Hey there, you're using a 20 gauge wire, will it really hold the shape for a long time? Btw, you're gifted with this immense talent, enjoyed the video!!

[@abbeyroadcreations]

I find that the 20g wire for the cloud is okay because we "work harden" the wire by creating the loops and hammering them, and also it's a compact design which helps. If I were making a larger cloud for a sun catcher or something, I would definitely use a thicker wire. 💕

These look beautiful! 😮 Thanks for sharing this tutorial with us. Also, your voice is very soothing to listen to while working ❤ I was wondering if we could use an 8mm bead instead of 6mm and how much wire would we need in that case?
TIA

Where did you get the blue raindrop bead? This tutorial was amazing.

hi there, I just wanted to say these are very lovely earrings! Also you referred a couple of times to the people using the metric system, 2nd one being "for those of you in Europe"! Europeans are NOT the only people who use the metric system, the WHOLE rest of the world does!!! The US and 2 very small countries being Liberia and Myanmar are the only ones left using the Imperial system! I just thought you might like to know this! have a happy day!😊

[@abbeyroadcreations]

Haha thanks.. I actually live in Europe but since I speak in English and am originally from the States where wire wrapped jewelry is more common, a whole lot of my followers are in the States which is why I phrased it like that but thanks for the correction
