I love the clean look of this wrap and the addition of the twisted wire. I continue to have trouble deciding what to do with the wires at the top of the stone. Thank you so much. I like your ideas and appreciate that you take time to demonstrate your skills.

[@OxanaCrafts]

Thank you! Glad it was helpful!

This is such a beautiful yet simple design! I have a charoite oval cab that’s just been sitting around and I think this will be perfect for it! Thank you Oxana for all your amazing tutorials 💕 your work is beautiful and you’re a great teacher!

[@OxanaCrafts]

Another beautiful piece. I really like the small accent loop on the bottom right. Keep your goodness comin. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒🤗

[@OxanaCrafts]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@tkaneen]

This is a sweet design. I mixed my round with squats because that’s what I had. It was a little tricky but I am pleased with my finished piece. Thank you for being so detailed with your explanation.

[@OxanaCrafts]

So glad it worked out for you!

Hola Oxana, que hermoso trabajo te felicito altamente y te deseo mucho éxito, me apasiona el alambrismo y tu lo aplicas muy sobriamente y con un especial estilo; tus diseños son de fina joyería y lo mejor sin usar soldadura!!! Felicidades 👏

Amei. Aprendo muito com você

[@joelledeman166]

This is so beautiful! All your work is, honestly. Can't wait to try some of this for myself! Have you ever tried like a Celtic knot design? I think that would be really cool and I would love to see your take on something like that (if you want to, of course). Thanks for your videos!

[@OxanaCrafts]

Thank you! I have but never very successfully, maybe one day!

Beautiful! But I am having trouble understanding how both the twisted wire frame and the bale are on the front...at 7:45 you start explaining how you want the lined up wires on the front, for the bale--but isn't the extra wire on the front, because you've redirected its twin to do the twisted frame?

[@OxanaCrafts]

I lined up the remaining wires so that the extra wire would be in the back instead of the front.

[@jesseelisabeatty8205]

In your videos can you please tell us the hardness of the wire? Like dead soft or half hard? I love that you tell us in mm and inches. ( I don't know mm..and not good at making the conversion..lol) every thing you make is beautiful 😍 I get alot of " junk jewelry" I take it apart and make stuff. But, I would like a moss agate, do you know where I can buy a natural stone reasonable? Thank you!

[@OxanaCrafts]

It is all dead soft. You can find a moss agate cabochon on Etsy for a reasonable price.

[@jesseelisabeatty8205]

@@OxanaCrafts most of them are like amber, fake..smh. thank you!

[@xluceylilliex]

When you use a stone, could you please say what stone it is, I find myself wanting that particular stone you're using, but I don't know what it is, there's a few you've used now that I want, love your designs and thank you for explaining so well xxx

[@OxanaCrafts]

I typically mention the stone type in video and I also write it in the info box under the video. This stone is a Moonstone

[@xluceylilliex]

@@OxanaCrafts oh god am i just missing it? OK thank you, I'll listen carefully in future, thank you xx

[@rubencifreschunke5829]

How do you put the wires toghether and do so that they don't separe and take random shapes?

[@OxanaCrafts]

When I start I make sure they are all straight with no bends or curves. You can do this by using a cloth to run them through or using nylon pliers. Then I stack them together, since I am using square shaped wires the flat sides stack together nicely. Then I connect all 3 together with the half round wire.

[@heatherjc1990]

how do you do this without the stone flying across the room? :'(

Painters tape.
