I'm so glad when a professional admits they have to cut a bunch of times until it is perfect. I feel like so many videos make it look effortless which makes me feel like I'm doing it wrong. I really appreciate your video and look forward to looking through the rest of them.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

I leave that in just for that reason, we all make mistakes and struggle it's just part of the process leaving that out makes no sense . Glad you enjoyed seeing that part .

[@Kimhaas007]

You are spot on, but the fact that she can make them, then….. cut them up! I just cringe!!! Lol because I just can’t wrap my pretty little head around a cane to save my life. But she I so cool, and I admire her to no end!

[@leedaly5629]

found this by accident. I'm totally blown away.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Thank you

[@eileengavinlarsen4509]

Oooh, I just love your take on Natasha beads, Susan! The big chunk of silver, the bits of gold leaf from your cane ends, your gorgeous bezels, and all your nifty little tricks really turn these into *Art*!! Thanks for the inspiration!!

[@carrieevert1518]

I'm so glad I clicked on your Pencil Stroke Flower Bead video, which led me to this and I think I've found a new teacher!! Thank you for taking the time and being so generous in sharing your talents. You're lovely to listen to...and your work is lovely too!!

Although I've already commented on these fantastic Natasha beads and have been producing much nicer beads since watching this video, I just *had* to thank you for your clever little hack for smoothing the sides of the beads with a paper-wrapped gift card. Genius! It's now an essential tool on my work surface. Thanks, Susan. You are soooo inspiring!
