[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

That’s turned super 🥰 great video 🤗, Michelle

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Hi Michelle, I'm so happy you liked it!

[@judithwatkins3262]

Thank you for taking your time to share this technique with us. I love this bracelet and will attempt to make one for myself. I hope mine turns out 1/2 as nice as yours. Never mind rude people, they have to inflict pain where they can. (Just realize this person needs our prayers and patience, although it is hard.) Conversation makes things interesting! Thanks again, I loved your video!

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Hi Judith, you're very welcome! Please let me know how your bracelet turns out, I would love to know!! I know, it takes all kinds of people to build a community, unfortunately that includes rude and nasty ones as well! 😢Can you please elaborate on "conversation makes things interesting"? 🤔have a wonderful day Judith!

[@Dwinn10055]

Very nice, thanks for the inspiration ❤

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

You are so welcome! I hope you make something beautiful! 👍😊

[@jennifermelvin8038]

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

I am jennifer, thank you! Glad you liked the cuff bracelet! hugsss back!

[@DebHerzog-mp3jk]

Hopefully the nasty comment was removed, as I couldn’t find it-just as well! Thanks for the time and effort and offering to teach a different style of jewelry. We all have different tastes ❤️

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Hi Deb, I was wondering where you had gotten to! I missed reading your comments! Yes! I removed the nasty comment as soon as I had read it, I didn't even comment back, which was very hard for me to control myself! I just hope they got their kicks and have gone away now! You are so right, we do all have different tastes! (mine just happens to be exceptionally good taste) LOL just kidding!😉Take care of you!❤😘

[@sharenreyes7324]

I imagine if we had seen that comment we would have been very upset. We love you as well as your videos.

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

That's why I removed it! I love all of you guys as well! The support is fantastic!😀

[@sharenreyes7324]

So so beautiful once again. When I saw the opening photo, my eyes just lit up! By the way, sorry to hear your experience. I can't walk much anymore due to the pain in my back . Horrible feeling. Don't worry about nasty comments like that one you got. Some people just want to be horrible no matter how well you do. This has become a sad world.

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Thanks Sharen, my eyes lit up, when I read your eyes lit up! That's what I strive for with all of my vids, I want people to have that feeling of " Oh Gee I just have to make this" 👍😊 That day was a terrible day for me, topping off a terrible week! Isn't it funny, how a nasty comment will stick with you, upset you and make you feel like an imposter, fraud and make you doubt yourself!? I get so many lovely and encouraging comments all the time, but this one bad one has really affected me! 😢

[@Maria.D.Velazquez]

Beautiful! I love cuff bracelets. I hope this week is much better than last week. Be well and have a happy day, Linda!

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Hey Maria, I am very happy with the way this cuff bracelet turned out! I am even happier with the response it's getting!! YAY! This week so far has been a dream week compared to the last! 😊

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Hey Maria, I am very happy with how this cuff bracelet turned out and even happier with the response to it! YAY!! 😊This week has been a dream week in comparison! 👍

[@Maria.D.Velazquez]

@@GumnutLaneJewellery I have been unsuccessful at creating a tiara for my sister. Watching this gave me the idea of trying it freeform. Thank you. I’ll let you know if I succeed.

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

@@Maria.D.Velazquez Oh yes Maria, please do! Can I ask you are tiaras a big thing in the US?

[@Maria.D.Velazquez]

@@GumnutLaneJewellery For certain occasions, tiaras can be a thing. They are very popular with young girls playing dress up. They are popular for Quinceanera and Sweet 16 and sometimes other birthday celebrations. They cycle through being popular with brides. I want to make my sister a butterfly themed birthday tiara, which will now be belated.

Hey! This is beautiful! That second layer...💕. Added design and strengthens the piece too. I have tons to do this week, but I hope to squeeze this in. I have an oval bracelet mandrel on the way, perfect opportunity to use it, right!?! What timing. Ugh ... I hope your appointment went well after all that stress. You didn't need Ms. Nasty to add to your week! Very brave behind the keyboard. Oh, and I also adore the barette in your short. Requesting a tutorial on something like that as well as that cuff bracelet with the single focal!

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

I knew you'd like this one! 👍😊Yes that was my intention with the second layer, I was sooo happy with the way it turned out! By all means give the oval mandrel a go! I have never used one before, so let me know if it works ok for you please!? Ms Nasty can go to you know where! She had me upset for a few days but I'm over it now! I love the barrette too, I think it turned out great for my first attempt! Lots more tutorials coming! Have a wonderful day! 👍❤🌻

[@extrabijou]

@@GumnutLaneJewellery I have always found an oval bangle to be more comfortable. And why I lean to the half bangle thing. I will for sure let you know how my temu oval bracelet mandrel works out!

[@laurettabratti6638]

Linda I'm so jealous! This is just stunning...has a holiday feeling with those color beads you used. I'm still working on my chains but hope to send photos this weekend. I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. I can totally relate because I too go to this HUGE hospital/University facility for my legs. I cannot walk far or stand at all and use a walker with a seat otherwise I couldn't get far at all. Take care of yourself and take it easy.

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Hi Lauretta, I am tickled pink to hear you think the cuff was stunning!! Thank you, I never thought about it looking like Xmas colours! As it's more burnt orange and yellowish green, but if you see Xmas, then that's ok with me! I hate that we struggle to get around as we get older! I hurt my back 30 years ago in a fall and it was fine up until 15 years ago and then the pain started! I am looking into having surgery so hopefully I will be more mobile! you take care also! 👍❤

[@laurettabratti6638]

@@GumnutLaneJewellery oh I do hope it goes well for you! I started having pain in my legs years ago. It just got progressively worse. I can walk but painful and not for very far or long. The colors on my screen came across as very holiday like. Such a lovely cuff....my mind starts racing when I think of all the possibilities! Take care of yourself and hoping you have an easy week ahead my friend! 😊✌️

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

@@laurettabratti6638 Have you found out what caused the pain in the beginning? Everyones monitor or phone seems to throw different colours, the beads I used are definitely not red and green Xmas colours! I hope if you make one you will send me a pic!? This week is going along smashingly so far (fingers crossed) take care my friend... hugs

[@laurettabratti6638]

Lymphedema with complications. I just take it one day at a time. Seems I take one step forward and two steps back...ah well, it could be so much worse. I manage. 😊 I'm so excited to try making one this weekend . What size are the wrap 'n tap pliers? I'll have to substitute as I don't have any. Hugs Linda! 😁

[@dsklava253]

Don't let that nasty uneducated comment. It's not even constructive criticism. You nailed it... Girl Scouts would not be able to do the intricate wirework you do, let alone have a GS troupe struggle with jump rings. She is most likely envious of you... you are extremely talented, and you have this originality like Oxana Crafts that also does unique amazing wirework.

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Thank you so much, I am over my shock and disappointment from that nasty comment, it and she are not worth upsetting myself over! I just hope I never hear from her again! I Thank God for the lovely comments I get from people like you!! I hope you have a wonderful day and also hope you can make it to the live stream! 👍😊

[@katzygolf]

Some people get paid to talk sh_t. Force yourself to absolutely ignore it. You bracelet is beautiful. I love it. Sorry you had a bad time. I've taken to staying in as much as possible just for peace of mind. It comes with the times.

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

I know exactly what you mean! I am over Ms Nasty now, she obviously has a sad life or maybe just mean to the bone, who knows! I also rarely leave home these days, not so much for peace of mind but because of my back! it sucks! lol Have a lovely day and make something that brings you joy!😉😊🌻

[@kirtandrews1859]

Hello beautiful work there. Your day sounds like mine most days when i go to hospital here in London uk. They have removed all the seats and you walk for miles. And arrive in so much pain you just want to scream. I have many disabilities one of which effects my energy levels and one of which gives me pain 24/7 anyhow and dodgy heart. We're all fighters. We just push and push areselves don't we. But they desperately need to bring seats back not everyone can stand so long unaided. For me it's bathroom there is never any bathrooms when I need one. And I have a need for a bathroom at any given time due to illness. Keep on with your amazing jewellery it's a fab distraction. As for fingers maybe try warming them up stiff fingers and wire don't really mix well . Take care lovely lady

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Thanks Kirt! I agree with everything you stated here, The hospital I go to is doing a huge build and renovation at the moment, so hence the long walk and no seats, the corridors are like a maze (just temporary) but that doesn't help me right now! I have a heart murmur that needs monitoring, 2 protruding discs in my lower back and a terminal illness! But I still try to smile everyday and make beautiful jewellery which brings me so much joy! 😊

[@kirtandrews1859]

@GumnutLaneJewellery Hello very similar indeed. I am in pain 24-7 thst requires 5 different types of pain relief any given time to just get through it. Plus like you a heart defect I have a extra opening so I get out of breath super quick as my beats per minute can climb upto 339!! Then I'm malnourished due to gastro issues so I'm always super fatigued. So energy is just blah and none existent so to get me there in the first place is A1.but to make me walk miles without a seat. It absolutely floors me. And then I paint a happy face on and grin and Bear it. I try to find my guide through it all in humour I find most things funny admitted. But it gets me there. 2017 I underwent a 18hr surgery to save my life they removed my entire colon rectom and anus and half of my small bowel too. So absolutely extreme. I had 6 months recovery in hospital needed to learn to walk again you name it the pain was mesmerising truly I shouldn't of been able to feel a thing owing to all the meds but I could. Bowel pain is pain like no other. But what got me through it was watching hundreds of videos of comedians. I would physically hurt from laughing but it got me through it. I'm hoping jewellery making is going to distract me through it and allow my creative side to come through just because I am housebound should not prevent me using my creative brain and currently it does. So I gotta do something. Your videos empower me with knowledge of what to do. And my creative brain will do the rest. I'm hoping to start soon will send you some pictures if they come out any good. Take care lovely 😍

[@jillgrit]

I just wanted to coment on the nasty comment made to your work. Any girlscout that made anything like that was crap. But what you do is 100x that. Yours is very skillfully applied with some fabulous clusters of stones that no child would even think to do. I love your style. I am 68 and a retired jeweler... I love the abstract freeform nature for jewelry instead of everything calculated. You have a very calm and easy way to explaine it too... Thank You...That commentor is SHIT!!!

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Hi!... Is it Jill? Thank you sooo much for the lovely comment! You really touched my heart! I can't believe a professional jeweller would even like my jewellery and style, let alone compliment me on it! 😳❤ Thank you! You have absolutely made my day! YAY and LOL at the last part of your comment!!!!! have a magnificent day new friend! 😘

[@jillgrit]

@@GumnutLaneJewellery Hi I'm Jill, I'm a recent subscriber and altho I used to be a jeweler, which entailed carving wax and refining models for molds in an industrial setting... I am an artist. And this wire style is fun. I hate that people are so rude. Good luck to you... and I hope you feel better.
