Hi Luisa. I don’t usually leave comments but I had to tell you that the excellence of your work and the quality of your videos are a gift to jewelry makers everywhere. There are some people who are a disaster with tools and design and whose work is messy and it’s difficult to be inspired by their videos. You have raised the bar! Thank you so much!

[@renaeduran8049]

Well said, I totally agree!

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Aww…thank you Joee. I try to make quality videos so that the viewers enjoy them as much as possible. It’s a commitment I made to myself after being on KZbin for a while and learning how valuable everyone’s time is. I strongly believe videos should be delivered as efficiently as possible 🙂

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you Renae 🙂

[@Wendy-WackyWomanCreations]

I agree.. It's all so true

[@marykettler8455]

Luisa, Beautiful Braided Necklace!💙💜💛💚💗 Your techniques are so inspiring and your jewelry designs are outstanding. Thanks for sharing your creative designs. Love 💘and Hugs 🌞

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you so much Mary for the lovely comments. You’re so kind 🙂

[@debbiecobb5757]

Luisa, you are so incredibly talented in so many areas, I can tell you love photography, your nature shots are gorgeous! You are also a very very talented artist, in so many areas. You are a person who is not afraid to expand your boundaries, you give it all a try! I really like that in a person, I too am a doer, I'm not afraid to try things at least once. This necklace shows one area of your talents, it's beautiful! I'm so glad you healed with no lasting complications and your back to making beautiful pieces and tutorials for us to watch, I look forward to them! You are also so easy to watch and I find you to be relaxing to watch, I never worry that your designs won't work, I have watched other you tubers make jewelry and it stresses me out, they try this and it doesn't work so they start over just to find the alternative doesn't work as well either. The thought and planning process you do is relaxing and rewarding, thank you for doing and being you! 💕

[@phyllispeterson5800]

The intro music lowers my stress levels so much. Thanks

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Oh thank you Phyllis! I’m so glad! 🥰

I really enjoyed watching this video. Just the different colors and shapes blended together is beautiful. I love random style jewelry making at times. This necklace is so pretty. Thank you Luisa.

[@susanbellport8838]

This video was absolutely stunning. I’m actually making another necklace totally different than this one but I have your video on and I find myself glancing over to see your techniques. You’re just like a friend sitting here with me! Sue🐝

[@mooshierebarcak4953]

I love this. It really got my creative mind going! So many beads types you could use pearls, shells, etc. Thank you SO SO much for sharing this with us!!

[@litafelix8436]

Gorgeous necklace. 🥰

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

[@ohsuzyq5297]

Hello Luisa, Love your beautiful necklace! I especially enjoy your tutorials. They're so concise and easy to follow. I also appreciate how you explain each step with detail on what to look for and what to be cautious of when tasking each step. I must say you're a wonderful teacher. I'm a newbie and your tutorials have truly inspired me. Thank you for the great preparation that you do. It truly reflects your love for your craft. 😊👍❤

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you Cindy 🙂

[@renaeduran8049]

Louisa, I think when you fell at the beach your fall rattled something in your creative brain. You have come back with the most amazing ideas. Oh my gosh, you amaze me girl!

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Lol…thank you Renae! 😂 the fall certainly did rattle a few things! I think also I had time on my hands to study my bead boxes and come up with design ideas 🙂

[@beachingmermaid]

Stunning 😊

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you Maria 🙂

[@mariaalanis1078]

This was a wonderful necklace!!! You did it so elegantly with so much ease. I can't wait to make mine.😅

[@karenthomas2302]

Beautiful, tfs.

[@terrycarey6323]

So glad to see you are well. Really enjoyed your tutorial.

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you Terry 🙂

[@yomama8873]

This is amazing thank you 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you 🙂

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

G'day Luisa, I really enjoyed this video especially because my passion is anything freeform. I find it boring and frustrating sticking to an exact pattern, Love the colours you chose, I am like you, I LOVE colour! thanks for sharing! have a great day!

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Aww thank you so much! Yes, we definitely are very alike. I feel the same way about making free form designs. I love them! And I especially love mixing a bunch of colors. The more colorful, the better! 🙂

[@Squeak61]

Pretty ❤

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you 😊

[@dcj9745]

That orange flower bead finishes it so nicely. I like what you did with the bead caps. Their boxes seem to be changing. I may have to subscribe again

[@Wendy-WackyWomanCreations]

Your designs are so gorgeous . I am so glad I found your channel. This is too intricate for me but I enjoy watching you work.

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you for the nice comments. Yes, I would say it’s a little bit fiddly 🙂

[@marybethg4861]

The necklace looks so pretty! I am going to try it.

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Awesome Mary! Do try it! 🙂

[@peggygreeby5065]

What an amazing necklace. I never realized how much planning, besides the basic design, went into jewelry making, it's truly an intricate process, but you make it look easy. Love the necklace, and enjoyed the scenery. Looking forward to the next creation, take care, Luisa.

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you Peggy. Yes, there certainly is a lot of planning. You have to be able to turn your vision into reality…and takes a little planning for sure! 😊

[@esperanzamartinez9096]

It's amazing how you gradually build up a design ... I was stressing watching you sew the beads onto the wobbly chain! Not sure if I could handle that process myself!! So intricate and elegant .. you have a wonderful eye for combining colors and shapes .. love it!!

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you Esperanza. Yes, the beginning is a bit tricky but you have to keep adding beads. It gets easier and the piece gains shape when it’s all filled in 🙂

[@terrykayb1236]

WOW, Luisa, that was AMAZING to watch 🤩...such a fascinating technique & it looks so intricate...but you actually make it look fairly simple to accomplish! Prior to watching this, I thought the only ways to create a "rope" effect were either with kumihimo, or a spiral bead weaving technique, which I simply don't want to attempt, because of developing arthritis in my hands & failing eyesight. Sadly, at my age, I don't think I would really enjoy tiny seed bead weaving, as it just seems too "fiddly" for me...but it would never have occurred to me to use a piece of chain as a base for regular beads & larger seed beads...you're such a clever designer...and THANK YOU so much for sharing...it's something that I might even be able to find the courage (and PATIENCE) to try! Also, I'm so glad to see that you seem to be gaining more mobility in your wrist again...and especially happy to see that you're enjoying the last days of this summer out in the natural surroundings that you love so much! You really do have a knack for choosing beautiful music & filmography to back your tutorials...and we certainly appreciate it! Please take care, stay safe & be blessed, dear soul! 🤗🌹🙏

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Oh thank you Terry for the lovely feedback and compliments 🥰. Yes, this technique is rather unique because the finished product is more random and organic compared to kumihimo which is more structured. I know what you mean about failing eyesight and arthritis…I suffer from the same. I don’t notice it so much when I’m making jewelry though. I think it’s because I get so focused and involved in the art. But anyway, this technique can be a little fiddly with the chain but it’s also very forgiving if you stick to it and fill in the spaces with beads 🙂

[@marthajanehumphreys9088]

Hey I know its been awhile on his video, but I just needed this one ,and I just received your magic rods today ,I''ve been sick so it was a great surprise , I love tis video .and it will use up beads 🥰❤❤❤

[@diamondsandthings]

Your pieces always looks so great on you. Great piece. Your music reminded me of one of the stargate programs.

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you! I have always had an interest in space and the universe 😊 Hence my ending video clip 🙂

[@Serendipity7032]

😂Thank you for sharing, this project was a bit tricky but you presented in a very doable way. I noticed after watching you for the last 4 years how you will often say the project is so cute or so adorable! Do those descriptions mean differently in Australia than in the United States? My observation of so many of your work is elegant, lovely or beautiful not really cute or adorable! I’m asking because I’m just curious not at all meant as a criticism!

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Lol…this project was actually very challenging! 😂 But a good way to use up odd beads. About my descriptive words…sometimes I downplay my designs. While I certainly strive to create pieces that are beautiful, I prefer to let others decide if they find my work beautiful or elegant. It’s a way for me to stay humble and avoid sounding like I’m bragging about my own creations. 🙂

[@auntTdesigns]

Beautiful. That seems like too much work for me, that's why I don't have as beautiful jewelry as you make!!

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you. Yes, it definitely is a bit involved but worth the trouble 🙂 I’m sure your jewelry is just as beautiful. Everyone has their own special style 🙂

[@trishhooper]

Luisa what a beautiful design love it, love it!! Also looks very pretty on you hon. I am definitely going to try this with some chain attached rather than leather might be good. Will have to see though.

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Yes, please do try it! I think chain would be lovely. I almost opted for chain myself 🙂

[@ritasnow455]

Wonderful as usual! How is the hand doing?

[@esperanzamartinez9096]

Luisa would you do a tutorial on using string to "knot" beads together and create a bracelet or necklace? Like they do with pearls? I'm so curious about that technique .. but I have no experience with string or cord, bead tips, etc. I've watched a couple videos and it seems those pieces would have a nice soft drape. I'd love to hear your instruction and ideas on that technique. Thanks!

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Thank you Esperanza. I’ll definitely consider it. The thought has crossed my mind a lot lately but then I get a vision for a different design and I abandon the idea. But I’ll definitely keep it in mind 🙂

[@barbaragaskins3921]

Just lovely. You always inspire me. Could I ask if you have a video on a twisted rope I have 2 colors of size 8/0 seed beads and wanted to use them for that

[@MistyMoonDesigns]

Barbara thank you. Although I don’t have a video, I am very familiar with that technique. I’ll keep it in mind for a tutorial 🙂
