I can't begin to compliment you enough for your extreme details and superb explanations! I have spent the last two hours looking at a few of your watercolor tutorials and now these lovely earrings. I so admire your talent and excellence as a teacher. Your techniques and artistry are fabulous - thank you for caring so much to inform all of us!
you rock. I love your videos. I love the way you take the care to explain what not to do and less, yes, is more. Consider yourself hugged by a mom/granny who is gonna share this with creative family folk. you're a great teacher, interesting, and choose excellent projects to share. thank you thank you thank you!
I made a pair of these, thanks to your tutorial. Everyone loves them. They are so light too. You can wear big earnings without the 'ear drag' brilliant. Thank you!
Thank you so much for teaching this. You are such a gifted teacher, the way you talk us through each step ...the words you speak are so pleasant not to mention how very your watercolor lessons are I have watched ,painting the flower petals,,all in all you are trully gifted. Thank you, Maria
I watched the Watercolor bracelet, and then the watercolor paper earrings... Thank you for posting these, and you have such patience and explain each step so as to explain the method. I enjoyed viewing and will try this with the water color paper I have!
I just spent my first day of 2016 watching the remarkable video. Never knew about this at all. I'm definitely going to try this!! Working at a craft store for the past 15 years I've seen this paper in the Fine Arts Dept. but never ever knew you can make this! Usually an Art student is looking for this paper for watercolor pictures that their Professor has instructed them to purchase. I'm a 59 year old woman and I just like making things from beginning to end, all the while watching the end piece evolve. This is absolutely Amazing!!! Thank you sir for taking the time to make this video. PS: found this video from watching your two videos about making the upside down heart earrings. Your teaching methods and the honest tutorial is why I'm watching several of your teachings. Gratefully, Martha
Ross, thank you for another wonder tutorial.. You have no doubt inspired many to create their own version of watercolor earrings and pendants. I have learned so much from you and greatly appreciate your sharing of your storehouse of knowledge. How fortunate your students are. Thanks again.
Sorry for the delay in response - Hurricane Sandy took down power here. That is a wonderful project! I will definitely be in touch to learn more! Thanks for watching!
Wow...absolutely beautiful! Im an artist and I love this idea of using paper to create jewelry. I just start my jewelry collection and look forward to using paper to make beautiful unique designs! Thank you so much for sharing...you are truly an inspiration!
Excellent video! I found your video and instructions exciting, because I can't tell you how many pairs of earrings I have purchased that don't fall correctly!! YOU are aware of this and have addressed the problem. For that alone, I thank you many times over!! Beautiful work, Ross ... just excellent! Thank you for sharing!!
I absolutely love all your work, I'm going to have a go, after Christmas. So beautiful, delicate and very feminine, thank you for sharing it with us all
The designs you see me demonstrate are my own designs, are copyrighted and cannot be offered for sale, but you are free to use the techniques to create your own, unique designs! Thanks for watching!
Enjoy painting with watercolors! That's the main thing - to enjoy the process. Your skill level will improve with practice. I do recommend 140 lb cold press Arches watercolor paper, as it gives me the best results. Let me know how it goes! Thanks for watching my video.
Love this tutorial... Handmade and from the heart... the only gifts I truly treasure... better than any store bought item ever... I can see making things like this from my art journals/mixed media... Thank You for sharing this!!
You are welcome! You may want to join my Realisticart Facebook group, where we post photos of what we have made and discuss various aspects. I'd love to see what you create! Thanks for watching!
I have learned so much from you I have even gone as far as using different textures of paper in my crafts thank you so much I only wish I could paint like you.
I just watched how to make watercolor paper earrings. Those earrings are amazing! As a watercolorist myself I would love to make these! Your video was very easy to understand as was all your explanations. Thank you so much for making your video. I will definitely give these a try!
Fabulous!!! I've made jewelry from clay and made simple paper beads -- this is FANTASTIC!! and I love how you sign the earrings, makes them truly a work of art.
You are welcome! So glad you enjoy making handcrafted pieces. People really do appreciate the time and creative energy that goes into them. Thank you for watching!
I am SO excited to discover a way to combine my love of watercolor with my jewelry making. Thank you so much for sharing this process with the world. You did an awesome job. Your instructions along with the physical process of making them is wonderful. Thanks again for sharing! ~Peace~ Debi
Hi - if you are asking about each side of the piece, it is watercolor paper on the front, covered by banana paper on the back. Thank you for watching my video! Hi - se ti stai chiedendo su ciascun lato del pezzo, è carta da acquerello sul fronte, coperta da carta banana sul retro. Grazie per guardare il mio video si!
Wow! What a beautiful final product!! When you said "to prepare the watercolour paper" it was really loud and ominous...LOL! Other than a great video, I might try to make a pair!
Thank you for sharing your work with us! The details are excellent! As a person who has never done water colors I think I could do this! Really great stuff!
That is pretty amazing! Interesting that my idea for watercolor jewelry came from a more formal study of colorful enamels on metal. Jewelry was my minor as I studied painting in grad school. Glad you found something that really interests you- I always enjoy this process! Thanks for watching!
So creative. You are a very good teacher, & I like that you explain every detail. Your work is gorgeous, thanks for sharing, I look forward to watching more of your projects!
Stunning! Having experience in metals and Jewelry it is interesting that you use the same tools and techniques for paper (where when layered is TOUGH). Thanks again for your video.
beautiful work.. i took a look at your web page and i was flawed. it is so beautiful and you would never think it was made from paper. i am so glad you put up this tutorial, i hope to make a pair for my daughter
Thank you for this! I had begun to make watercolour paper earrings myself, without knowing there was help out there, but yours are so much more robust, professional, and beautiful. I was using acrylic paint in solid colours and varnishing, but my edges were never right. Thanks again. You are really inspiring.
I was surprised too, Shirley, when I first got started making watercolor paper jewelry. The possibilities are limitless! Thanks for your comment! -Ross
Thank you so much for your very kind comments! So happy to provide some inspiration! Consider joining our Realisticart Facebook group, where we post photos of what we create and talk about tools and process.
Sorry for the delay in response - Hurricane Sandy took down power here. Yes you can apply watercolor paper to both sides. Just glue one at a time to make sure each layer is dry before you do the other side. Thanks for watching!
You provided a wonderful tutorial on BEAUTIFUL watercolor earrings! Thanks for sharing your awesome artistic talent with everyone.
Thanks for your very kind words! I just recently started making videos again and will be posting new watercolor, painting, and jewelry videos.
