Great design thanks

Good Monday Morning ☕🫖🥯Kelly! I am watching this at 5:40 in the morning and they are Ab Fab!! I LOVED the lime duo pair and the copper with the crystals!! Girl, you are like a Texas Tornado with your speed of doing CRAW! The ladies used to get so mad at me because 'I never slowed down' while doing this stitch. When people slow down the speed of the video and realize that it is easier than it looks, they will have no problems. Loved these......can't wait to make a pair in lime, black, fucshia (?), and purple for my Doctor's assistant. Have a great week, and hug the boys. Richard

Hi Kelly, This is Lisa from Atlanta. I love this design and the challenge of the new stitch. I appreciate you teaching design and color. You are so generous with sharing the techniques. Have a splendid day!

[@Maria.D.Velazquez]

Wonderful design! Thank you, Kelly! Have a wonderful day.

[@helentew6393]

Kelly, once again a beautiful design and your colours are very attractive. I cannot get it with craw. One day it may fall into place in my head. Thank you for taking your time to make this and all your videos. You are truly blessed with this gift .

[@sharonhollis9684]

I have to say I just love this earring. I love doing CRAW, it is right up my alley, and this earring design was absolutely wonderful to make; I tried one with Miyuki and one with Toho, I found the Toho worked better with this design so I took the Miyuki one apart and will make another pair using Toho. As much as I enjoy CRAW, I have never incorporated SuperDuos in to CRAW, but wow, I really like how the SuperDuo works right in there and just adds a little flare. This earring reminds me of a basket of flowers so the colors I chose reflect 🥰

I download very few videos but this is one! Thanks Kelly!

You always have the cutest glasses!! 🤓

[@susanroberts]

Oh Kelly! These are so cute! I love the green one. Thank you! 💝🥰🤗

[@carolynhughes1951]

I love the earrings you’re wearing now.

[@jennifergriego6967]

I love the earrings. Great pattern. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@Lauradicus]

Hiya Kel! Just finished watching the Compass Pendant again. Great timing!

[@phyllisbrunson-sutton5609]

I'm in love and will make these soon! Thanks again for another great project and video!

[@cdayperry2701]

I just discovered that 7mm two hole cabochons work excellently for me instead of the chaton. There isn’t a groove for the chaton to fit into so mine tilted. I almost left it but tore out the chaton work and the cab fits perfectly and matches the duos I chose. I don’t have a sparkly crystal but am better pleased with the cab. March on beaders. Great community here.

[@maryannneuroth8050]

Love the red ones. The design is inspired!🌸

Классные сережки ! Спасибо! Хотелось бы и такие как у Вас на ушках! Пожалуйста!!!👍❤️

[@tonyadixon4074]

Will be making these! Do you have tutorial for earrings you are wearing? You are the best Kelly. Love all of your tutorials!

[@offthebeadedpath]

They are from my 3D shapes here on YT. They are just connected together.

[@indiagosnell]

Kelly I have been dying to see this video since we were live and Loretta mentioned it being an earring. As always, this design amazes me on how you did it! Your technique with adding the custom and the ear bail blew me away! I did wonder if you could add a third row of 15's on the back of the chaton or would it be too tight? I love watching your hot messes on the videos. Not only is it a learning curve for us, but you make me laugh too. I love it when people make me laugh!!! I appreciate you so much and can't wait to see your next video. I might make these to match my necklace I am working on! ❤U Kelly!👏👏👏

[@indiagosnell]

I meant chaton and not custom. Darn Auto correct!🙄

[@offthebeadedpath]

Thanks India! You could add another row of 15/0’s but there is no need for it. The encasement will be very tight with two rows with no falling out issues.

[@indiagosnell]

Got it! Thanks for the tip!😁

[@Lauradicus]

Just finished it and boy, didn’t that out my poor little brain to the test! Dang Chaton wouldn’t fit in the 6 set RAW strip so I had to make it 7. Of course this messed me up when it came time to add the loop in the center. Then I realized I could just a stitch in the ditch on the top at front and back then attach the loops to those new beads. Whew! By the time I got around to the loop I figured it was a bit too big for a earring (for me anyway) so I turned it into a pendant.

[@cdayperry2701]

I think mini duos would work better. My regular super duos want to bunch up. Hence pick the best side.

[@offthebeadedpath]

The super duos work out wonderfully. It’s all a matter of tension as well. If you use a tight tension like I tend to do, they bunch up.If you use mini duos the other beads over power the mini duos. If you used minis you would need to bump down the sizes of all bead used.

Preciosos.....abrazos.

[@azizatouzani7657]

جميل جدا ورائع ،احب قناتك⚘⚘

[@tishsmiddy71]

Speaking of a bracelet with this pattern you think I could pull out three blue sections and three red sections or four? 🤟🏻

[@DanielSanchez-rc8gk]

Is there something else you can use instead of a chaton.love your color combination you chose .

[@offthebeadedpath]

You could also use an ss39 rivoli

[@tweety3351]

Hello Kelly when you add the second superduo is it same as first step i mean normally you add 2 on second one im lost on superduo part 😊

[@offthebeadedpath]

The best thing for you to do is to go to my website and download the free pattern for how to do CRAW with duo's. It's linked in the video description.

[@pameladoleman8247]

Kelly is there a pattern for the earrings you're wearing

[@vavavavroom]

Love this pattern. Question though: I made one earring the other day and it took me like 2 hrs to do just the one. Is that common/realistic timing? Im an intermediate to advanced beader but I thought to myself Geez so slow! I'm trying to figure out if I'm just slow or what ? 🤷😂

[@cdayperry2701]

This is a difficult/new pattern. It stretches our skills for sure. I am blessed (and sometimes cursed) with stubbornness. Printing out the instructions is a must-was for me- as Kelly goes too fast for part of this pattern. The most time consuming part is the 11/0s sections. Once you have done one the second goes faster. You can do it 🕊️ I mentioned in another comment that mini duos might work better but haven’t tried them.

[@offthebeadedpath]

Hi Jessica. I am a very experienced beader and each earring takes me about 1 - 1 1/2 hours to make. I can finish a pair in a little under 3 hours. The first ones always take the longest.

[@vavavavroom]

@@offthebeadedpath Ty SM for the feedback. Ok I don't feel too bad anymore. Obviously I'm on par with others and yes it's an involved pattern. I do love the result though. I will tackle the mate to the one I made soon. 🤞😂

[@vavavavroom]

@@cdayperry2701 Ty SM for the feedback. It's a great pattern and I too downloaded Kelly's free superduo pattern. Made things MUCH easier to follow.
