[@OutOfHereSoon]

Very nice but the music is not in the background and is too loud when you are speaking.

[@eddathaniagonzalez2471]

Hermosoooo

[@shirleymoore3767]

Wonderful tutorial! Your voice is very clear and modulated, and the instructions are easy to understand. I do like the music in and of itself, but it does make it harder to hear you.

[@kaysgemcreations]

Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback!

[@richardraimondojr.2007]

I found the music to be too loud and distracting from the great tutorial.

[@beverlybabul5875]

I agree that the music is too loud and competes. I had to leave because of the music. I listen on ear buds. Otherwise, this tutorial is great with techniques and instruction.

[@cathijohnson5867]

Love this and I'm going to try it with my own flare!! Is there a way to turn your back ground music down a little bit? I'm having a hard time hearing you over it. I would love to hear every word you say. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. This is truly beautiful!!!

[@roseravia9578]

Thank you for sharing. Love the pendant but have to say that the music was exceedingly distracting for me and even drowned out your voice at times.

[@pamhuot3633]

Love the tutorial, the music is too loud and distracting tho.

[@BloodimaryartCrochet]

All these tutorials are so amazing ❤ until I try to reproduce them and realize it SOOO much more difficult with round wire 😅 I have neither half-round nor square wire 😢 any suggestion on how to work with round wire?

[@mywifetheartist]

Great tutorial and very informative but the background music was a little too loud. Thanks for sharing.

[@shineypenny]

Question for you...if you have any advice I would be grateful! So- when you have all 4 base wires wrapped with the half round and it's time to bend the whole thing..I often have issues with the wires becoming kind of bent at the angle that my pliers close, if you know what I mean. Unless I bend them all very slowly and with my fingers ALONE...I can't seem to get all my base wires, no matter if I have 2 or 6, to stay level...I guess, for lack of a better way to say it. Lol. They are All still next to each other, all flat and all the same side of each individual wire the whole way down each of them. But it's like as soon as I use my needle nose/chain nose pliers and try and handle them, only the wire closest to the inside of the pliers really gets clamped, with less and less of each wire is actually being held the farther from the first it gets. And then if I DO clamp down on all of them...then I get the angle thing I'm talking about! It's very frustrating! I don't actually HAVE a set of flat nose or nylon pliers...so I don't know if it's as quick as a fix as using different pliers...or if there's some trick to it. Any help of suggestions would be lovely! Thank you so much and nice work!! Love it!

Is the wire dead soft?

[@sandymorton1935]

Great tutorial but the music is very distracting x

[@judyfay6318]

Brilliant tutorial, although sweet but, music very distracting.

[@dougharper9876]

Love the pendant but it was a little hard to hear the music was way to loud.

[@Kalissa313]

Nice tutorial. The piece has an art deco-ish feel for me, which is cool. Are you inspired by OxanaCrafts? This seems like a well thought out variation on her basic design. Good job.

[@shannongrant1690]

Is this dead soft or 1/2 soft wire?

[@kaysgemcreations]

This is dead soft copper!

[@drk870]

The session abruptly ended and I have a pendant without a bail. I don't know how to make a decent bail, so my pendant is unfinished. 😢

[@pamkriner5945]

Where do you buy your wire?

[@kaysgemcreations]

Rio Grande!

[@Nalhaj3]

Where do I find these wires?

[@kaysgemcreations]

I found these on Rio Grande!

[@rosemurch6107]

Need to tune down the music so we can hear you.

[@shiki8356]

can i use round wire?

[@kaysgemcreations]

Yes, you absolutely can! It's sometimes a little harder to keep them all lined up when establishing the initial frame, but it's totally doable!

[@shiki8356]

@@kaysgemcreations thanks for your reply!❤❤❤

[@elizabethmoleski7334]

Please drop the background music so we can hear your instructions

Great job! My suggestion is your background music is too loud. It is difficult to hear your voice. You seem to have a calm soothing voice, but i want to actually understand what you are saying.

[@joancross5296]

Music is to loud I want to hear you

[@cherylthomas4323]

Music is too loud. Can hardly hear your instructions.

[@alangoode8354]

Great video but turn down the music.... it's you I want to listen to

[@pjarman8874]

, would be easier to hear you without the music, sorry mr guitar!

[@kimberlytrombly2960]

Your music is to loud. I’m having a hard time hearing you.

[@kaysgemcreations]

Lol, yea I recorded, edited and uploaded the vid right from my phone and the app I used didn't serve me very well in the end. If you know of editing software or apps I can use on my phone, let me know! I've got some ideas for more free video tutorials rolling around 👍

[@laurettabertrand2623]

I would recommend cutting out the background music as its distracting to the listener.

[@XariaJuel]

That music is really distracting and makes it hard to focus
