[@lindyclark535]

I'm having trouble watching other tutorials after you Yvonne! Your format is the best for me.

[@tammyreneemc5552]

You look super pretty with your eye makeup & hair like that! I mean, you're naturally pretty, but your primping today is on point.

[@backtoearthcreations]

lol, thank you! I call it my war paint :p

[@dux2508]

I love that you explain what others don't, and show new technics!

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thanks, boss! I get rambly sometimes, but most of the time I try to be useful :p

[@katehill1191]

what I wouldn't give to come and spend time with you and your darling chickens and bunnies, have some tea, do some crafts and just chat. I have watched many of your videos and I believe we are kindreds. you remind me of ME!!!! My husband even said we are alike. Alas, I am in Ontario Canada and you are much too far away. I will continue to look forward to your videos. Keep being you, you're awesome! Also, you are such a wonderful teacher!

[@backtoearthcreations]

Wow, thank you so much! its always nice to meet a kindred spirit :p

[@kriss1956]

Love the different views, your doing great, Thank You

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you! I am still experimenting to see which angles work best for different projects, but I think its coming along :)

[@willwoods222]

Thank you for sharing this with us! You are amazing!

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you, it is my pleasure! :)

[@pennyi1]

love your tutorials thank you. You make things seem so simple

[@cookingprof]

Great tips for working with links. The multiple screens in your vids are an HUGE teaching tool! I'm working w/ Sterling Silver, Brass & Copper and cerate patinas on all of them. My rings are quite a bit smaller as I'm creating necklaces that should hang like a scarf.

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thanks, Cook! I am still experimenting with different angles to find what works best, but practice makes for improvement :p Your work sounds lovely!!

[@BazMel14]

Love Love Love it

[@SeraphimRedgrave]

Lovely! Beautiful design and the camera work is much better. :D

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you, Red! I've said it before and I think it will always ring true: I figure out what doesn't work before I figure out what does :p

[@brandielewis4623]

Do you have a tutorial for this in a bracelet? I'm not sure how to add the next helm piece on

[@lilaalabed2527]

Hi Yvonne. I just love your art. You are so talented and inspiring. I have never done work with wire and now I want to try it. I just need to know where you get your wire and findings? I just love all the pretty colors. Also, does the copper ever leave green marks on your skin? I have always heard that was a problem with copper and some other metals. Thank you.

[@leebarker3374]

Cute earring Yvonne! Where do you get your colored jump rings? Or do you make them yourself? Do you sell the colored ones?

[@backtoearthcreations]

Heya, Lee! I get my colored rings from www.theringlord.com I wish I were up to doing my own anodizing, but I think that is farther off in my future!

[@jadzia911]

Why do you sometimes use the bright aluminum and other times the anodized ones? Do you buy both types from Ring lord? I took a look at their website and I am frankly lost in the different choices of product. I can't afford to buy twelve kinds of wire gages and colors...

[@backtoearthcreations]

Heya, Jadzia! the bright aluminum is a cleaner aluminum alloy that I use when I just want plain silver toned rings. The anodized aluminum gives me splashes of durable color. I coil and cut my own bright aluminum and buy my anodized from the ring lord. it can get really overwhelming as a beginner to go to their website because its hard to know what to pick. If i could make a recommendation to my past self, I would recommend 16ga 1/4 or 18ga 3/16 in a few metal types; nickel silver, aluminum, copper, and stainless steel. its a versatile ring size and will give you good working idea of what each metal is like to work with as well as how the final pieces compare to each other. I use both of these rings sizes quite a bit for euro 4-1, half persian 3-1, byzantine, spiral, and the two of them together for celtic vision variations, euro 4-1 variations, and these are just the few I can think of off the top of my head. I hope this was helpful, and happy crafting!

[@twistedknotz5485]

very nice...i think tho that maybe the three camera angles is a little much...it does cover a good deal of the main view. Looks awesome tho!

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thanks, Debbie! I am trying to sort out the best way of going about multi views, and as in most things I am figure out all the less than idea methods on my way there :p

[@twistedknotz5485]

I should check out your chain mail kits, I also want to get a big kit from the Ring Lord in the future too to try out some different sizes and stuff but I may want to start smaller.

[@tammyreneemc5552]

so THATS what I'm doing wrong! I'm not pushing enough while I close it. thought I was pushing enough but I guess not. thanks!

[@backtoearthcreations]

yay! I'm glad you worked it out :) Happy Crafting!

[@marissaannette1274]

Did you make your necklace??

[@backtoearthcreations]

Heya, I did :)

[@marissaannette1274]
