My head was down, and I was working on a project. Then I heard you, "Say it was one wire" , and I quickly looked at the screen, and I was shocked at the one wire piece. That's such a simple, clever idea. Again bravo, your just awesome. Everything about this video is so cleaver. So different I love it.

[@blksunshine459]

Woman you just read my mind. I literally JUST SAID......I wish she would show us that frame. Yes yes please. 🙌

[@4girlsjewelry]

Will do it:) It’s so nice… u can add anything, beads, bones, sticks of seed beads

[@blksunshine459]

@@4girlsjewelry AGREED!!!. I LOVE HOW YOU CALL THEM BONES.......THAT'S MY HUSBANDS NAME!. SO YOU KNOW I WAS ALL OVER THIS ONE, and I have an idea for when I ( hopefully) can learn it. I'm still trying herringbone...omg, it does not like me, But, I have done over 40 pieces practicing and I think I'm just now...MAYBE starting to get it. I watch your link, chain and herringbone pendants OVER AND OVER X's 100. I think I might be doing it to tight. Idk. Practice practice practice. I FULLY BELIEVE IN IT. 🙏 FOR U AND YOUR FAMILY......P.S TELL YOUR HUSBAND THANK YOU FOR HIS ASSISTANCE ON THE VIDEO

@@4girlsjewelry Honey I couldn't be more proud of you! Even though we have never met face to face, I tell my family that you are my you tube buddy. I am proud that I was raised by my mother who has the creative craft in her bones, and the long line of women before her. I'm grateful for youtube who bring people together who would never had known each other prior. I notice that every time I go on the channel you have more numbers. One day you will have so many followers that you won't be able to keep up with all your comment's. I hope y'all never forget me. I pray for you, your family and country. I take my prayers very seriously. We can't always ask, we have to give back as well. CONGRATULATIONS TANYA

I have never use a torch before .How much does the copper stick shrink? All of your Jewelry Tutorials are awesome and you do a great job teaching what you do .Thank You for sharing your work with us

[@4girlsjewelry]

I takes about half inch or less, depends on how much u hold ur wire in flame

[@friedagilmer8360]

Just when I think you can't possibly do a piece I love more, you do! I do have a question, do you use liver of sulfur before you wrap? Also, do you use any type finished on your pieces? Thank you for being so generous with your talents.

[@4girlsjewelry]

I always use liver of sulfur after I finish whole project and use ProtectaClear as a sealer to prevent tarnishing ( from Everbrite)

[@bahcezar]

Colll

[@4girlsjewelry]

Thank You 🙏!!!!! I did not hear from u for a while

[@marciashedeck6342]

Tania I so enjoy watching your videos and getting inspiration. I am curious... do you not pickle your balled wires after you torch? Do you oxidize the dirty metal and then clean? Please share your finishing process. Thank you

[@4girlsjewelry]

I never pickle I just oxidize dirty metal, and then polish

I love this. I would live to know where you get all your beautiful beads and gems you use in you jewelry? Thanks for sharing.

[@4girlsjewelry]

♥️ lots of gems and stones I get from interGem ( check when they have shows in ur town) I love to see stones, touch them, so that is why i go to this shows and ALWAYS coming home with new selections:):):)

[@michelletanner948]

I live in a very small town and not many gem, rock or mineral shows. There are some in other counties but with gas prices it's hard to get to them. Can you order from the place you get your gems and beads from?

[@4girlsjewelry]

@@michelletanner948 I will ask when I will visit next time, maybe they have website… I get stoned from same people for few years now, so I know they have very good stuff and the best prices… I will ask, and give u all the info

[@sarahtuffery3697]

Can you do a video on the frame? For the necklace

[@4girlsjewelry]

Will do for sure

[@sheilafendall1707]

So you have to either finish the ‘bones’ once attached to the coiled piece or try and attach each bone as you make the coil? Is this correct? This part isn’t explained in this tutorial.

[@4girlsjewelry]

Whenever it is easier for you… I try to inspire to create, not copy my work… we all can make incredible stuff, when we r inspired

[@kristineburgdorff2429]

I love your designs Where do you get your inspiration from?

[@4girlsjewelry]

Thank You!!! It’s funny, I can create something after being outside and looking at architecture, sometimes just from the nature…. But I love to incorporate unusual techniques from all kinds of knots, macramé, u name it:)

[@hippiehikerr2180]

You make amazing jewelry! The wire you work with is it hard or half hard? Thanks!

[@4girlsjewelry]

It’s copper, and i use old electrical wires When I work with sterling i use half hard for frames and dead soft for weaving, same for copper if u order ur wires I would recommend ( works for me)

[@4girlsjewelry]

Please SHARE about my channel ♥️ THANK YOU

[@jo351]

Do you have a video about how to use a torch to make the ball pins you use? If not would you please consider making one? I have a torch but I'm not quite sure how to use it and I'd like a tutorial.

yes, have to check

[@juliejelaco5208]

Hello, so I thought I bought raw copper and when I tried to burn it, it did nothing at all except saw it turning silver. Can you recommend a place where you get your wire from . Thank you

[@4girlsjewelry]

I collect old electrical wires , they r 99 % pure copper For sterling i use Rio Grande

[@rosanalbandian2572]

A question regarding your torch: Does the flame automatically stop when you take your finger off the gas button? Or do you have to use your hand to turn the knob off?

[@4girlsjewelry]

Mine turns off itself… but maybe because I have very old model, I know everything is updated those days

[@rosanalbandian2572]

@@4girlsjewelry thank you
