Your work is beautiful. But the reason for my comment is your voice. You have the most calming and soothing voice ever! I wish I had had this video 20 years ago when I had babies. I would have played your videos to help them settle down for a nap. 😊
Some of the best tutorials for wrapping on the internet. I love minimalist design and wraps that let the stone shine thru. I how ever also prefer the look of silver on all stones. You make everything look very easy kinda like a calculus math teacher. I still haven't got the hang of any weaving except a Viking weave. I guess I'm gonna have to break down and buy flat and half round to ever be able to get it right. Much love from a newer 50 yo. Stone lover, wire wrapper from the South. O btw just in case anyone else reads this. I found that stainless steel works much better as far as a tiny guage wire goes 26-28 it's strengths make it better than copper or silver and because of it's size it's fairly easy to work and it doesn't break like the softer copper or silver. I found this out without buying any wire since I had some stainless left from years past when I wrapped my own sub ohm vape coils from stainless steel wire in 26ga. Hope this tip may help others. I had broken many pieces of plated copper when trying to twist it tight in a small guage. Stainless holds up to twisting much better. Of course it would probably be much harder to manipulate in a higher guage but in the smaller stuff stainless is all I will use from now on.
OMG ... your voice is SO beautiful, calm and relaxing ! I feel all my tension slipping away while watching your tutorials - and my heart and mind completely calm down ! ... So a perfect mindset ... ready for absorbing the information shown in your demonstrations. As well as being extremely therapeutic ... your demonstrations are so clearly shown & explained ! You are the perfect tutor ! Thank you for sharing 💕
totally agree.. I have tried to watch many tutorials for other thing I am trying to learn, and I just can't, their voice drive me nuts but you are right, it is beautiful and feels like the nice teacher we had when we were kids, 😏❤️❤️
It's a whole lot cheaper to buy wire by the pound at Rio Grande than it is to buy wire at the craft store and it's a high quality product. I am just a regular nobody and they sell to me. Thank you so much by the way, for telling us about them. God bless!
Yes definitely, I just recommend the craft wire if someone is trying wire wrapping for the first time to see if this is something they'd want to do more, and if it is then the 1lb spools from Rio are the best deal because you get so much wire.
I love Rio Grande! I've been buying my sterling silver wire and jewelry tools from them for years. I also buy copper wire and blanks from them. I have never had any problems with quality and they have great prices!
Omg I love this way of wrapping... thank you so much ..this popped up in time for me to make lots for a country show next weekend..I was feeling daunted .. but seeing this has inspired me .. very grateful 🙏
I tried the rectangle tutorial fur my rectangular Laboradite and it worked so well, definitely trying this too. Thank you so much fir your amazing tutorials ❤️
I love the simplicity of this design, as it really allows the beauty of the Labradorite to shine through🤩 Thanks so much for another wonderful tutorial 🦋🌺🌿
Your tutorials are always so clear and broken down into easy-to-follow pieces! I’ve loved watching them for a while now and always get wonderful results. Thanks for continuing to do them. How’s the puppy?
I just love your work. I've a question, if you don't mind. I've so many heart cabachons and cant find a tutorial that I like. They are larger than a quarter. Could you create a tutorial?
I love it! I just finished making my own cabs! 1st batch of 10. I have 3 amethyst, a Petoskey and the rest are leland blues! ( I'm a michigand girl) you inspire me!
I very much admire your work. I was wondering if you could do one with a 4 x 4 tile, as many of us are enjoying the dot mandala painting, and an incorporated frame would be amazing.
4 inches? That's really large, I'm not sure I've ever made such a large pendant. One easy option would be to use one of those glue on bails or to drill a hole and use a pinch bail
I tried repurposing a couple of your concepts, by wrapping the corners, and by doing a 3-strand with little wraps at the sides and pulling the outside wires to the back and front, but I defer to your expertise. I'm also going to try with a larger wire for a simple wrap.
for the pear shape I'd do it same way as I did the rectangle, where bottom is same as this piece, but top has the wires criss crossing. Then you can do this same bail if you like.
I think the oil is used when it is transported to prevent the stones from getting damaged, so whenever there are batches of stones they are usually transported in oil to sort of create a buffer when they touch each other.
@@OxanaCrafts ah ok thank you so much for reply I got a labradorite first time recently it arived and seemed wet oily textured for a second i worried what this liquid was when i finally got through to the sender he or she told me it was oil i thought again did this mean i have to maintain them this way,,,your answer was very helpful thanks again oxana
Yes I always buy those more expensive metals a little bit at a time, since I don't work with them as often as copper. Although people have been telling me the gold specifically is not available unless you are a business and provide the necessary documents to Rio. I provided all that to them long ago, so I didn't even realise that the gold was only available to me due to that.
I also love your work, they're amazing and inspiring ❤ I do have a,question as well, I've been looking a design for an arrowhead. Did you made a video that I didn't catch to see?
you can use round, just use a thin gauge like 26 or 28 and do a weaving pattern with it instead of just wrapping it around and around so it will be less likely to unravel
I just bought from Rio Grande, not wholesale. They didn’t ask me for any information. If you prefer wholesale you just have to give them you federal ID number.
I FEEL LIKE IVE SEENA VIDEO THAT U HAVE DONE OF THIS ALREADY. BECAUSE I KNOW I HAVE A PENDANT MADE LIKE THAT. THAT IM PRETTY SURE IT WAS U I SAW IT FROM IN THE PAST. OR MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE. IDK. HARD TO TELL WHEN A LOT OF UR VIDEOS REALLY REALLY LOOK ALL THE SAME. DEJAVU
yes in the beginning I show a similar pendant from previous tutorial that this was inspired by. Someone had asked me if I could make the top mirror the bottom, so that's the difference in this video.
It's a beautiful pendant design without being complicated. I love your videos.❤
Thank you so much 😀

Simple and elegant! Really like the bail area as you did it and also liked the idea of trying it backwards! Thanks, Oxana! 💙
Thanks so much!

Not as a pendant, as a wall hanging.@@OxanaCrafts

Thank you so much!!

Your work is amazing and so creative!
Super pretty and cool ❤️🙏
This is great looking. Can we do a pear shaped the same way? I have same stones but pear shaped.
for the pear shape I'd do it same way as I did the rectangle, where bottom is same as this piece, but top has the wires criss crossing. Then you can do this same bail if you like.
@@OxanaCrafts okay love your work
I have seen it at Hobby Lobby.
Amazing! I love it!
Thank you! 😄
Muito lindo parabéns pelo seu trabalho valeu.

Where did you say you got your wire? I love your videos- you explain so clearly 😊
Thank you., riogrande.com
Lovely, thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome!
Hey oxana do you know if oil does anything to preserve labradorite
I think the oil is used when it is transported to prevent the stones from getting damaged, so whenever there are batches of stones they are usually transported in oil to sort of create a buffer when they touch each other.
@@OxanaCrafts ah ok thank you so much for reply I got a labradorite first time recently it arived and seemed wet oily textured for a second i worried what this liquid was when i finally got through to the sender he or she told me it was oil i thought again did this mean i have to maintain them this way,,,your answer was very helpful thanks again oxana
Rio Grande does sell smaller quantities sterling and gold. They are not wholesale only. The copper they sell is in larger quantities.
Yes I always buy those more expensive metals a little bit at a time, since I don't work with them as often as copper. Although people have been telling me the gold specifically is not available unless you are a business and provide the necessary documents to Rio. I provided all that to them long ago, so I didn't even realise that the gold was only available to me due to that.
SÃO LINDAS AS SUAS PEÇAS! ! EU GOSTARIA MUITO QUE VOCÊ ENSINASSE A FAZER CORRENTINHAS PARA COLOCAR ESSES PINGENTES LINFOS OBRIGADA! 🌷🌷🌷
Amazing
What pliers and cutter are you using? Thanks!
My pliers(Xuron Needle Nose): amzn.to/2Vghbyw
My Wire Cutters(Xuron Micro-Shear): amzn.to/2UcRWg4
I also love your work, they're amazing and inspiring ❤ I do have a,question as well, I've been looking a design for an arrowhead. Did you made a video that I didn't catch to see?
I've never wrapped an arrowhead, I don't have any stones shaped like that. Will try to get some in the future
@@OxanaCrafts awesome! Thank you 🙏🏻 and Many blessings
Seen on Amazon also( wire)
What if I don't have half round wire?
you can use round, just use a thin gauge like 26 or 28 and do a weaving pattern with it instead of just wrapping it around and around so it will be less likely to unravel
Can we use 17 gauge square wire? I can't find 20 gauge square wire.
17 will be too thick and hard to bend. You could use 19 gauge if you can find that. Or perhaps use round wire instead for the base wires.
@@OxanaCrafts thank you so much for the answer, suggestion and your kindness. Have a nice work.
SO DAWG ON CUTE
I just bought from Rio Grande, not wholesale. They didn’t ask me for any information. If you prefer wholesale you just have to give them you federal ID number.
great to know they allow non wholesale orders!
