Aaand it seems like the volume is still a bit too low. I'll address that again on my next video! Thank you all for being patient as I figure out my new setup and editing software :-)
@@FantasiaElegance I am still in the learning process finding it a little challenging mostly a vision thing lol just wanted to ask you if selling on Amazon is recommended or not?
Hang in there, it definitely gets easier! You know, I've heard a lot of debate about Amazon handmade from other sellers. I've never personally used it, though. Etsy has been making some changes that many sellers are not happy with, so I've been contemplating looking into Amazon handmade or even opening my own website. But I'm afraid I don't have any knowledge to share on it just yet ;)
All your tips and ideas are sooo appreciated and the way that you pause so that we get a look at what you have done, great! Not too many do that. Love your tutorials!
After following you for many years, this is one jewelry piece of yours that I believe I can actually create. Your jewelry making tutorials are sometimes a step or 2 beyond my level; but always beautiful.
I made this using 18 gauge copper, and I did two loops outside each rose. Hammered it a bit, it's looking really pretty. I find that the 18 gauge keeps those arches stiff. I love this design, thank you!
Thank you for this nice tutorial. I usually make intricate pieces and like to make some simpler things in between. This will be perfect for those times I want to wrap up some quick things!
Thank you, Kimm! That would be pretty - just not sure how you would do it! Maybe if the beads had a hole large enough for the ring wires, you could just slide them on in the swoopy spaces before the curls (if that makes sense)
just a quick ?? is there a difference between 20 gauge wire and 20 gauge dead soft ?? the reason I asked is I ordered 20 gauge and it seem's really hard to work with, especially the wrap's . I find that to be the most difficult for me, but last year I made most of your ring's and they look good, so I started again and it's not so easy this year. so maybe you can reply and help me out. tks, love your video's. Nicky
Thanks for watching, Nicky! So gauge refers to the width (diameter) of the wire, while dead soft refers to the temper (hardness) of the wire. I like to use dead soft wire for almost everything, because it's easiest to work with. Is it possible your new wire isn't dead soft? Often craft store wires won't really have a hardness rating and can vary greatly. Also, certain types of metal are naturally harder than others, even when they are rated dead soft. Here's a helpful chart: i.etsystatic.com/5613242/r/il/ec9e2c/467918276/il_794xN.467918276_ailt.jpg You can see that dead soft copper is near the top (softest) which is why I recommend it for new wire wrappers. Here's an assortment of dead soft copper wires on Amazon: amzn.to/37m0msO If you want silver color, Artistic Wire is also easy to work with and I think fits in the dead soft category pretty reliably: amzn.to/2Kv2nsH
Sorry....Former English teacher here, addressing a pet peeve. The phrase is "on EACH side" not "on EITHER side." When you say on "either" side it means there is an option: on ONE side OR the other. On "each" side means exactly that: on BOTH sides. On a positive note, I am a multimedium artist and find that you are an extremely talent artist, and I enjoy and appreciate your tutorials .
Hi Arlene! That can be super tricky. It may just be your technique (gripping the wires too hard) or your wires (too soft, taking marks easily) or your pliers. Try wrapping your plier tips in painter's tape and see if that helps :) I also have a whole video addressing how to avoid marks: th-cam.com/video/Fo8EgII_xp0/w-d-xo.html
Out of all the people I watch I learn more from you then all the others.
And, your work is always flawless!
I love this, going to try it tonight!

So beautiful and unique...I wonder if there is a way to add a small crystal of 3? That would be astounding but I don't have your vision...
Thank you, Kimm! That would be pretty - just not sure how you would do it! Maybe if the beads had a hole large enough for the ring wires, you could just slide them on in the swoopy spaces before the curls (if that makes sense)

Can you use 18 gauge dead soft if you don't have 20 gauge?
Hermoso anillo gracias por compartir

Tks now I understand the difference and I did find some dead soft and it is easier to work with.

I don't them all at this time but I like whit yellow & rose gold filled
Bravissima!!! 👏👏👏 ❤
I have a question. How do you keep the wire from getting all scratched up while doing this? I've tried to be careful but keep getting a lot of marks.
Hi Arlene! That can be super tricky. It may just be your technique (gripping the wires too hard) or your wires (too soft, taking marks easily) or your pliers. Try wrapping your plier tips in painter's tape and see if that helps :) I also have a whole video addressing how to avoid marks: th-cam.com/video/Fo8EgII_xp0/w-d-xo.html
I,ve tried to do the simple ring, but it dienst work out and i donut knowhow why😢
👍okey
