    it's really encouraging to have someone actually _say_ they don't know what they are doing instead of just doing it, makes me feel better that I'm flying blind with jewelry making. books and videos are fine but sometimes you just need to hear someone else admit their lack of knowledge. Genuinely saying thank you. :)

    We can learn more from our failures than we can from our successes. Your video taught us to invest a little thought in advance so that the wire arms are long enough to hug the stones. It takes a lot more wire than one might initially expect.

    If a small wire is needed, smaller gauge accent beads or stones small ones really do something to that stone different type of stone to Colorz at go well together just an idea.

    Crazy and creative, great combination. I love these hammered ones! I wondered about 12 Gauge wire. Not too many demos on this size wire. You are so outside the box, always experimenting, with your goofy sense of humor, this is what an artist does. Always something new and inventive. This is easy, fast, and looks stunning. Great job, Matt!😀. Subscribed.

    Matt he's our man, if Matt can't do it no body can.
    Tks girl we got to take care of Matt.... When you wrap stones, and have to add the 26 gague to hold stone down. Wrap each time about 3 wraps. It gives it a better finished look. Just a thought. Don't shoot the messenger.
