Simply 😮😮😮😮. ❤❤❤ those colorful beads and bracelet. 😊

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Thanks so much!

[@AveMaria-js9bu]

I love your bead with me videos. I like to see your work in progress. You are so talented and it is a joy to watch you and to know you! I think that the 100 day challenge is a little long for me, because life just gets in the way. However, maybe 60 days would work for me. Just a suggestion. Give Goldie a hug and a kiss from her fans. 😊

[@AveMaria-js9bu]

Oh wow, I didn't realize this was from a year ago! I feel so silly...

[@artsygigi]

The bracelet is so pretty. I love love your polymer clay beads.

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@bonnie4526]

I love all 3 of these bracelets I love the beads you made someday I would love to learn how to make them

[@dawntipping1507]

Wow! Those are so cute. I love them

[@TurquoiseStreet]

💕💕💕thank you so much!!

[@leigh9354]

I love to watch you make bracelets. I have been in a bit of a slump myself. thank you for helping to recharge me. I would love love 💘 love to try to do the 100 bracelet challenge with you. I did a 30 day challenge before and stuck with that so 100 will be a tough on but bracelets are my favorite thing to make as well. I have also been very creative since you have shared some of the sites that you get some of your amazing supplies. I just spent almost every except $24 in my account until I get paid next week. lol. good thing it is a 3 week pay for me. I need it to get more beads.

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Yay!!! I am so excited you are going to join me!!! I can’t wait to see what you make!! The struggle is real for me too with shopping! I have a lot of online bead carts waiting for me to check out! 🤣

[@doggmopp]

I really like your Bead With Me videos. I find them interesting and inspiring.

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Thank you, Lea!

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

Thank you for the shout out. I've been researching camera set ups for shooting KZbin videos. So I will post some quality videos soon. I think it's funny that I have an accent. Here in Eastern Canada we have a distinct accent. Thanks for all your encouragement and great videos.

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Any time, Emma!! I love listening to you!

[@lynnbowen4141]

Your handmade spiral beads are beautiful! Do you have a video on how to do them? Bracelets and earrings are definitely my favorite types of jewelry to make. So glad I ran across your channel! 100 days in a row would be difficult for me, I would be willing to try a smaller challenge.

[@ashleywhisman9784]

she said she watches a lot of Turtle suit so turtle soup as a bead making video that is pretty similar to the concept of these beads

[@srvntlilly]

Ashley Whisman That soes look like something Turtle Soup would make. She likes to make big, really colorful stuff. 😊

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Lynne, I got the idea and changed it to suite my needs from turtlesoupbeads on KZbin! She made a smaller version!! I hope that helps!! 🥰💕

[@ooohlaa13]

I have 3 cats and well, fur will show up on my bead board and because I live in Florida and work out at the umbrella table sometimes, sand makes its way here and there. Quick fix, the brush tool on your vacuum works great and it feels great to have a clean bead board.

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Packing tape works really well to get a lot of the small particles off too!

[@ooohlaa13]

@@TurquoiseStreet yes, good idea, use any kind of tape really ... I find the little particles of dirt while I am trying to create annoying. I will keep this by my side because not always in the mood to haul out the vacuum. 💦

[@sjwilson1034]

Thanks for another great video... Love to watch your designing process. Love all 3 bracelets. Afraid I wouldn't make a 100 day challenge... I too would try a shorter version. I,like you, never manage to clean up my supplies. Well not for a while anyway. It may be because we're too busy trying to figure out what to do next. Sure sounds good don't you think? Anyway you keep putting out the videos and I'll keep watching. Thanks again. 🌵☀

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Lol I don’t know if I’ll make it the 100days either!! We’ll see!! Any excuse not to clean up my beads sounds good to me!! 🤣 thank you so much for watching!! 💕

[@diannemozzetti9991]

Bracelets turned out so pretty! I love your handmade beads.😍 Can’t wait time see more videos

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Thank you, Dianne!!! 🥰🥰

[@janettefisher3101]

Kool my same thought

[@lynneholden6216]

Thank you I've learned a few things, I appreciate it. I also loved your Design!

[@hinamori102]

Absolutely amazing and beautiful. So inspiring to see the whole process. Thank you sweetheart for sharing. And you have such a soothing personality and voice.

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Thank you so much!! I am so glad you enjoyed the video!! 💕🥰

[@BeadnWithNicoleB]

Im going to make a challenge for myself, but maybe shorter. My goal is to create a piece everyday. Thanks for sharing so we can watch as you create.

[@TurquoiseStreet]

You got this!!!

[@ashleywhisman9784]

I enjoy pretty much any video that you do. I really Vibe with your content it's really great thank you so much for sharing. Beautiful bracelets by the way Britney

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Thank you so much, Ashley!!! I am so happy you like the content!! I feel like I’m on fire after the inspiration challenge, so you may get sick of me soon!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣💜

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

Oh yes, I love a challenge🤗. I've done 30 day challenges with yoga. I've done 100 day painting challenges. So much fun! I would love to do a bracelet challenge.

[@joycematso4730]

❣️Thank you for sharing this and of course once again you show us different tools/products to make beading easier❣️And of course I had to buy the elastic in those awesome containers and omg I did not know such an elastic needle existed🤗 I will have to order one-I really appreciate all you share and was tickled pink when I saw the collaboration announcement with Wendy- I so appreciate you both giving of your time and talent to share🤗I have a lot of catching up to do👍

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Thank you, Joyce!! I’m obsessed with finding things that make jewelry making easier and more interesting!! I’m so glad it helps!! Wendy and I are brainstorming our next challenge!! Stay tuned!! 🥰🥰

[@cececollections5685]

Love them all

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Thank you!! 💕🥰

[@reneeray5365]

Beautiful! I'm getting so much inspiration from all of your jewelry making and haul videos. I'm not so patiently waiting on my bead orders to arrive from Etsy and Pam so that I can start on my Zuni near pendant and bracelet and other things I had in mind.

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Yay!! I am so glad you’re getting inspiration!! Can’t wait to see what you come up wirh!! 🥰

[@Kathy-iu6im]

Love the bracelets, gorgeous.

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Thank you!! 💕🥰

[@HeidiMBlankenship]

Brittany, your bracelets all turned out so pretty! Love your artisan beads! I've gotten a lot done tonight! Watching your videos while I'm making beads and talking to you like you can hear me! 😂🤣😂 Years ago I did a 30 day card challenge. Not sure if I hang with a 100 day challenge. I'm afraid I might fail miserably lol. My attention span is---oh look something sparkly haha!! Also, I don't know if I'd be able to make just one kind of thing for 100 days. I'd have to mix it up. Thanks for the link for the stretch cord and containers! I'll have to check out Emma's chanel. TFS! ❤

[@TurquoiseStreet]

I am so glad you beaded along with me!! Send me pics of everything!!!! You know you want to do the 100 day challenge with me! You can make something different every time! I won’t make you stick to just one thing!! 🤣🤣 💕

[@sharonbrenhaug7592]

I absolutely LOVE those beads you made. Do you sell them?? I would love to have some. ❤️ I LOVE your bracelet, it turned out beautiful

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Thank you!! I may destash the rest at some point, but they take a while to make so I usually only make enough for myself. Thank you so much for watching!! 🥰💕

[@srvntlilly]

They're all awesome, but my favorite is the last one. I love those blue/green/teal stone beads! Where did you get them? They look amazing with your round smooth clay beads. I was wondering when one of your knots was gonna unravel, lol. I don't think I've ever seen mondo tiger eye. I have two bead boards to the right of work area, what isn't covered with BBB baggies, loose beads, jump rings of various sizes and metals, wire and headpin scraps, etc. I only take stuff out of them (the boards) when I need to use them for a new project. Then the leftovers of that stay in the boards, too. Comes in handy when I'm looking for random couple pieces of something I need to finish off a project. 😂

[@TurquoiseStreet]

I think I got those stone beads in Tucson! I have some larger tigers eye, but it would have taken forever to dig them up!! Thank you so much for watching!! 💕🥰

[@BeadnWithNicoleB]

I love love love these bracelets!!! I wish I had some of those artisan beads 😄. So how did that stretch cord work out? I want to order those containers they came in but want to make sure the cord holds up.

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Discord has pros and cons. I really like the dispenser and the cord is very strong it’s just pretty thick so sometimes the knots don’t fit inside the bead.

[@carolsimas1786]

Love these how did you make the polymer focals ?

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Thanks! They are based on a tutorial by turtlesoupbeads and I changed it to fit my needs!

[@MetalScrappinChick]

I watched a few different KZbinrs last year do the #100dayschallenge. I tried to do it as well but I fizzled out after about 20 days lol 😁. But I really love the idea!

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Lol I can see that happening! I am doing to do everything I can to keep going!! 💕

[@CarlaPowell]

I don’t comment often mainly because I watch you on my TV, but I love your videos. I really enjoy your process. But a couple of questions, After using this stretch cord, do you still like it? Would you buy it again?

[@TurquoiseStreet]

I probably wouldn’t buy it again unless I used a lot of heavy duty or large hole beads. It can be difficult to use with smaller beads!

[@zechainarodriguez7532]

Beautiful! Where can I get one of those needles?

[@TurquoiseStreet]

They have them at Michaels, Joanns (I think) and online! It is a Beadalon elastic cord needle www.michaels.com/beadalon-elastic-cord-needle/10547461.html?cm_mmc=PLASearch-_-google-_-MICH_Shopping_US_N_Beads+%26+Jewelry_N_Smart_BOPIS_N-_-&Kenshoo_ida=&kpid=go_cmp-9982372294_adg-106296471768_ad-433378147584_pla-917186076224_dev-m_ext-_prd-10547461&gclid=Cj0KCQjwudb3BRC9ARIsAEa-vUvp3HyZfmfyRya-T-6mR20oEZjO5RuT7WIYELTHHYzq3loRt_8Fo_oaAjvmEALw_wcB

[@jackiespiritas5454]

I am going to try to make stretch bracelets again. My biggest problem duh has been to buy beads with holes that aren’t big enough! Can’t string them easily and can’t hide the knot.

[@TurquoiseStreet]

They’re my favorite thing to make!! A lot of beads from the bigger stores are perfect for this and have good sized holes!!

[@marlenehager8237]

I love these bracelets. I'm wondering about the beads that look like they were wrapped in noodles. I went to Amazon and looked at artisan beads but no luck so far. Can you respond and let me know what they're called? I would appreciate that. I really liked the last one but it's hard to choose.

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Thank you, Marlene!! I hand made the ribbed beads from polymer clay!! I don’t know if anyone else sells them or what they’d call them. I adapted them from a tutorial from Susan at her channel turtlesoupbeads. I hope that helps!

[@marlenehager8237]

@@TurquoiseStreet, I've been watching "Thinking outside the Box" and she made these noodles with a machine that squeezes out polymer clay with. I think the gadget she used is used for cooking? Not sure. She brushes on glittery effects that shift into different colors as they move. I'd like to incorporate polymer pieces into my beading to save money. Pendants are pricey but there's an investment in supplies. Thank you for responding. I'm a SouthWestern artist (painting) so the jewelry I make is mostly SouthWestern style. I love watching your channel for obvious reasons. You had me at Turqouise...

[@jeanien2280]

Ok, I need that stretch cord case....Where'd you get it?

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Link is in the description!! Isn’t it awesome??

[@jeanien2280]

@@TurquoiseStreet OMG yasssss! Sorry, I was watching the video and when I saw those I immediately paused it and asked about them! LOL My stretch cord is currently strewn all over my house, thanks to my cats. 😁

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

Just thought of an idea. Do a live video. You set out beads and we the viewers direct you. 📿 Might be hard for you though.

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Maybe!! I have to build more confidence... these videos are heavily edited!! 🤣

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

You sound so confident. 😎

What type of beading needle is that?

Lol! I do the same thing. And that would really be a sight if that bark came out of Goldie! 🤣

There is a HUGE dog in the apartment below me and he wails when his people leave! 😭 that would definitely be hilarious if it came out of my little doggie!! 🤣
