Fancy Wire | Jewelry Tips with Nancy

[@missanna208802]

You are welcome, and I absolutely mean everything that I said. You are so generous to share your knowledge here on youtube, and I just THANK YOU for your time and effort in doing this. I took some jewelry/metals classes in college, and your videos are great refreshers for me, and your silliness reminds me of my teacher's silliness. She would always smell the rubber cement etc and then tell us that we didn't see it. She was awesome. So are you. Thanks again.

[@janicehuff2217]

I loved this video! I am actually trying to teach myself wire wrapping but this is so pretty, and you are a "hoot" to watch. Thanks

[@missanna208802]

You're videos are SOOO HELPFUL! Some of your tips would never be found in books or taught in classes- like the liquid paper stopping solder from flowing. We used yellow ochre for that, but it was messy and inconvenient to use. I wish more people would make videos like yours. Most jewelry making videos on here are wire wrapping and beading, not acual hand fabrication, smithing, forming etc. Thank you, thank you.

[@mrzuniga692]

Loved this video! Especially the "pretending in the studio" part. Looking forward to watching more of your work. Thank you.

[@Nrscathy60]

Nancy! Many years ago I did jewelry making and Loved your videos! I don't know if this will make it to you now, but I started to retrace my steps and found your videos again. I'm retired, as you probably are by now. I wish you would return to video and show basics and just chat. You are so fun to watch! I sure pray you are well, and your family too. Love you!❤

[@audreyh6628]

I definitely credit you in large part for the good little jewellery business I have going on, so thank you thank you! I always return to your videos again and again

[@NancyHamiltonJewelry]

Thank you. I am thrilled! Best of luck.

[@meredithkhanloo4195]

Could watch you play with different wires all day! So inspired. I want to make a bunch of cuff bracelets. May be a tutorial on finishing the ends.

[@johannalight3841]

I just love your humor and personality

[@brunosfinejewelry4057]

WOW! I am impressed by you - even after 6 straight hours! Go girl!!!!

[@TheMabelito]

Hi Nancy, I love your BEAUTIFUL work and your down-to-earth attitude. Your videos are informative and fun/funny. Thank you!

[@ceafva]

Loved this video. Thank you Nancy, again! Now just to figure out what to use the wire for in my designs.

[@maryjanevinella4054]

Well so much has been said singing you praises and they are right. Your videos are wonderful. I have taken classes and I always benefit from them, but having the videos to watch over again is marvelous. You tips are so practical and you make everything sound easy and fun. Take Care you are the best.

[@divaonlinenow]

Hi Nancy; Pearl Blay's mention brought me here. Although I've twisted and wrapped wire before some of your ideas are new to me. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@CharlesStruble]

No Nancy, not bad girl. Bad wire... Cool idea wrapping a contrasting wire around the outside. Very cool square wire ideas. I did have a good time, too. And nobody got hurt... Thanks!

[@allanthompson9695]

Thank you Nancy for this. Great ideas, loads of stimulus and I would buy the book straight away, no problem. Love your work. All the best. Allan and Zina.

[@christinat2365]

[@megangilbert9043]

This is so cool! Thank you!

[@Journalcraftshow]

Loved the Video, thank you for sharing.

[@andym5213]

Hi Nancy, am new to the wonders of Jewelry and loving your videos and web site. As a suggestion I would recommend that if people are looking for a drill - I would recommend a battery version, they tend to be of a lesser torque and allow for better control. In the UK the cost of an entry level battery drill is very similar to a power drill. Also, one other advantage, they are lighter and easier to carry around, so not as much destruction to your normal studio when moving around. Finally I also use a hand drill ($6 online) and a bench vice. You can elect to tighten the drill against the wire or as I do clamp a cup hook or eye hook in the drill and fasten the wire to the hook. Gradually working through your videos, so far they are all excellent!! Thank You Andy UK

[@Darlen-hj4kz]

Oh... and that is awesome what you showed us!!! THANKS!!

[@nancycrawford5373]

Wow thank you so much for such great ideas and thank you for teach me🙏

[@StrangePuppyPam]

[@dawndelalune]

OH MY!!! I love you!! You sound exactly like me while describing tools. I use the word 'thingie' way to often and laugh when I do! Can't wait to check out more of your videos! Thank you!

[@annetteleeuw9018]

Great video Nancy. When I twist wire I clamp it into my bench vise and pull the wire tight and twist with the drill. Great combinations of twisted wire here.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

[@NancyHamiltonJewelry]

Hi Jen, Thank you! Yes, it's a lot less painful and MUCH easier to use the drill. Don't forget to wear goggles and leather gloves! Have fun. Take care, Nancy

[@domesticdiva1045]

Nancy, do you have any examples of pieces of jewelry where you have used some of the multiple wire wrapping coils?

[@sharonfrench1087]

You are such fun, thank you for these techniques.

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

Thank goodness you use a drill. I was beginning to think that I'd discovered the Holy Grail of jump rings (basically if a drill can do the job, who am I to stand in its way lol!).

[@jcb0818]

[@Shukarr]

Hi nancy, thank you for this video. I was wondering if you could go a video about how to solder multi strand fact wire because I’m having a terrible time getting the ends to solder neatly. Thank you for your consideration. You are THE BEST TEACHER:)

[@deanakjefferson9278]

My question also

[@esthertrejo8329]

Love your videos, thanks for your tutorial.

[@ediblebydesign]

I like putting a harder wire in the center & putting dead soft wrapping the harder wire to make French wire earrings

[@yvettecintron3988]

Nice designs

[@annyparodi60]

Me encantan los dijes que tienes puestos, quiero hacerlos

[@traceyday7562]

hi if you hold the chuck while pressing the power button slow it'll tighten on its own

[@nobackhands]

Would like to see how you would end the fancy wire for bracelet making

[@thegoldengirls4evrofficial295]

Beautiful tutorial. What gauges do you usually use for the wire?

[@virginiacsa]

Thank you Nancy from England

[@nicolecondor5337]

you are so talented!

[@lorirappleye1]

Thank you Nancy

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

Have been wanting some intriguing way to add interest to a project like a cabichon pendant. :-)

[@NancyHamiltonJewelry]

Wow, thanks for the wonderful comment. Made me blush. I have a lot of information in my brain (some, completely useless) but, as you've no doubt seen, have a bit of a problem recalling it all. So glad my videos have helped. Take care and have fun. Nancy

[@richardbouska1504]

These are amazing I love these designs! ☺ I am trying to learn how to make wire jewelry and it's difficult but video's like yours are so helpful! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent! Your channel is greatly appreciated! Blessings! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@DenverPropertyCoach]

Can you talk about using the twisted wire for decoration, such as soldering it around a bezel. I've had problems with soldering twisted wire :-)

[@dessiereestewart5520]

Thank you for the good tips.

[@pattycaldas]

Love it! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@Darlen-hj4kz]

Does the copper wire tarnish if used as jewelry?

[@michaeltaylor1402]

Great info!!where do u buy your metal clay?

[@NancyHamiltonJewelry]

Thank you so much Mary Jane! Wow, beautiful comment. I love teaching via the videos because, you end up with an entire library of information. Love KZbin (and of course, Google) - they have connected us all and made knowledge available to almost everyone. Thanks again for the fabulous comment, I do appreciate it! Take care. Nancy

[@jamingammy6817]

Nancy I watch your videos 1 right after another I love ❤️ Ya! What would you make with twisted wire & how.? I would love ❤️ if you would do a few techniques for me. Thanks GIRLY

[@Johnbro8]

Nancy I think those are draw pliers. Thanks for sharing

[@deborahhardeman8802]

Do you have a video that shows how to solder twisted wire around a bezel?

[@VMSawicki]

Nancy, I love your videos. Would love to actually take a class from you but you are miles and miles away from me. I am curious about something...what the heck are with the letters on your fingernails? I kept trying to figure out whether you were spelling something!

[@gregorytangalos811]

Thank you for the food for thought ...

[@Spellbound987]

That tool is called here in the UK, parrot nosed pliers/cutters

[@57jauar]

My personal favorite, was the last one you did. Many Moons (Years) ago when working in Jewelry, the guy's...yes only the guys soldiered, two were winding the wire, each with a screwdriver and twisting frim opposite sides of about 8 ft.. I walked in an said , wouldn't it be easier to bolt a headless nail or screw, on the table then use a drill while pulling it tight? They said girls??? I walked into the other room, then heard noise...guess what, girls know stuff too. Sorry this video brought back a memory. Haha

[@NancyHamiltonJewelry]

Hey digupstuff, thanks. I'm a workin' on the book and YES, the kitty is beautiful, if very pricey to maintain.

[@eileenfb1948]

Thank you for an interesting video. My mind is racing - where is that old drill I've hardly used ... I also love to keep alive the old skills and techniques.

[@JenniferGreenfieldRealtor]

I really enjoyed learning this - thx!

[@wonbadood8243]

Use a vice instead of the tongs as it gives you much more control and one of your arms is also freed up. Also, a cordless screw driver has a far better gear ratio and torque than the 110/220V type of drill which is more suited to lengths of 2 meters/yards and longer. Never use an electric drill (wired) with one hand. It's asking for trouble and worse still, you might damage your piece of jewellery ;) Just Sayin'

[@dbear-diana-4585]

Awesome thank you

[@ceafva]

I have been playing around with wire twisting for about 6 months and have all sorts of wire combos made. Do you know if you twist two 28 or 26 gauge wires together what gauge it's called afterwards? What about two 20g pieces, what gauge would they be afterwards? I also have a lot of wire groups made but don't know what to do with them now? Any suggestions?
