Walking, chewing gum and breathing - for me that that is often a challenge. I cannot fathom how you remain focused, so pleasant, wirewrap cabochons without cussing ... muchless stay in-frame. You and Randy are resilient. You revamped your business when the pandemic changed our world. Many big corporations folded. You 2 continue to thrive and grow. I see no reason to question your choices - obviously they are all winning decisions. Much respect and appreciation for all you do. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I love this!!!! I’ve made something similar in hoop earrings but love the idea of putting a cab and turning it into a pendant…love the mixed wire too. I’ve done the braid with silver and red that turned out gorgeous. Your teaching method is so encouraging!!!!! Important to have that calming voice when I get frustrated trying to mirror what you’re doing!! Just ordered the kit and can’t wait to get it!!!!!
I really enjoy your tutorials and videos. It’s great that you have mentioned other wrappers that are great as well. Just wanted to mention an other wrapper that has some really neat tutorials as well in case you haven’t seen hers and that is Lan Anh Handmade.
Try sharpening your cutters by cutting through 6 to 8 layers of aluminum foil folded up together. That's how you sharpen scissors, it works really well. You just cut 6 to 8 cuts through 8 layers of foil, it'll sharpen your scissors/cutters.
Such a fun project! I love your style of tutorials, so organic and real. I think your catch phrase is “And that is okay!” Look forward to making this one.
Thank you, Dana! Practice makes progress, and we often see the flaws in our own work more prominently than in the work of others! Be kind and patient with yourself and you'll get where you want to go
Absolutely beautiful. I make I think almost everything that you have demoed . I was wondering how long did you cut each of the wires for the cabochon? Thank you for your hard work. I'm glad you took a break for a while. We all need that.
Heya, Barbie! I have had that happen on their silver plated silver, but I have very good results and durability with their titanium tone silver plated wire. I hope this is helpful to you!
Enjoy your craft along but can’t buy your kits as I’m in Canada is there a way that you could possibly give an idea of materials needed ahead of time so we can follow with you?
Great projects this month, thanks Von. You know I love my booty boxes! Hahaha, every month is a treasure. Super excited for this month's because greeeeeen is my favorite color! Eeeee. All those green cabs look so delicious, can't wait!
@Back to Eath Creations where do I start watching, or how do I find your wire wrapping masterclass, is there a place where they are together or do I just have to pick them out of the crafting video? I can't get a kit right now but if you still sell them I will buy them in the future. Thanks, im a complete bigginer.
About two weeks ago I bought a jewelers table vice for 24.00 from jewelry supply company. I bought two so I didn't have to pay for shipping. It's really cool because it swivels and even spins 360*. It's so cool
I think it would make an awesome Bracelet mixing up the wires like you did the Pendant. I think it is awesome that you are into pretty much all the crafts that I am into ,I paint Crochet and have Made many of my daughters clothes (When they were little) and my granddaughters also .I do not Knit though . I am a self taught sewist and self taught crocheter ,Self taught painter I have been Gardening, sewing ,and crocheting since I was around 17 -18 yrs . i have way too many houseplants and will try and send you more as I can .It is hare to be able to get to the post office as i do not drive anymore .My car died out and my feller will not allow me to drive anymore. Wish we lived close to you so I could share more i would probably Bug you so much that you would hide and not open your door LOL
Yes baby ( Yvonne) they need to try to make a video before ever saying because you realize it more of yourself then most ! but they do need to try it or order someone’s book and follow it I’m more screw up from books then ever watching a vid !
Lets all go for it.. A new exercise... Smush and Tuck ,Smush then Tuck ,Just one more time ..Smush then tuck . Love your Videos and I am not making fun of you .I love your manerisems . You and Randy make a great pair Glad yall found each other
I agree about expensive wire snips not always being the best. I have two pairs of xuron snips and they are rubbish compared to my £5 random Amazon brand ones that were designed for electronics. Not always worth paying out for the “premium brands”
I start in the middle so the number of wires is doubled when I fold it, and I fold it to make a loop for the bracelet or bail. For a bracelet we could just cut twice as many wires at half the length and finish the ends off differently; this may be easier, especially if we didn't have access to a clamp.
I want to try the Braided Bracelet but dont have a clamp like yours .I have Bought a lot of tools and dont want to keep putting money into how can I say it ,I am in poor health and Would love to leave my products to my daughter (the One that is interested ) Is there anything that you can Recommend To use except keep Buying Products ,Is there a smaller one that you could recommend .Also I ordered one of the Kits and and would like for you to tell me which month the kit is . ..I am so sorry to bother you . Please ,If you see this send me a me an Email . Love your Background Music, and, The Rain Pitter pattering on the roof

Don’t be sorry , I’m learning and so are you that’s a wonderful thing
love how your using different color wires and all the encouragement just learning and I've have been learning a lot beautiful.
I enjoy your videos. You are an amazingly talented person.

Thank you so much, Karen! This video is for March 2023: we have a slightly different kit for this year. The video will be releasing later today ❤️

That's how you sharpen scissors, it works really well. You just cut 6 to 8 cuts through 8 layers of foil, it'll sharpen your scissors/cutters.
Well done. The back is almost pretty enough to be the front!
Look beautiful ❤❤❤
I just love your work. You explain everything really good. Thank you!
Such a fun project! I love your style of tutorials, so organic and real. I think your catch phrase is “And that is okay!” Look forward to making this one.
This is a really beautiful pendant! Love it and can't wait to give it a try!
I bought some soft plastic clamps at the dollar tree awhile back 4 big 4 small & i use them all the time.
Me too! 🌺
This is my go to wire wrapping for my no whole gemstone 💎... to new at wire wrapping and enjoy this craft ❤️💋
Beautiful pieces; flaws 'nd all
Very talented.. I wish my items looked as clean as yours. Perhaps in time and more practice.
Thank you, Dana! Practice makes progress, and we often see the flaws in our own work more prominently than in the work of others! Be kind and patient with yourself and you'll get where you want to go
Beautiful bracelet
Absolutely beautiful. I make I think almost everything that you have demoed .
I was wondering how long did you cut each of the wires for the cabochon?
Thank you for your hard work. I'm glad you took a break for a while. We all need that.
Me too, on the cabachon what length, please
I used about 20" of wire for each length for the cabochons
Thank you Yvonne ❤️ I love it 🥰
I’m enjoying learning from you ❤️
I didn't have a 🗜️ so I used the dresser drawer and it worked just fine 😊
Wow great work!! They are beautiful, love the braided look❤❤
Love that bezel
So excited! Just signed up for the big craft along membership...can't wait....he he he.:)
It is really beautiful. I love your work. Thanks for sharing..😊

Do you ever find that the silver plated para wire yellows over time? 😳
Heya, Barbie! I have had that happen on their silver plated silver, but I have very good results and durability with their titanium tone silver plated wire. I hope this is helpful to you!

I wish I could get your boxes in the UK, love the look of all your cabs xx
Hey Von! Got my first booty box :) I'm excited to try it out!
I think it would make an awesome Bracelet mixing up the wires like you did the Pendant.

1st of all I could never stay in frame. Don't know how anyone does it and 2 that's just freaking cool.
Its the biggest challenge for me! Thank you; I really love this design!
Yes baby ( Yvonne) they need to try to make a video before ever saying because you realize it more of yourself then most ! but they do need to try it or order someone’s book and follow it I’m more screw up from books then ever watching a vid !
I have done 6 but not 9 I'm going to have to try it just looks good how long did you cut your wire for the cabochons for the necklace
I used 20" per piece of wire for the cabochon
Beautiful design ❤️🇩🇰
Are you using half round on cab?
Are you able to ship to Hawaii? I know we are a USA, yet not all businesses honor that fact.
We do ship to Hawaii!
how do you order your kits
A cheap diamond file would sharpen them nips right up with just a couple swipes 😉
There is only one craft along with von videos???
Where is the celtic bezel tutorial?
Lets all go for it.. A new exercise... Smush and Tuck ,Smush then Tuck ,Just one more time ..Smush then tuck . Love your Videos and I am not making fun of you .I love your manerisems . You and Randy make a great pair Glad yall found each other

That would be real dainty with some small beads in between the braids.
What are you charging the Canadian customers?…
We do not ship outside of the US so we don't have any Canadian customers
Why don't you start at one end, instead of the middle?
I start in the middle so the number of wires is doubled when I fold it, and I fold it to make a loop for the bracelet or bail. For a bracelet we could just cut twice as many wires at half the length and finish the ends off differently; this may be easier, especially if we didn't have access to a clamp.
4 and quarter inches or 11 cm
I tried having a channel doing acrylic nails... I gave up! Recording acrylic on yourself is bit easy at all
I want to try the Braided Bracelet but dont have a clamp like yours .I have Bought a lot of tools and dont want to keep putting money into how can I say it ,I am in poor health and Would love to leave my products to my daughter (the One that is interested ) Is there anything that you can Recommend To use except keep Buying Products ,Is there a smaller one that you could recommend .Also I ordered one of the Kits and and would like for you to tell me which month the kit is . ..I am so sorry to bother you .
Please ,If you see this send me a me an Email . Love your Background Music, and, The Rain Pitter pattering on the roof
Every time I take a piece I completely hate to a show , it sells first ? It just goes to show you. 1 mans trash is another mans treasure
tres jolie, dommage que ce soit souvent hors champ
