After a 4 year hiatus from wire working, your tutorial helped me get my confidence back. Thank you so much. My friend will love this pattern

[@ellieshandcrafted]

I'm so happy to hear that! Thanks for sharing! :)

[@PersonWhoIsMe]

I really like this design as something to play with for natural stones! The five base wires should hold an oddly shaped stone securely and then you could use the weave to empasize the natural shape of the stone - love it!

[@ellieshandcrafted]

I love that idea! Thanks for sharing. 🥰

I have heard it referred to as corset weave, like the cross wires are laces,

[@ellieshandcrafted]

Thanks so much for sharing that!!

[@Horselife4me]

Ellie!! I LOVE your tutorials!! You explain everything so nicely… I watched this entire video writing down your instructions then started over and following along w my notes & your video made it a bit easier, I’m wondering tho, where do you get your wire? I’ve gotten mine on Amazon (and some at hobby lobby) the first silver wire was soooo stinking soft if I sneezed it would bend, pretty frustrating but this other copper one seems to do better. I also have an odd shaped stone (it’s a leaf shaped labrodite (I think)) so mine is looking similar but different which is ok, do you have a mentorship program like some of the other crafters I’ve seen?? I’d love to be able to get your advice on some things. Thank you so so much for showing us how to do these, this is only my 2nd try but I am ADDICTED to wire wrapping. Also….do you have any suggestions on where to get good quality stones?? Thank you again!! Keep up the great work!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@ellieshandcrafted]

I'm so glad that these videos help you!! I get my wire from www.Riogrande.com. I'm working on creating a Patreon page sometime in the very near future. My goal is to have it up and running by next month.

[@karenbeavin]

I was hoping you would show how you did the top triangle of the bail because it is so difficult for me. Do you have any pointers for me so I can do a neat weave like yours? This is a very pretty design and works well for a larger stone that which sometimes is a challenge for me. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas. I like your style 😊

[@ellieshandcrafted]

That was always the hardest for me, too! I found that holding the wire in place with my fingernail before adding tension really helps as I'm weaving up the last triangle portion. I do plan on doing a video in the next couple weeks for a few different bail designs, including this one. :) I'm glad you're enjoying my videos!!

[@loycehenderson7346]

Would you be able to add subtitles? I wear hearing aids, and reading along really helps me.

[@ellieshandcrafted]

I can't go back and put them on older videos, however, if you click the "cc" button on the video, KZbin will provide closed captioning. I hope that helps!

[@xlr8tedzoom]

I was riveted. At no point in time did I lose interest.that's because you are a great instructor and this pendant will be my next project. Subscribed so I can follow your channel and do a bit of binge watching of your other videos!

[@ellieshandcrafted]

Aww, I'm so happy to hear that! I hope you enjoy your time! :)

[@xlr8tedzoom]

@@ellieshandcrafted I know I will enjoy my time spent on binge watching. I watched several more videos last night not intending to but none the less I did.

[@susansilva2097]

I found it difficult as a beginner to follow as you did go a bit too fast and had to go back so many times. Love your designs but .....

[@ellieshandcrafted]

I’m always trying to work on that and I hope I continue to improve. 😊 Thanks so much for your feedback!

[@doubledragon9530]

I wish you would do what you are doing instead of "going ahead and" doing it. The design is lovely, but the instructions are frustrating.

[@ellieshandcrafted]

I’m sorry to hear that! This is an older video, so I hope that my teaching in newer videos is easier for you. ❤️

[@friedaunderwood9431]

As a novice wire weaver I find your instructions to be excellent. I can go back and rewatch as many times as needed if I don’t get it the first time. Thank you!
