I have 100s of stone cabs... I love stones and gems. During quarantine I told myself I'd start wiring, I didn't. Everything just sits here. I am a leaded stained glass artist, you would think that I wouldn't feel incompetent on my wiring journey, but I do. I am about to dive in! I know I got this! Love how you teach. Thanks
I love watching your videos and have been looking for a way to incorporate wire wrapping with my resin art. I think you have come up with a great idea here. Just an FYI for anyone working with resin & alcohol inks....the ink will fade quite rapidly. It can fade in as little as 4 wks if in the direct sunlight. It takes a hair longer in indirect sunlight. As Von says keep on crafting.
@Yvonne Williams, you are a Great Teacher. Because of your kindness and your Tutorials, I'm starting to "play" with wire. I'm making my first Tree of Life. Thanks! God bless! I'm in Connecticut. 😙
Love this! I have 7 of these beautiful cabs from you and I’ve sold most of them. People love them. Omg, thanks so much for putting my piece up that I sent. Love you bunches! ❤️
Morning, Vonn! This is so very serendipitous: I was just wracking my brain for a simpler, less costly item that I could create and BOOM 💥...here you are!! For me, the hardest part is that all of my stones are, in fact, actual stones, so there’s a bit more work involved. But as long as my Dremel holds up, I am aces! Thanks, doll...Happy Sunday, y’all!!! 💋😎💋🏴☠️
Yvonne Williams Shaping them! i work from rough. I have a very minimalistic lapidary set up with a 6” saw blade and grinding wheel and had to set up my own water feed system. I use that mainly for cutting slabs to work from. I’m on SSI, so I make do with what I got. Oh, why couldn’t I have been born wealthy instead of just incredibly gorgeous?! BWAAAAHAHAH! But, seriously, once I have a couple of pieces done, I will send you some pics...ciao!
@@Brokenox2023 Not that i mind, but i can’t tell you anything different in email than i have described here. I have a small saw blade/grinding wheel lap machine that needs the blade replaced, and i have Dremel rotary tools , the biggest being the 4000. And countless bits of all types. And needle files. And callouses...lots of callouses.
I am so happy I found this! I bought a beautiful crescent moon shaped crystal at the farmers market today and decided I was going to do a wire wrap it… Iv never done this before!😂😂 thank you adhd!
“There is not a thing in my life that I’ve ever done that isn’t a derivative of someone els’s amazing artwork” Felt this so hard! I love the honesty and humble attitude ♥️ I’m always the “creative” one but I never feel creative cause I’m always pulling inspiration from others. Literally came here collecting inspiration to bahahahhaha! I don’t know if it’s just me, but I feel like we all just get our ideas recycled and made our own from somewhere els??
Loved this (really love ALL your tutorials Von) and I also love how you say you're inspired by other artists.....I do that as well....I always tell people "this was NOT my idea, but it IS my own style or take on it"....I also mention those who have inspired me so yeah......makes me love ya even more cause I see your heart and morals as an artist!!!!! In my 30 some years of being a mixed media artist I have seen many who do not share those morals! I also love how you showed the other artists and their take on the crescent moon pendant......beautiful work guys!!!!! Blessings in Love & Light!!!!!
These are beautiful. I watched part of your live last night too & did one of my own moons because I have agate moons that need wrapping. I love this wrap. Thank you! 💗 I wish I could show you my wraps.
You're reading my mind! Lol I just started a wore wrap moon. Didnt have a cab so I made the crescent out of wire weave and coils. And then going to add more coils amd swirls to build it up to make it more 3d. But now I want to make cabs!
VERY helpful. And I'm so happy that you still did a moon wrap vid bc I am just beginning and wasn't around for all those moons in 2020! And...I could listen to you all day; you have one of the most beautiful and consistent voices. I ff through most instructional videos because of loud or squeaky voices, or too many long pauses. I enjoyed every minute! I'm a fan🌞
Love these and all that you share with us! Do you ever file or sand the ends of wires to remove any sharp tips - especially with rings, etc, so that there are no edges even if you squeeze them in? Thanks!
I just finished my first craft-along and the magic curtain is slowly pulling back. I will partially miss the fascination of wondering how you do what you do, but now that I am learning, I gladly let it go for the feeling of "WOW - I did that?"
I know this is unrelated but I was wondering if you could pretty please show us your film set up I love the overhead view and how in your other videos you zoom in as if you have a remote but idk anything about that stuff lol
Yvonne I received my very first shipment from you yesterday! I ordered Duds and they are beautiful! There were crescent moons in the box!😀. I'm so glad the order found me as shipping label was addressed to Donna Donna...lol. did I forget to include my last name🤔..bahaha... sorry if that confused you and Randy...oops! Blessings from Canada 🙂
I love seeing the different variations people have made, it's a great addition, especially for foundation techniques. Unfortunately I couldn't actually see the last ones because of the links that popped up in front of them. For next time it might be an idea to stop showing the pictures a few seconds early, so the two don't overlap.
Love your videos. I’m new to Jewelry making and really enjoy watching your videos. I have been trying to see if you have a video on how to wire wrap a stone that has a hole drilled in the top for a pendant. If you have one out there can you direct me to it? Thank you so much!
I enjoyed your tutorial so much, thank you for sharing! I'm having a hard time figuring out where to get the cabochons, I have clicked on all the links but no luck :)
Yvonne you are amazingly talented, and I love your videos! I'm starting to do jewelry work, and was wondering where you get your beads from mostly, or where you've found them to be most cost effective?
I have a question about Parawire. I just received some samples from the Parawire Company. I want to be able to lightly hammer my earring pieces to add strength to the wire. Do you think that is appropriate with this type of wire? I do not want to damage the protective coating and loose its inability to protect. Thanks for your tutorials!
I didn't find any of your MOON CRESCENT cabs in your Etsy store...will you be carrying any more of them soon? Not sure where else to get them, and don't really want to try to figure out how to make them myself; thanks!

Now I know why my wire work hasn't been working out, I haven't been going "boop" when I cut the wires. I know the secrets now!!
🤣
Beautiful as always, I love your precision, not only do you make it look easy, but you make your pieces so NEAT. 😊

Great tips! I like how you show trouble shooting like you did here with snipping off the knicked section of a coil and recoiling the wire. xo
Love your technique ❤ Thank you!
It's my pleasure! ❤
Wow, this is just so lovely. Now that I've been watching your channel for a while, I frequently catch myself saying "pokey bits". Lol!

I think so!
@@backtoearthcreations Awesome!!!
I LOVE these crescent moons, where can I get them?
How long are your initial wires?
EDIT:Never mind you answered it around the 5 minutes in
I can't figure out how long the wire is supposed to be?
Can you please post an exact link to the wire you used? Thank you
Great video !!! Where did you buy your moons from !? Do you sell the moons? I am very interested in buying some crescent moons from you !
Where did you source that awesome moon??
Heya, Nick! I made it out of polymerclay and resin
I didn't find any of your MOON CRESCENT cabs in your Etsy store...will you be carrying any more of them soon? Not sure where else to get them, and don't really want to try to figure out how to make them myself; thanks!
Hey, Cindy! We're all sold out right now but we will be making more this week!
How long are your wires? Thx love
What is the measurement of the wires?
