Beginner's wire wrap pendant - 'Moonlight'

[@robinwisniewski4586]

You guys know that there's a mixed audience watching your tutorials and learning you would think you would add in gauges as well as millimeters. I really want to give this one a try but I do not feel like going and looking up all those wires. Beautiful work though ! ❤

[@ImbaliCrafts]

We do try our best. Despite that, sometimes we get it wrong. If you watch any of my later tutorials, you will find that I have added both, mm and ga.

[@Ginny369]

Just Google converting mm to gauge and print it out.

[@Ginny369]

Stunning work best I’ve seen on web. ❤️

[@ImbaliCrafts]

@@Ginny369 Thank you so much!

[@ariadams2955]

Looking up wire guages seems to be a small price to pay for a beautiful gift like this..

[@lynaeeakettgreene7208]

I really do like this one. This is the second tutorial of yours that I've watched and I will definitely be watching more. I love how those swirls look

[@ImbaliCrafts]

Swirls look so amazing, and the best part is that they are so easy to make! So pleased you enjoyed it! :)

[@sandywall5266]

I'm just wondering do you have any tutorials for rectangular or Square cabochons with rather sharp edges? Thanks again for your wonderful tutorials. I sure learned a lot🤗🤗🤗

[@ImbaliCrafts]

Not yet! I keep wanting to do one! My to-do list keeps getting longer haha!

[@azinfandellvr]

I am so in love with this style! Thank you SO much for sharing! This may take me awhile & a lot of wire🤭..but I will figure it out before I leave this earth! 😆😉

[@ImbaliCrafts]

You will definitely get the hang of it! A bit of practice and Bob's your uncle (as they say haha)

[@ape413]

You’re an amazing teacher. Thank you for your gift and generosity.

[@ImbaliCrafts]

Thank you so much, and you are very welcome!

[@phyllisrock87]

I love your work! Thank you so much. I bought one of your kits.It arrived safe and sound from Scotland to Oregon! The stone and jewel are beautiful!! I did a practice wrap today. I’ll try it again tomorrow with your wire and stones! You are amazing! 💝

[@ImbaliCrafts]

That's awesome! So pleased you got it all. The postal system is a bit crazy at the moment! Hope you enjoy making this ! Thank you for your kind words! x

[@blutterfishful]

Thank you for your tutorial. It's so beautiful.

[@ImbaliCrafts]

Thank you!

[@sandywall5266]

Absolutely gorgeous pendant, I'm looking forward to using this technique you brilliantly talk for us thank you so much💖💖💖

[@ImbaliCrafts]

You are very welcome and thank you!

[@ShannonRathernotsay]

Thank you so much for this tutorial I did it !!! It took me 3 hours but I did it!!! I had issues with the small stone setting LOL I dropped that little stone so many times on the floor. Great tutorial.

[@ImbaliCrafts]

That still happens to me ALL THE TIME lol. I have to spend a few minutes on my knees before I can vacuum lol

[@door2yourheart]

Thank you for this great tutorial, I feel inspired to start working again!

[@ImbaliCrafts]

Aw that's fab! I hope you get your mojo back!

[@sisterhoodofur7456]

This one came out lovely as well.. at least for a first try 😄. THANK YOU 🙏

[@ImbaliCrafts]

Awesome! :)

[@letsbehonest01]

This is beautiful, and I will give it a try. Thank you for such a great tutorial.

[@ImbaliCrafts]

You’re welcome 😊

[@RoeRoe123]

Imbali this is a beautiful design and you make it look so simple! Think I'll try something similar with some stones I tumbled and in a more organic shape. Thank you for sharing 🤗

[@ImbaliCrafts]

Thank you!! :)

[@janinescheltens8067]

Very cool! I use a similar technique in the sense of folding base wires in half around the bail, really works for me! Love watching you work, very neat, inspirational!

[@ImbaliCrafts]

Thank you so much 😊. This is what I love about wire wrapping. There are a million ways to do the same thing and so often I think 'oh that's really clever, I would have never thought of doing it like that'.

[@flowing_through_life]

You’re work is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@ImbaliCrafts]

Thank you so much! Pleased you like it! :)

[@tbilly6201]

Love your work, thank you for sharing ✌️❤️

[@ImbaliCrafts]

Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@lindamalcovsky]

Very pretty and I must say you have hands of steel..so strong...I can not straighten my wires with my hands ughh lol

[@ImbaliCrafts]

I think I got used to after a while. You will, too! Once the metal warms up, it softens everything up so it isn't quite as hard as it looks. x

[@Nkcraftstore]

They are so beautiful😍💕

[@ImbaliCrafts]

Thank you! :)

[@rhondasquires7770]

Wonderful tout I’m new to this and a bit lost when the gauge of wire is not mentioned…..

[@ImbaliCrafts]

There is a link to a converter in the description for this one. My later tutorials all have the conversions added in.

[@elizabethrogers6897]

Imbali.....I LOVE your tutorials!!! I would like to know what stone you are using? It catches the light beautifully😍

[@ImbaliCrafts]

Thank you! These are aura quartz. I have just got some in stock this week and will be listing them shortly :)

[@elizabethrogers6897]

@@ImbaliCrafts Will you be listing the aura quartz cabs for sale or do I have to buy the whole kit? I love them but want to use them for a different project.

[@ImbaliCrafts]

@@elizabethrogers6897 I will list them separately as well as kits.

[@elizabethrogers6897]

@@ImbaliCrafts GAH....I shall be waiting!🥰

[@amylovesmilo]

Would 18 gauge work for the frame instead of 16 gauge? Beautiful tutorial!!

[@ImbaliCrafts]

It could but the frame would be not very strong and bend out of shape, but yes, you could. Especially if the stone is smaller.

[@donnamiller8266]

Beautiful! Thank you!

[@ImbaliCrafts]

Glad you like it!

I love the pleasant sound of your voice.. where are you from?

[@ImbaliCrafts]

Thank you so much! Pleased to know you like the sound of my voice I always think I sound like a cheese grater haha. I am from all over really. I was born in Germany, moved to France, back to Germany, Eswatini (Southern Africa) and the last few years we have lived in Scotland. (Hence my strange accent!) And you?

[@ariadams2955]

You DO NOT sound like a cheese grater! LOL... Ich kann ein bisschen Deutsch sprechen..... 6 years auf Deutsch.. in three years of high school.. i couldn't get enough of it!... I have been reduced to only a few words lately, alas it has been 50 years since Frau Mercer's classes! Lol..

Thanks!

[@thegoldengirls4evrofficial295]

Is the square wire dead soft?

[@ImbaliCrafts]

I always work with soft wire as I find hard and medium too springy.

[@choiminho3656]

Beatiful 😍 🌟🌹¡!

[@ImbaliCrafts]

Thank you! 😊

[@AngieCee1]

"It's a bit of a fiddly business at this time" lol love it. Gorgeous work! Thanks, from U.S. ❤

[@ImbaliCrafts]

Haha, I have been told before that it isn't something people say in the US. 😆

[@joannel5074]

where do you buy the stones ?

[@ImbaliCrafts]

I bought these on instagram. They don't come about often unfortunately. Search for aura quartz, that should turn up some results. Also try ebay.

[@joannel5074]

@@ImbaliCrafts thank you

[@lawrencewood460]

Beginner's in whose world??

[@ImbaliCrafts]

It's meant to be for people that have done some wrapping and want to learn how to set a stone in a pendant as it covers the most basic framing technique and doesn't have any complicated patterns to follow. Although I suppose you're right, the small stone setting isn't really a beginners technique. It was more like an afterthought to add that in. . I'm sorry if this upset you.
