    @ArtyGal Před 11 měsíci

    Thanks for sharing this. I learned so much here. I have never tried wrapping wire before but I gave it a go. The first shell was rough because I really had the wrong gauge wire for wrapping the 20 gauge but it sorta turned out to look like a cool ornament to use on a macrame wall hanging I just finished.
    The second time I tried this was sooo much easier because I bought the 28 gauge wrapping wire and low and behold I have something very like the lovely wire pattern you taught here.
    I just really appreciate the time and effort you put into shooting this video and for your expertise ❤❤❤❤

    Yvonne, thank you for all you’ve shown us, all you’ve said about what we could possibly be working on, and all your encouragement. With me….(a beginner) I just love to practice the weaving (that I am NOT good at) and actually just listen to you while you’re creating something. It actually relaxes me (unless I’m frustrated) except I have to put up with the extreme pain in my hands because of arthritis. I have joined a few channels, however……YOURS is the best and I just sit here and watch what in the heck you’re doing! Thank you so much.

    Love your attitude towards the wire and any changes you make. You make me realize I need to relax and "go with the flow". Sometimes I try too hard & lost the joy of creating. I need to accept my project may not be perfect but the results will fill me with satisfaction,! Thank you

  • @pamwillems383
    @pamwillems383 Před 6 lety +1

    Definitely a lot of coiling, but it turned out beautiful. You did a great job in showing how you did the wrapping and the stabilizing. Enjoyed your video, will be watching more in the future. I live in Galveston Texas, our own little island, with lots of shells to be had here. Will definitely try wire wrapping some of my many shells, maybe without so much coiling. lol But you never know ! Thanks for the tutorial !

    Hi , I have watched you for sometime now and love your wire weaving skills ! I have a tip for you !! When wire weaving and trying to get that tiny wire threw your base wires , use a straight pin between the shell and base wire. it works for me.

  • @michellekeith922
    @michellekeith922 Před 2 lety +1

    I love what you doing. I love shells and my mom always used to make jewelry and my daughter is making family trees and of course we do make dream catchers. The other funny thing is that your name is kind of like mine my mom‘s and my youngest daughters name my youngest daughters name is Yovon 👩🏽‍🦱 and mine my mom’s name is Vonnie so that’s awesome

    Okay I know this video is a bit old. I have a lot of round style shells and was looking at tutorials even though I don't even have wire, but then you said that thing about not being too critical of your own work, and that other people have different taste and might love your creations - and boy did I need to hear that. Thank you.
