Thank you for all of your tutorials. I'm a beader but have recently started making wirewrap jewelry. Since I've started watching your videos it has gotten so much better. You are a wonderful teacher and obviously very passionate about what you do. Thank you again for sharing your talent with us. ❤❤❤

[@jessicaflarity6569]

I very rarely comment on KZbin, so forgive me for any awkwardness. I watched this video and then a day later made a bracelet and earrings from your video. I just recently have started wire weaving, I mainly do bead weaving. When I finished I posted it up on my Facebook and got a huge response from the pieces I made. I want to thank you for your easy to understand instructions and the inspiration. I will continue to follow your channel. You do great work and are easy to watch and understand. thank you

Lovely design the wire work looks neat you explain your work so well that I am just glued to the video hahahahaha thanks

[@kittykester8567]

This bracelet has always looked so complicated to make, but your demonstration has made it look so simple to make, with some practice. I appreciate your easy going way of teaching. You make it is easy to learn from you. I am going to go try your technique right now. Thanks! Hugs, Kitty

[@vanessacanzater2286]

Your videos are very easy to learn from. Thank you

[@roberteddy8025]

Hi Yvonne, I've had to retire early ( medical probs ) anyway I've been trying lots of different things to keep me busy and I've found what you've shown me to be very engaging and will be doing a lot more. I've seen a lot of your videos and the scope of your talent/inventiveness just blows me away, if I can get to 1/4 of what you can do, I will be happy. I'm in Australia so I have to source my wire from local suppliers but I will get there. Excellent, keep up the great work.

[@varvaraefpraxiadou9697]

Thank you so much Yvonne for this tutorial. So clear and easy to follow techniques here. I truly enjoyed it.

[@leianalei6340]

I love this! I'm gonna make my self a whole set with my new unakite beads I've been debating on what to make with, thank you Yvonne! Spiral queen!!

[@karrae7085]

I really love your videos. You make it so easy to understand. Clear and concise.

[@ilodar5684]

I just started working with wire and your video have been so helpful, most videos I see assume that you already know how things work amd just give you a visual. Your videos are a blessing for beginners like me.

[@MelissaConley1951]

Wonderful clear and precise herringbone instructions. Thank you

[@mariagloriagentile8487]

I was looking at how to price. And you came up on my utube thank you so much ..Ive been metalsmithing started with beading 7 years ago when cancer got the best of me just starting back up but have enough material and your video on organizing ..now that by the grace of God I beat the big C..im starting over..but Ive been following you since ..Thank you so much you are a major inspiration"

[@Nouta1]

So nice and so simple. I like the way it still looks complex.

Beautiful thank you for sharing your talent

[@backtoearthcreations]

wow, thank you Anita!

[@simonson111]

Just made a pendant. Turned out great. Thank you. Oh, for everyone, I found 18 gauge suited me best for the weave. 20 was too soft, for me anyway.

[@josehierrohierro7901]

preciossa y muy bien explicado, felicidades

[@godesskali9095]

Beautiful thank you.

[@leianalei6340]

You are so Adorbs with your fairy houses!!

[@samisanar4284]

Betifull Thanks for Sharing your Knowledge with us God bless you

[@Mitadbebe]

Great, I love it. Do you have a tutorial of how to make the pendant? It is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.

[@l0unny]

Thank you

[@joseluislopezmora5558]

Nice job

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thanks!

[@PomegranateStaindGrn]

Just wondering if you've done the herringbone wrap with square wire and how that works or if it does? I love your videos! You have the perfect approach to tutorials because, not only do you show how to do something "correctly", but you also show how to fix problems that will inevitably arise despite experience. It's also so wonderful to watch the creative process as you form each project. Thank you for all your incredible tutorials, your candid approach, and just being you! A neighbor from just north of you (in the KC area).

[@NjoyDesigns]

Very nice again!!😍

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you, Joyce!

[@TennButay]

Lovely tutorial! Im thinking of making one of these for my mother, but I have a question about the wire and also about the chainmaille rings. Do they leave a metal smell on your skin? If i made a ring/bracelet would it make your skin have a metal smell? If they do, do you know which ones do/dont have a very strong scent? Thank you so much!! ❤️

[@cacevedo07]

Great work. Thank you for sharing it. What kind of beads are the white ones?

[@NancyNewbergshawnee]

Thank you :)

[@chemam50]

Really pretty. Do you have a tutorial for the pendant? Thanks

[@deerandcats]

Thank you for your tutorials, I love them! I have a question about the wire as well, I know you said down below that after a few years the silver loses its color and goes back to copper...but does the copper-colored Parawire stay copper colored, or does it darken and tarnish eventually like regular copper does?

[@barbaraburnett4314]

Are you using half hard wire? Thanks so much for sharing this!

[@ashleydyer7200]

I'd love to see an extension on the pendant

[@rosabutton52]

Do you have videos on the pendant? All your work is beautiful!

[@backtoearthcreations]

Hey, Rosa! I don't yet, but I am working on it! Thank you!

[@hananalordonyaalaordony392]

very very nice

[@rahmatullohshodmonov1901]

Прекрасно!

[@1994abbygirl]

Very nice!

[@backtoearthcreations]

hehe, thanks! I'm glad you like it :)

[@katiekat8478]

Do you have a tutorial for the copper pendent that you bring up at about the 18 or so minute mark? Its really pretty

[@alluringbliss4165]

thank you, I was trying to figure how to make a bracelet

[@backtoearthcreations]

Hey! I hope my video was helpful to you :)

[@barbaraburnett4314]

Would you mind sharing where you get your wire? The variety is fantastic and I would be interested in using other colors of wire rather than regular copper and brass. Thanks so much!

[@backtoearthcreations]

Hey. Barbara! I get my wire from www.parawire.com :)

[@joshnicol-molitor3428]

Hey Yvonne hope you're having a wonderful day! just wondering whether you knew the song that was in the background a couple mins in?

[@caroldavila7615]

OK I broke all my fingernails..lol but...I did it and it looks good too. Thank you for this video hin.

[@backtoearthcreations]

lol! That will happen :p

[@nataliegist2014]

I love you show all the opps.

[@anneoconnorao]

Thank you for showing so many possibilities for using this technique. I think it could be masculine or feminine depending on the bead and wire choice. I too am just starting out. Can you recommend a brand or brands of pliers that make less teeth marks in the wire? I noticed yours do not make visible teethmarks. Thanks for sharing!!!💗

[@dalanamarie]

Do you use half-hard wire? I'm having trouble deciding which hardness of wire to go with for wrapping.

[@FrknRican86]

I'm just getting back to doing this and I find my wife REALLY stiff. Is it just something to get use to or is there a good way to soften it?

[@acidrain8711]

I would love to see how you made that pendant, if you've already shown it could you send me a link? Thank you

[@phyllistinetinker4487]

Hello, how do you keep your wire from scaring

[@willemsdominica]

hello Yvonne, I will like to know where I can buy the Para wire, I like all your proyect

[@backtoearthcreations]

Hello! I get my parawire from www.parawire.com

[@magic1111]

I just found you yesterday. I love your work. Do you have hand pain problems?

[@backtoearthcreations]

Hey, sister! I am glad you found me :) Most of the hand pain I have isn't a result from crafting; just from being clumsy. I do a lot of stretches and hand and wrist strengthening exercises to keep the wear and tear from getting to me, but I am also still in my 20's so ask me again in 10 years :p I am sure its going to catch up with me eventually!

[@magic1111]

I have the clumsy down for sure. I believe I will see if I have waited too long for stretching and hand and wrist exercises to be beneficial. You'd be right to wonder why I hadn't thought of it myself. I will check with you in 10 years for sure.

[@user-yu9hm7hf6d]

👍💯

[@renzo623]

Hi. Am I using the wrong wire? Your wire seems very rigid whereas mine is very flimsy. What are you using?

[@sharrondawson9548]

How did you do the pendant please

[@nene2386]

Hey Love Where can I find a ring mandrel like the blue one you use for the making of Bead Rings I try looking and I can’t find it anywhere 😩 ugh”

[@susiegreenspoon6098]

I want to make a pendant for a necklace with two beads wrapped together in a herringbone pattern to have it look like two peas in a pod. Is there a video that demonstrates this process?

[@backtoearthcreations]

hey, Susie! I will make one for you!

[@RosaButton]

How do you like the parawire? Does it hold up? TYIA

[@backtoearthcreations]

Hey, Rosa! I love parawire; I have found that it holds up exceptionally well. The only problem I have is after a few years the silver loses its color and goes back to copper; this hasn't happened to me in a while, and I am testing a few samples from their more current batches of wire to see how the silver plated silver holds up, but as far as the other enameled copper colors they are durable, easy to work with, and come in such a broad range of colors it can be hard to choose from :p

[@AmyzJunkJournals]

can you plese give the measurement of the mark you made on your pliers please

[@evanestrick9986]

Can you show how to make a herringbone ring start to finish

[@Penny.Royalty]

What is the difference between dead soft and half hard? And do you usually use 1/2, 2.5, and 5oz?

[@backtoearthcreations]

Hey, Mary! Dead soft is full annealed, and is much softer than half hard wire: I like half hard wire for things like clasps and ear hooks, and prefer the deadsoft for the wires that are going to be moved around or sculpted a lot. I'm not sure what you mean by the oz of wire: the gauges I use the most are 16ga, 18ga, 20ga, 26ga, and 28ga. Here is a handy conversion chart from gauge to millimeter www.firemountaingems.com/resources/encyclobeadia/charts/6404

[@Angela-hw4us]

How do make that pretty bracelet I would like to know how to make that wire wrap bracelet if you can please show how to do it on KZbin that would be awesome thanks

[@twistedknotz5485]

I think i will need to use 22 guage wire for the herringbone part of these :) The 20 gauge is just too hard on my fingers and hands. turned out nice tho :)

[@backtoearthcreations]

It can be really hard on a person's hands; I imagine 22ga will be plenty good, though! :)

[@Dwinn10055]

Very preety

[@lesley10ful]

is there a way to use this kind of wrap for a dragon eye?? great tutorial

[@backtoearthcreations]

There sure is! I'll make a video :)

[@lesley10ful]

oooh ty so much!! I shall look forward to it, reason I ask is I have arthiritis in my hands and cannot wire wrap very well. thanks again
