Thank you, Oxana! Another well-done tutorial. 👏🏼 I made this pendant. It's one of my best pendants so far. I refuse to sell it, and I wear it quite often!

[@OxanaCrafts]

That is so wonderful to hear!

[@Pinkcherry9]

You make the wire look like butter and your creations are amazing! You’re the best teacher on this app for wire wrapping I’ve learned how to do this craft because of you, thank you so much !

[@OxanaCrafts]

Thanks so much 😊

[@ranielson2854]

Thanks for sharing! You make it all look so easy…. You are certainly a pro at this! It’s a great blessing that you are so kind to share your wonderful talents at wire wrapping! 😊

[@maryhernandez8818]

She does make it look so easy. I use half hard and ordered deadsoft to see the difference thank you Oxona

[@kathleenslowik.iamsointere6645]

1:29 I have never been aware of the art of wire wrapping. I started out watching a male get stones from the dollar store and galvanized wire. You can imagine how awful this mess was. Then I discovered your channel and I am hooked. I have made a few pieces using agates. The square copper wire and the half round copper wire. My family thinks that I have some talent. I have a long way to go before I can make my wrapping look as good. Thank you for being so sweet to share this with us beginners. You are a great teacher 😊😊😊

[@anndwandner3664]

Sooo pretty. I love all the swirls. Your work is magnificent and I’ve learned so much from you. Mine are nice but not as gorgeous as yours . Thank you for all of your videos.💖

[@lorimihelick5475]

You do such beautiful work, and your tutorials are fabulous as well❣️☺️

[@Sarahthelunsford]

I just made this piece today! I got lost at the bail but salvaged it. I am looking forward to making this elegant wrap again and again. It's simple and I know it will look better each time I try it. Thank you so much for sharing and for encouraging us to take creative liberties :)

[@OxanaCrafts]

You are very welcome!

[@cathyrezba3132]

Wow! Very beautiful! Thank you for the tutorial. You make it very easy to follow.

[@Bevoe]

Beautiful! Can’t wait to try this.

[@raisakuperman1760]

Bravo! It's a very elegant piece of art, thanks so much.

[@darsmith3448]

This is a very nice design for us to learn with. Thank you!

[@thinkingclearly24]

I love your designs because they allow the stone to shine.

[@OxanaCrafts]

Beautiful

[@valeriewestmoreland4010]

So beautiful and ornate.

[@darrenpierson2650]

You do great work! I am watching and trying to learn before actually trying this myself. I am wondering how well do the ends of the wire you cut and tuck in underneath stay in place? They look like they will stay in place very well, if I would have difficulty in getting them to stay are there any tricks to help? Thank you!

[@ea.pedras.presiosascuriosi398]

Ficou maravilhoso, que dia vou fazer assim meu Deus

[@dionnenichols4441]

Take a couple of cabs and start with an easier design to get used to the feel of the wire, tension, using tools so you don't become frustrated by the complex swirls in this design. I have a very special polished crystal I have been looking for a setting I love and this is it - but I need to learn a few basics before I attempt to make this one so I don't waste time or wire, get frustrated and quit.

[@chieubinhnguyen8276]

Thank so much So beautiful

[@leilakirkdietzolsen6741]

Beautiful design ❤️🇩🇰

[@rayetteadair6734]

Beautiful pendant ❣❣❣

[@leilakirkdietzolsen6741]

So pretty -love it ❤️🇩🇰

[@listenup1166]

Can you demonstrate a wrapped pendant that is an irregular shape. Like an asymmetric triangle with uneven edges? I found a piece of a shell on the beach that I want to wrap, but it's not shapped like any of your videos.

[@OxanaCrafts]

You can wrap irregular shapes in the same way, you would just bend the wire frame to go around your shape. Here's a video I have for an irregular shape: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX6ypGN6bb5shas

[@OxanaCrafts]

Here is an irregular piece of seaglass I wrapped, maybe that would help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ_UY4RvoNKXaJY

[@carolynmozzone412]

Beautiful! But beyond my expertise ( or lack of😮)

[@hi.moriarty]

Carolyn, I used to think that, too.💖 I found that using scrap pieces and just trying the different techniques she teaches throughout her video was JAW-DROPPING inspirational to me! Holding and shaping it myself, trying it, and SEEING HOW it works in MY hands... I've always ended up running through the house with each one, saying: "Look at THIS! I did IT!" Pretty soon I had enough understanding and confidence to try a whole project. 💖

[@hi.moriarty]

You have always inspired me. Thank you! 💖

[@carolynmozzone412]

@@hi.moriarty I hear you😀. She is so talented! My old hands sometimes have a hard time with the twists and turns but am determined. I use scrap to practice on too😀. Kind of stay with the simpler styles.

[@hi.moriarty]

@@carolynmozzone412 😲😲 I never even considered that!!! Oh my gosh! You are so kind to smile and take what I said so lightly. It was with the best intentions to encourage. Thank you for that. 💖

[@MelanieMacDonalDMELSPLAYLISTS]

I THANK BOTH OF YOU 🤍🤍💯

[@annmarietornabene]

I keep seeing these wraps using flat square wire. Can I use normal rounded wire? Is it less recommended?

[@OxanaCrafts]

It will be more difficult. I do have quite a few tutorials that use round wire

[@annmarietornabene]

@@OxanaCrafts thank you. I will be searching out square and half round wires. I live in France so not so simple finding them but I am on a mission if I want to create these kinds of pendants. Thanks!

[@AdolfBahan]

What kind of wire is that and size?
