Thank you so much. Sometimes I wonder if people think I'm mad! Ha ha. I talk to the beads all the time. It's a bit of a process designing a necklace, but we get there in the end.
It's great to see your thought process. I get frustrated with myself when my original idea doesn't look right. I LOVE how you show how to take time to see how things lay and feel. Thank you!
Thank you so much Denise. Sometimes I wonder if people are interested in seeing me design but I've had lots of comments about that on this one. I really appreciate your feedback.
So many beads! We sure filled this kit to the brim. So glad to hear you are feeling better Carol. I love how this kit was a perfect match for your Spring/Summer color palette. Such a lovely design tutorial! Thank you for opening the kit and sharing your inspiration with us. xo Kristen
Thank you so much Kristen. It is always a pleasure. I absolutely loved this kit. I'm actually thinking I need to order more of the purple knobbly beads so I can make earrings. 😃
This was just what I needed! I am not alone trying to find the proper proportions - sizes of the beads that work for balance and primarily aesthetics! This helps me with my Style Maker question in the Discussion Forum!! Thanks, Carol!
Thank you Kari. Designing is always a challenge and sometimes it works out great and sometimes you have to take it apart and try again. It's about being brave enough to try things and if they don't work, don't be discouraged, just try again.
Love your channel. You’re so informative and your video timing is perfect for an adhd Artist (me). I scrolled through several sites, yours is the best. I can’t wait to explore more of your videos!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. The matching scarf was unintentional as I didn't know what colour were in the pack. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened it.
Hello Carol or Karen( I've written both names coz I was not that clear about your name) your video j6st popped up yesterday n you can't imagine how happy I was to to watch it coz I've been in search of one. Really enjoyed watching it. Like your esthetic sense 👌 👏 n the way you explain each n every step clearly. Thanks for sharing n looking forward to see more in future. Take care n God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️
I love that your process, moving/changing, is very similar to how I do it. I’d love to get that bead subscription, but the cost of shipping to Canada is too costly. The way you say “aqua” is adorable. 😊
Thank you Marjorie. Ha ha. When we lived in Canada, you Canadians all thought it was weird. 😆I completely understand regarding the cost of shipping. Try living downunder - it's probably 3 times the price. I'm lucky enough that Soft Flex send them to me free of change in return for a video like this.
Thank you so much Diana. I left an Amazon link in the blog post to a similar product. You can find that here: www.affordablejewellerysupplies.co.nz/blogs/beading-projects/so-many-beads-was-this-the-best-design-choice-soft-flex-design-challenge
@@The_Stylish_Maker Saw pics where it's 4 Fibonacci figures in one, golden ratio. Very small lasercut it would be like texture. I guess.... patterns drawn first, and put around your wrist, would also show how it looks curved from different angles.
I enjoy watching you create! I make jewelry too and am always surprised to see that you don't use jump rings unless you want to change direction of the hang. May I ask, why is that? They help with keeping the dangles from kinking. Please elaborate. Thanks 😊
That's a good question. It really depends on what I'm creating. (I assume you mean between my components with loops on either end.) I do find that sometimes using a jump ring between the components can actually make them sit incorrectly. I don't really have the problem with things kinky much so I had never even thought about it. Sorry, I can't elaborate any further than that.
To be honest, I'm not sure. Soft Flex do ship to worldwide so you could purchase it directly from them. These beads came from a monthly subscription box. softflexcompany.com/
For this one I used the Soft Flex that came in the kit. Here's a link to the accompanying blog post which has links to everything I used. www.affordablejewellerysupplies.co.nz/blogs/beading-projects/so-many-beads-was-this-the-best-design-choice-soft-flex-design-challenge

I love watching you evaluate the beads going into your piece. It's fascinating to hear you talk through your process.

That's a BEAUTIFUL necklace!

I was going yes no yes no when you were deciding which beads to use. 😂😂😂 We agreed on every bead!!! It turned out gorgeous as usual!!!💜💜💜
Ha ha, thank you. I do that every time. I put things in, take them out, move them around. It's just the process.

Lovely colors, Carol! I really need to get myself one of those special crimping pliers/tools for when I repair necklaces!
Thank you so much, Liz. The Magical Crimping Pliers are amazing. You can find them on Amazon here: amzn.to/3Q6xDQI
Omg. What a gorgeous variety of beads xx anyway I'll carry on watching I'm only about 5 mins in but needed to comment xx
Thank you so much, Natalie. Yes, as soon as I opened this pack I thought, "this is me".
I love the necklace. The beads are awesome. They also match your scarf. Another beautiful design. Always enjoy watching your videos. Thank you.💜💙

Hi Rita, my name is Carol. I understand the confusion. I'm glad TH-cam recommended my videos to you. Thank you so much.
Love it! I have the kit!
Thank you Susan. Now you can play with the beads and make something fun too!
Love your earrings.

Fibonacci numbers jewelry
Maybe an idea for that lasercutter.
Fibonacci numbers in nature could give inspiration.
Yeah, definitely. Thank you. We are currently looking at different kinds of patterns and using elements from nature like the nautilus shell.
@@The_Stylish_Maker
Saw pics where it's 4 Fibonacci figures in one, golden ratio.
Very small lasercut it would be like texture.
I guess.... patterns drawn first, and put around your wrist, would also show how it looks curved from different angles.
I have to get my necklace tray out. I forget to use it.
Ha ha! How do you cope without it! I would be lost. Thanks for watching, Nadine.

Where can I get these beads in uk?
To be honest, I'm not sure. Soft Flex do ship to worldwide so you could purchase it directly from them. These beads came from a monthly subscription box. softflexcompany.com/
What type of wire is that ??
