Thank you for sharing your generous teachings Matt! You inspired me to wrap a stone that I wore to work today. Got so many compliments on it too 😊 Happy Holidays! 🌸
Yay! I have dubbed myself Matt’s crazy art fan! I’ve been binge watching your videos. (They are far less stressful and violent than Game of Thrones.) I found cheap galvanized write at the local junk/overstock store and I’m wrapping everything. I wrapped a bread while I watched this video that I wanted to share, but it seems there is no way to leave a pic in a comment. So anyway... Thanks! This channel is awesome! Seriously, thanks! You are so talented. Today I’m going to the lake. I’ll be wrapping the skinny end of chop sticks while the kids enjoy spring weather.
I've been wanting to do this for ages now with a beautiful piece of New Zealand paua shell (what you guys would call Abalone). Thanks for the demo, you make it look so easy and with minimal equipment, looks so beautiful too.
So beautiful! Genuinely inspirational. I'm a relatively new viewer, but I love what you do. You also seem like an amazing person with the way you present all your content. So have a good Christmas (or general winter holiday) and keep making beautiful stuff!!
Hello, I love the way you wire wrap your jewelry. But is it possible to pull the camera a little bit further? If you hold it further it's stil good to see and less a problem to stay in frame. So you try to let us show the way it works but we can't see it because you do it out of frame. Sorry for the long sentences but I am not native English so sometimes I need to go from Europe to USA and I go via Africa... if you know what I mean... I already tried many things of your videos and they absolutely are beautiful. I wearing one of your designs right now. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and your knowledge... ❤
IT's so cool when ya don't have to wait for Santa to bring you one! Great motion and there are two more gifts needed this week for unexpected company's girls.
Great tutorial- think i may have to try this- hard to follow right handed people- I always feel as if I'm working upside down 😂 but followed this better thanks for sharing 👍
Wow man, a very pretty pendant. The silver on white does look nice. Hey, I have some little MOP flat beads just about the same size as yours only they're dyed a very pretty blue... And, I have blue wire that's the same kinda blue... AND, (here's where it gets interesting) I also have some blue chain. They would all look good together, too... kinda maybe sorta somewhat. We shall see. Ah crap, I don't have blue jump rings. Hhmmmm 🤔. I could try to make matching jump rings with the blue wire I have...Well, I gotta get going 🙆. Peace Out, Peace In😁🙄. Later 🐊
@@MattsCrazyArt But, I am always curious how much to charge for a small item like this??? I know it will depend on the market that I am selling in, but just looking for a ballpark number.
@@MattsCrazyArt I get mines from Parawire too only at shows. I dont want to pay for shipping or place an order over $100 or 200 for free shipping. copper & stainless steel is the majority of my inventory. I really dont like aluminium. I tend to use lots of 18 gauge so your vids give me ideas on how to use small gauges that I underutilized. I have (colored wire 30-22) & bare copper & as 24, 20 & 12 gauge that sit. I need to be making new project with all of this. I look forward to your upcoming vids.
If your using sterling silver (925), you can save your scraps, and use a torch and crucible to melt them down. Or, you can make dangles from them. Straighten, loop one end, and hammer the loop but not the scarf to work harden. Hammer the other end out flat. You can add these to earrings and pendants, or even form necklaces if you collect enough. If you're au fait with soldering you could form clean closed loops for a more finished look. Waste not, want not.
PS Just watched an tutorial on making cha-cha rings, where several 3mm or 4mm beads are threaded indivually on to head pins, which are then looped Thread these onto a loop in the centre of a length of 18ga wire to form a cluster. This then is wrapped on a ring mandrel in the classic Wire Wrapped ring method to create the Cha-cha ring. Making headwires out of offcuts is Make Your Own Findings 101. Just bend 20ga wire with your flat nose pliers about an inch down to 90 deg angle in the horizontal. Return that short end to the horizontal, and with the tip of your round nose pliers, or if you've got multi-mandrel pliers, use the smallest mandrel, and form a loop or swirl that is centred around the long end of wire in the vertical. This works best with the very tips of the round nose pliers because you can form a fairly tight centred, closed swirl. Switch to your chain nosed pliers to keep the swirl tight. Finish at a suitable size. Thread your bead onto it and close the loop. If you have several offcuts 2 inches or more, you can make one of these rings. Here's the tutorial: czcams.com/video/8-_RivsBZ98/video.html. Have fun.

Eres un artista quedo imnotizada viéndote trabajar, y lo mejor es que no se inglés 😂, mirando aprendo, gracias por tus lecciones 🥰
Loving this elegant wirework!!! Reminds me of shadows!!! Thank you for a great video and hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!!
Your wire wrapping is stunning.

The mother of pearl. Is happy about the gentle touch. Thanks.
So beautiful! You should try something with actual pearls.
I feel bad stealing from oysters
Stellar!
So pretty. I have a hunch of these shells. I need to try this.
I simply love this necklace. Can I buy one, just like this?
I'm also curious how it would look with two different color wires.
Every time I watch one of your videos I think to myself “what a cool guy.” You’re awesome!!! I love your tutorials!!!! Stay cool!!!! 🤙🏼💖
So so sweet ~I like how you showcase the local charm😇

I'm trying to imagine what that would look like with gold or another contrasting colored wire...🤔 I can only conclude it would look awesome.
Did you do well with xmas sales? You are SOOoooooo good at what you do! I never gets tired of watching you, or listening to your Sage advice.
Love this! Cute, simple little design, so fun! Have you ever tried to use just pearls?
The oysters won't let me
Try threatening them with boiling water 😈
This is a Very Pretty design! ❤

Matt, I love these little ones but how do you sell the? With or without a chain? How much do you charge for them? I really enjoy your videos and info.
Always with a chain
@@MattsCrazyArt But, I am always curious how much to charge for a small item like this??? I know it will depend on the market that I am selling in, but just looking for a ballpark number.
I can picture this pendant with beaded wire chain. Maybe an asymmetrical design with pearls.
Nice job
I received my flat round gems today and going to try your wire wrap
Beverley Jones where did you order them from?
Lifes360 i from Ali express they have some good
Thanks!! I tried Etsy but there is too much info and it’s confusing. 😔

Hi. Where do you purchase your wire? What is your most commonly used size beads & wire for bracelets & pendants? Thx.
parawire.com 18, 20 and 22 gauge are most common. Also 16 and 26

Hi
Any ideas on using smallish scraps of wire. I love using sterling, but am traumatized by waste.
If your using sterling silver (925), you can save your scraps, and use a torch and crucible to melt them down. Or, you can make dangles from them. Straighten, loop one end, and hammer the loop but not the scarf to work harden. Hammer the other end out flat.

beautiful ❗ wire wave ❗
Nice work....make your earrings adding..... tassles.. (new style) that would look real nice.. check out..!!
Yeah Matt, I haven't seen you make any tassels. I'd love to watch. I've tried to make the simple looking little suckers, but haven't had much luck.
Ah! That's good because i have these beads.
