where they used borax and heated it on the metal and got great colors ... I cannot seem to duplicate .. is there a trick to this technique? Love your stuff!
I mention that in the video information section. Mix borax and water, drop the hot metal into it. Usually, makes reds. You can also do it with salt water. Adjust concentrations to see which proportions work best. One of the images for the video (the red one) was done with borax/ boric acid and water. Thanks. Have fun playing.
Hi Nancy! Found you recently and I am love every minute! Question. I do ammonia and salt patinas and I was wondering if Renaissance wax work to keep it protected Thank you for your time and everything!
I actually wasn't confused (for once), the oil just didn't work right so, the message: " Hello all" looked like "Hell". Thanks for supporting the "weirdness"! Happy creating!
Fabulous video Nancy! So many different techniques - I really enjoyed it all. I've come across this place that you need to check out for patinas and sealants for metal. Here's the link - www.sculptnouveau.com/ I love doing a heat patina on copper but trying to keep the colours is always the problem. This place - might - have the solution...
Hi Aims! Thanks. Actually have a link to their site on mine. They have a lot of great products - been using and recommending them for years. Thank you.

Wow - these are just _gorgeous_ Nancy. Thank you!
_"It looks like Hell, but it was supposed to say Hello"_ 🤣
Nancy, have you ever considered a side-gig as a stand-up comedian?!
Or failing that, the diplomatic service...
I am beginning to make earrings with metal and have watched a million videos. YOUR VIDEOS ARE ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!
Nancy thanks for your common sense approach , you've saved my a lot of money !
I love your presentations Nancy, besides being a funny fun lady, you in spire me x
Love what you are doing but would like more close ups of the jewelry...thanks
You are GREAT!!! You make learning so much fun.
Thank you Nancy, that was fun. I shall try the coloured pencil method for sure. Xx
Lots of good info. Wish there was more on just acylic paint on copper as that is what I'm trying. Thank you!
Love this! I am flame coloring a pair of earrings, and one came out great, and the other one kept turning black. I just finish successfully coloring the second earing. Thanks. And now I have other ideas to work on. I'm excited!

I love the intro to your videos, makes me laugh every time!!
I'm glad - hope that lasts!
Nancy you crack me up (after only 35 seconds)!

Thanks for the tips (and kind comment) John!
Have you ever made your own faux bone using PVC pipe, ventilation and a toaster oven? I should do a video...
Haven't tried that as yet. I do have some pvc pipe that I've been thinking about using. I've also heated the faux bone with a hea gun and shaped it to make curves.
I love your videos! Not only have I learned an incredible amount from you, but I just always feel happier after one of these videos. Yes, please do one on the faux bone using PVC pipe!
Thanks! I like this idea for a vid! Thanks for your vote.
ok i've only watched the first 7 seconds of this video and i already know i'm gonna love you. i subscribed immediately!

There is clear gesso too. :o won't that be cool?
That started like a 90s teeny bopper show...
Try Pebeo paints on your pieces.

Great, thanks.
Couldn't find you on FB. Is it under Ashley Wellsville?
Stainless steel will also color with a torch and is really pretty, but it takes quite a lot and is tough to work. I like it a lot though, almost as much as copper.

Will the scent of the nail polish eventually fade?
This was a great video, but I lost it when she said you don't have to work about your nails being wet while petting the cat. And I'm like 🤦🤦🤦 she probably has a pet cat but....word choice. ☺️
Haha! A perfect example of trying to think and talk at the same time! Thanks!
seems like I found the wrong "coloring metal" tutorial for my drawing LMAO
great video anyways!
Are those acrylic paints you are mixing with the alcohol?
Hi Nancy! Your videos are always so inspiring...and FUN! Couple questions, if I may. Any particular types of colored pencils to use (or not use) for that technique? Oh drat, I already forgot the other question. lol Maybe more later....maybe. Thanks for doing these videos! Love them!
I used regular colored pencils. Most of them are Prang or Art Studio brands. Thanks!!!!
Thank You!

Thanks for video Nancy. What kind of wax crayons do you use? Thanks!
The colored pencils are mostly Prang and Art Studio brands. Thanks!
I suggest you check out crackle medium! You paint it over dry acrylic for a ready neat finish.
Thanks for the idea!
Actually, I have used that - Kroma Crackle is very similar.
Hi Nancy!
Found you recently and I am love every minute! Question. I do ammonia and salt patinas and I was wondering if Renaissance wax work to keep it protected
Thank you for your time and everything!
Did you ever discover if the Renaissance Wax does protect it?
Have you tried Turtle wax? It protects cars.
Nancy, can you promise not to confuse hello and hell anymore? Thank you.
Okay, if I must!
Nancy H
Nancy, confuse away the word hell, LOL! I enjoy your weirdness!
I actually wasn't confused (for once), the oil just didn't work right so, the message: " Hello all" looked like "Hell". Thanks for supporting the "weirdness"! Happy creating!
have you ever tried flame cured enamel u get it from Cookson Sholden.com
I've done torch enameling. Probably the same technique - different terminology. I use regular enamel powders for torch enameling.
Intro sounds like indian
Fabulous video Nancy! So many different techniques - I really enjoyed it all.

couldn't get past 8 seconds of the intro...
Rhyannon Lallatin That intro was the BEST! Love it!!! 😄😄😄🐱🐱🐱
Rhyannon Lallatin same !!!!
Nancy, you make it fun!
Be fun.
It’s ok, they missed a lot of good info
