I hope you keep making videos, although I've been a metalsmith for years, I'm now experimenting with beads, so I'll take all I can learn. I love your simple style of explaining, it's soothing and tantalizing at the same time. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Good talk! I particularly like how you pointed out that jewelry can be taken apart and reworked. Sometimes as our skills develope, it is nice to have another go at a design, especially if we are fond of a particular bead.
Great advice! Appreciated the pep talk portion. I well remember how frustrating just learning to crimp can be (still more crimp beads in my carpets and floorboards than in my actual toolbox, I'm afraid.) Also loved watching you take apart your perfectly lovely necklace. I'd just point out that we can reuse a good portion of old wire as well- if the useable part has become too short for a necklace make it a bracelet, too short for a bracelet, make some earring dangles! I try not to throw anything away while also trying hard not to become a major hoarder. I make mosaics out of broken beads and use recoverable bits of metal to melt down to sand cast pendants and charms. Waste not, want not... well, not quite as much, at least until I step into a place like Beads, Inc! Then I want! Want! WANT! NEED!!! I would go broke working there!
Happy to have found your channel and to see that there is someone out there as excited about jewellery making as I am. This is a delightful avocation for me. Furthermore, I do believe that you have wonderful guidance and insights for all levels from beginner’s to experienced creators. Looking forward to learning more from your videos and best wishes to you and your endeavors.
You are so talented and also such a wonderful person! I feel like you read my mind with the negative self talk point! But it’s so true, we can just take it apart. Thank you for your videos and your brand, they are so inspiring and I love love your art!!!!
Thank you for the videos! I was interested in chain-linking, but a little intimidated like you said. I purchased your Brahma Necklace Kit to learn how and now I'm designing my own chain-link necklaces with other materials from your shop. So fun. Thank you!
Danielle Mendoza thank you so much for your kind feedback! I’m so happy to hear that you purchased the Brahma kit and enjoyed it! I appreciate you watching and your support 😊💗📿
SO true ! I have made some really cool Larimar jewelry and later (like the next summer) take it apart and make something totally new. A friend gave me a small bag of broken necklaces her mom had and I made them some necklaces and earrings out of them that were nothing like what the originals had looked like. That's part of the fun !!! Creating and RE creating !!! Thanks for this video !!
Great video.I have often taken apart necklaces and bracelets and just repurposed them and made other cool necklaces and bracelets. Like you say, it''s only wire. LOL

Where did you get the wooden circle board from?
How do you store the gems and beads and crystals once you cut the strands?
