Gosh, you glide through it so smoothly. Try as I may, I still am struggling. Arthritis in my hands makes it a challenge. But, your tutorials show really well how the tools assist you good. This is a new hobby I am trying to pick up. Love your videos.
Wow! This made it so much easier to understand! I have watched at least 6 other videos and I was getting no where! I need to wrap a little glass bird and filling your instructions, I did it perfectly!
Love the way you captured this stone. PLEASE keep your wire wrapped jewelry tutorials coming!!
I am also in love with rocks. And believe it or not I found a big hunk of crystal inside the ugliest rock next to my dumpster. It was part of a wall that fell apart and I picked it up to use it to hold my door open and when I washed it and the light hit the crystals it was amazing. I have it on display in my front room with the rest of my treasures that I have found while going for a walk.
I love the 'design as you go' concept. You inspire me so much. I broke my wrist and have had two surgeries on it so far and am preparing for the third. The doctor said the four bones I broke were the worst ones I could have broken. I am binge-watching my favorite tutorials. And you're at the top of the list. Thank you for your guidance.
"Do it till you're happy." I think that will be my mantra for the day! Thank you!
I am a beader, I have never done wirework, but watching you makes me realize that I would like to integrate some of this into my beadwork! You make it look like something I might actually be able to do! Thank You!
Wanting so much to learn how to wire wrap! Think I’ve found my teacher! Love that you say to use your techniques and sell anywhere. You are so generous. Thank you so much!
Yvonne, your videos are really very helpful. The tools you use, the way you manipulate the wires, the designs and your spontaneity are so nice to watch. Thanks as always!
I enjoy your leather working videos and while I am not into jewel craft, I still watch those because of your soothing voice. Helps after a tough day at work. Keep on smushing!
Thank you! I used a thick stone & it was a struggle but I really appreciate the step by step instructions. I would have not gotten thru without you
I always love when I find you have a new wire wrap or chainmail tutorial. Makes my day and helps the creative juices to keep on a'flowing! This one is awesome, girl! You rock!

You are such an inspiration, thank you for always keeping the beginners in mind. That makes a world of difference. And yes. Pretty much any tutorial or video you could make, I will watch. 😊

I am a wanna be wire wrapperq, thank you for your attention to determine for us in and dreamer wire wrappers. I am so excited to purchase the needed supplies and get ste. I have so many beautiful stones.
Thank you so much for the ring clamp tip! This has saved my delicate little fingers so muuuuch pain and suffering lolololol. Seriously, my work became so much more even and tidy when I started using the clamp to keep the base wires stable.
Great design and a wonderful different take on a classic setting. Awesome! I can't wait to give this a try. Thank you.
Absolutely well appreciated. When I first started doing wire wrapping myself I was watching your Channel and I think you said you learn from the jewelry school or something like that well I learned from watching you and I love your apps that are absolutely gorgeous and thank you for sharing keep them coming

Yes yes yes to pretty rocks viewing!
I love this. Can't wait to give it a try.
I just love how you calm us down and say that it's going to be okej ❤
I really need it 😅😅
I shared the pictures of the steampunk bracelet, earrings, and necklace that I made using your tutorials working on a ring (my last attempt ended up as my necklace as it was way too big for a ring)to a facebook group I belong to called Imagination in Color. I also sent them to you in a pm on facebook. I have shared other of your tutorials with them as well.
Lol...i was truly lusting over your labs!
I thank you for this. I needed this
love that leaf!!! very cool!
Love it!
You should've added a link for your bracelet pliers. What a great idea for bending those swirls! I will buy them off another video link.
Thank you ☺️ 🌹💋
This is a beautiful piece.
In every tutorial for beginners everyone talks about gauges but pretty much noone talks about what the wire is made of,what it's good for etc. Crafting wire isn't the same in every country. Mostly used wires are copper and brass as I understand. What about coloured ones? What can you do with them? What about bashing with a hammer? Which ones are good for flattenning, texturing etc? Can you do tutorial specifically for various wires please? I wasted so much money getting the wrong stuff as a beginner. Thank you.
Many thanks from a newbie
Love your work... symmetrical or asymmetrical 💕
Love all your videos
Gorgeous work!!
Absolutely beautiful. Can you please tell me the size of the stone? Any suggestions where to buy teardrop-shaped stones? Thank you so much!
U make gorgeous pieces...
I appreciate your appreciation of beginners. You are so generous with your knowledge, and your voice is lovely to listen to.
i would like to buy craft-along boxes, but i can't do it every month. Will you sell them on Etsy, or are they just on patreon?
Yessssss... pretty rocks!!!
Beautiful!!!!
Thank you! ☺
Thanks, Von, again
Well done thank you!
I loved it. Thanks for the tutorial!!!
Would this work ok with the base wire as 16 gauge?brass
That looks awesome your the great
I thank YOU!!
Strictly coming from a make it to sell it perspective, do you feel the time to make vs finally selling it is worth it? I mean if you factor in the time it takes to get good enough at this to make some. Then you make some and feel good about having them in your booth. Once you sell some, is the margin worth it? I know that sounds hard core to some but if this is how I make money to live, it's a very real consideration.
Hello, Diego! This is a really great question! If there isn't joy in the crafting, whether it is jewelry or making leather or some other art, then the money will never be worth it. From the beginning my partner and I felt like if it were just about the money, we'd go get some stable corporate job and just grind out the work day for a consistent paycheck. I wanted to be an artist and he wanted to be his own boss and we decided to give it a go.
There are many paths to making Money off selling jewelry, many of which weren't options when we started; etsy, youtube, tiktok, etc all make starting an online business selling much easier and can seriously reduce the overhead expenses of selling jewelry for a profit. Selling in a booth has its pros and cons, but I feel like that is a novel for another day.
The time it takes to make a single piece is not necessarily always worth what a piece sells for; in a perfect world that wouldn't be the case, but here we are :p For 8 years my partner and I made a living, kept our bills paid, and were able to do more than just scrape by off of just selling jewelry and costumes at craft shows and fandom conventions. This was before we had a youtube channel or really sold online at all, so I know it is possible. We found a balance of selling that didn't focus on the Sale justifying the Time off single pieces, but off the average of all sales made. We would make and sell very simple earrings, that we could get at least 60 pairs of made in an hour, for $5 each. This higher profit margin on these pieces offset the lower profit margin on the art pieces that I wanted to make but couldn't charge as much for in our demographic at a high turnover rate. We'd spend all week Crafting, making whatever we felt like or thought would sell well then on the weekend, 2-3 weekends out of the month, we would drive from 30 minutes to 17 hours from our home to go to a convention/art festival/craft show/etc, set up our booth, sell for 3 days, and drive back home. We slept in our van at first, but sleeping in a hotel is much nicer and was preferred. It typically would cost us $1000 to be at the convention; this is booth fee, hotel cost, travel expenses, and food. We would hope to gross $2000 at an event minimum. So deduct the cost of existing at that event, leaves us with $1000, and $500 of that would go back in to the business to buy more materials, cover future booth fees and hotel reservations, etc, and the remaining 500 was our pay check for that week. $250 per person for a week is not a lot, like I said we lived Very Frugally. If we were able to supplement our income with custom work, online sales, etc that was excellent.
I am going to be honest: I was not good at making jewelry when I started selling. We learned as we went and kept at it. We were only able to live the way we did because we didn't have obligations to anyone around us; we didn't have debt other than student loans, we didn't have kids, no health issues to be concerned about. If we ate rice and beans day in and day out, we were the only ones that was affecting, so we were able to risk everything and give it a go.
If its worth it? Thats up to you. It was and is to us, but that is for each person to decide for themselves. We worked very hard to be very poor for a very long time, but I have absolutely no regrets about how I spent my 20's, and am very glad we had that experience and were able to then make a youtube channel and online business out of helping other crafters hopefully find an easier path to making their dreams and financial goals a reality
@@backtoearthcreations Wow, I'm touched to say the least. A little misty actually. Thank you very much for the incredibly thoughtful and honest reply. I love to craft and think I'm close to offering my stuff for sale. Thank you for the encouragement and support.
Yvonne, could this design be modified to hold a faceted teardrop stone?
I love that!
I'm a "new bee". Can I use 20 gauge wire for this and same for wrapping or 22 gauge for wrapping?
❤️❤️❤️
question.... I am having a difficult time with this... I am using copper instead of silver and it is really hard to manipulate the curly ques... is copper harder to work with?
you do good
Ouuu where do u get your stones ?
Someone asked, but what is the length of the wires? You answered about halfway in about 20 inches. This will be round two. My 1st didn't look great. Did I miss the looking at pretty rocks tutorial or hang out sessionI? I am as a sensational lady said a lab "whorder." She can respond if she wants 😉. I am not sure I am not part dragon. I have to, too much.You could tell us about your favorites, although I do see the trend ❤
Thanks for thay
As my son says really small flaws makes it hand made. Even if you are the only one who see it.
What are the lengths of the wire?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very confused by the dog sneeze because my dog is behind me and I could figure out where it came from haha
