Wire Wrapped Chip Bead Earrings

It's time to use up some of those chip beads and make these delightfully gorgeous wire wrapped earrings!

I also want to say that I would never try to do videos. I admire you so much for doing so. Too much to remember plus too much can go wrong. How brave everyone who makes them! Thanks again.

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Thanks Sharen, LOL you just mentioned all the things that terrify me everytime I film a video! And it doesn't help when people leave non-constructive comments either! So, let me ask you, did you find this video dark? or was I off camera too much? Or were my hands in the way to the point you couldn't follow what I was doing?

[@sharenreyes7324]

@GumnutLaneJewellery I didn't find it too dark. You were off camera a time or two maybe, but honestly every person I watch goes off camera at times. I think it's impossible not to from time to time. I also didn't have a problem with your finger placement, but maybe the person whose comment I read is a very very newbie at wire wrap. I knew what you were doing at all times, but I also know more or less how to do certain steps. There is one man I watch who has corners drawn on his mat and he still goes off camera at times!

@@sharenreyes7324 Thank you Sharen for your honest opinion! You're absolutely correct about it being almost impossible to stay on camera all the time! And maybe she is a newbie! hmm🤔

You know it's a good design when you can't wait and grab your supplies before the video has ended 😹. Cannot wait to make these and the connector links from last video!! One of my favorite things I discovered in 2023 was Gumnut Lane. Merry Christmas Linda. 🎄🌌

I felt my fingers itching to make a pair of these. Love them! I enjoy your videos tremendously.

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

[@sharenreyes7324]

@@GumnutLaneJewellery I haven’t made anything lately because I have overused my thumb again. The pain is excruciating. I am resting it for a bit. I just so badly want to make something! I even got out the supplies, but no go.

[@alebird2459]

Merry Christmas to you too and thanks a lot for the inspiration, beauty, creativity and generosity! Thanks so much!

[@texasceechelle]

Thanks for the idea. Is there any way you can add more light to your videos? I think that would help.

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

hey there, I'm sorry if this video ( or do you mean all my videos?) was a bit dark, I have another light I could use but I just feel it would inhibit my work space!

[@ei8570]

Can't see all portions of technique, either off camera or hands in the way.

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

I'm sorry if you found it hard to see what I was doing! As I hope you can appreciate,It's extremely hard to stay on camera at all times and my hands need to hold the piece I am working on! I try my best to explain what I am doing to compensate for any blocked view! Have a Very Merry Christmas and I hope to see you in the New Year!👍😊

[@teresafowler1398]

I tried these just now, I pulled to hard and cracked a few chip beads.

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Hi Teresa, I'm not sure where you were pulling the wire to hard? also remember to try to pick beads that are drilled more towards the centre of the bead not on the outer edge, this will help! Please let me know if you need anymore help! have a great weekend!😄

[@teresafowler1398]

@@GumnutLaneJewellery ok, I will try again tomorrow. Yeah as I was wrapping the wire around the frame. I will choose better chips.

[@teresafowler1398]

Thank you

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

@@teresafowler1398 Please let me know if you're successful or not ok!?
