[@beadanglelee6326]

I love you, and all I've learned from you. I wish I could create like you. Bravely

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you so much for your kindness! You can do it! The first steps are always scary and exciting, but the more you craft the more you'll gain your footing and go from carefully walking to running!!!

[@ConcettaSpiteri]

I do like watching you Yvonne Williams I learned a lot from you

[@ravenhwk7756]

So looking forward to this! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work and tips! 🤗😁😁

[@JaneThomas58]

As always, most excellent. Thank you.

[@glorialarson1186]

Excellent lesson! Thank you

[@VoodooLily0522]

I don't mean this to sound creepy, but the first time I heard you make a sound effect I knew I had to follow you 😊 Love your low pressure teaching, thank you!

[@TheValerieMillerShow]

Fabulous. Thank you so much!

[@sherrybuit417]

Love you 3 loop clasp Thanks

[@tishsmiddy71]

Have a great Day Yvonne 🤟🏻❤️💋

[@JeanniesJems247]

they have magnet clasps that have an extra part that screws to lock in Love those but are hard to find

[@backtoearthcreations]

ooo! That would be the best way to fix the issues I have with magnetic clasps!!!

[@ooohlaa13]

Very good camera work, explain and kind voice. I have only used toggles 3x so far because they always get loose on my bracelet and it slides off. I don't know the physics of gravity and how this is happening and where am I going wrong Anyone else have any ideas they have noticed about this dilemma?

[@kneadinghands]

Those hook styles always seem to come undone on me. Any suggestions?

[@genesheridan1671]

Your Volume is a little low. I have mine turned up and cannot hear you very good. Good channel and good work. Thanks very much.

[@tishsmiddy71]

If you only have bare copper ( electric copper wire soft 20-22 what would you coat it with sanding and polish ing ?

[@suzanwinn1483]

Love the help you have given, Thank you. But How do you or where do you get a clasp that does not tarnish?????? Big Problem for me. I live on a Sea Coast! 😀

[@catcav29]

You weee one of the first instructors I watched about the same time you started your channel. Your videos never disappoint. You excel at teaching and bloom in creativity. Ty again for being here for all to enjoy, be inspired and learn.

[@gwenwerner8795]

I make bracelet helpers

[@kristibbradshaw]

You cannot trust the hypoallergenic label either. I’m allergic to everything but gold.

[@jirup]

If it isn't specified 'hypo allergenic' my brain automatically labels it 'pot metal'.

[@sandraphoenix441]

Sorry, I didn't realize you're usi enameled wire. That won't work in an enameled wire.

[@sandraphoenix441]

Tumbling, I mean.

[@Deb-mi1qx]

Thanks for the great tutorial, there was a lot of very useful information 👍 I hope that you are feeling better.🙏❤

[@DianeMerriam]

Sitting here going through, "Yes, I know that. I've made dozens, if not hundreds of them. And that too ..." And then you did the multi-strand clasp and it's "Oh! I haven't seen that before ... cool." Then same on the second one. Maybe I'd better go back and watch #1 and #2. Thank you so much for teaching me new things.

[@gottalovemusicnow]

You poor thing with your sore throat. I love watching your tutorials but I do have a remedy that always helps my sore throats. Take about 1/4,or 1/2 cup of warm water and salt. Maybe a tablespoon of salt and gargle with it. Hope you feel better!! 💘💘💘

[@sandytillotson]

I hope this comment shows up in the right place for what you are talking about, but you mentioned other people's designs and the one lady you mentioned you couldn't remember if her name\title was cls or csl. I watch some of her videos too and I do know that her name\title is CSL Designs. She has a British or English accent and she has long red hair. I have learned a lot from her too. I think she does more wire weaving and braiding than anything.

[@LauraHinckley]

Looking forward to this. Thank you for teaching us.

[@randeehart5984]

Thank you for sharing! Love your designs. I have a question about the wire wrapped ends on the purple beads in the necklace you used in this film. It looked double on end? Thanks

[@robinmckenzie4142]

Love this !Thank you so much for sharing !!❤❤❤

[@moonlitetarotandjewelry3098]

Thank you Yvonne, I appreciate you teaching us so much. I enjoy the way you teach.

[@annnoyez]

Hookclasps, toggleclasp, magnets... all 3 guaranteed fall af in 5 minutes in a bracelet. Even in a necklace. If it's not closed... bye bye. Already lost a zillion bracelets like that. And ye in a necklace, my hair in it... and then need siccors to get the vlasp out of my hair. And although they are much more beautiful then the ordinary lobsterclasp... I need them. Even then I lose something once in a while... I am a rough jewelry wearer... if earrings can stay in my ears for longer then an hour... congratulations... lol... you don't know how many earrings got list somewhere in my hair... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jennycavemartinez9155]

I am new to your channel, and I just started to learn about wire wrapping, thank you, for all the new things you taught us on making our own wire clasps, Love from Guam USA

[@lulu43751]

Oh wow Von what a great tutorial!! Such patience! I've been a loyal follower since I first asked you to do a tutorial on the fractal wrap, but must tell you that I still have NOT mastered the closure on the 3 in 1 bezel (gave up) you're my superstar 💫❤

[@backtoearthcreations]

Its so nice to hear from you, Louise! 3-1 is a doozy!

[@karentaylor5256]

Hey Von Hope you are having a good weekend. Thanks for sharing your work with us.

[@teresasmoot-moorer5314]

I just love your videos, thank you for sharing your gift with us...

Tenho percebido que sua câmera não fica direito seus movimentos se possível ajeitar a câmera para focar suas mãos, gratidão, abraço carinhoso daqui de Sorocaba

[@monterenee6266]

you are incredibly helpful ,and I do understand what you’re saying. ( it makes sense to me ) You’re one of the few that I can listen to for a long time , without having to mute or skip forward..besides, your constantly improving on cameras, angles, content, &you don’t make my ears hurt.!I can’t even imagine how you can do all the other segments you always talk about, plus your shows….busy woman…and hubby , too…can’t forget about him,and the animal cameos..thanks again!

[@PTBDESIGNS_4U]

Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge of your crafts ⭐ I've learned so much from your videos

[@bgrainger3477]

Glad I found your channel!! I'm just learning about making clasps. Love your channel!!! Lobster clasps are so hard to use on a bracelet. Thank you for this video!!! 😀👏💕

[@mildredjeakins5435]

I love watching you! I always learn something and I have a lot to learn. Thank you so very much for all of your time.

[@backtoearthcreations]

I am so glad to be helpful to you, Mildred!

[@lesley10ful]

please can you zoom out a bit cant always see what youre doing ty

[@sandraphoenix441]

Your clasps are amazing. However, I have damaged hands and wrists, so I find tumbling to work better to harden wire components for me.

[@kimbain4368]

I don't see anything, links or otherwise "in the description down below". Suggestions anyone? I love these videos and have been a fan for years. But where is the "description down below" section?

[@shelleybraham]

Love this video. I learned so much!! Thanks!

[@materesaricomedina5656]

Simplemente increíbles, gracias

[@backtoearthcreations]

¡Gracias! ¡Me alegra que te guste!

[@shereneliscom6736]

I think if you had a little bigger magnetic clasp it would work great & wouldnt come off so easy. I get magnets at habor freight, they are online as well for those that dont have the store in their area. They have small round ones .

[@Jacquiscreativedesigns]

I watch you guys,oxana and csl and i can say my wirewrapping is not as great as them but i have learnt so much..thannk you

[@cinwes1963]

Stop worrying your voice is fine we can understand u every word

[@cinwes1963]

Yes its alot of ppl out there BUT i like YOU

[@cookiesgoods]

I am enjoying your lesson. You are doing a great job and I find you easy to understand. I look forward to making some of the clasps.

[@heikespaddelt]

Hey, Yvonne, I really thank You very much !! And I'm in the stadium, that I would like to have some more tutorials of Your master class. So let me see. 😊😊 Greetings from Germany

[@cinwes1963]

Thats awesome I'm glad you showed us that I've truly learned alotso much from you

[@kathynoll4634]

Hi You've shown that copper wrapped pendant a few times now. What is the leaf shaped wire holding the stone?

[@yvettecintron3988]

Its nice to see something new. Love the sliders

[@lindaholland4247]

VON!! Your calming style of speaking does so much for my mood and sense of well being, you have no idea. After falling asleep in my chair, I woke up to less than 1mm size beads and findings spilled all over my chair, my floor and my lap! I heard you voice instructing Master class #3 on clasps, because my laptop was whirring away, playing video after video, due to my not shutting it off or pausing what I had been occupied with prior to dozing off. Instead of freaking out and automatically becoming upset over the situation, which is a normal response from me, I calmly picked up what I could reach and resumed watching Lesson #3. Thank you for your calming manner, in a situation that was really overwhelming, due to my limited physical capacity to move freely about without help, that allowed me to remain calm and just do what I could to fix the situation before my helper arrived. I could meditate to your calming manner and giggles. Now...back to making jewelry. Big fat hug

[@ldgga2529]

A lot of your wire work is done outside of the camera and it is annoying to watch your video.

[@Angeliquetheuniq]

38:33. Would you repeat this process please? Thanks

[@aimilee1676]

Hi Yvonne, Do you have a recommendation for a good jump ring? I see the ones you are using look thicker than mine. There is always an issue with the jump rings that I use coming lose. Wasn't sure there would be a different kind I could try. New to jewlery making.

[@backtoearthcreations]

Hello, Aimee!! The jump rings I like to use are from this kit: amzn.to/3ushVnn I think its a great starting kit, even if you are not interested in chainmaille, because it provides such a wide sampling of sizes and has the ring size and wire gauge in the organizer so its easier to reorder. I like to refill my kit by ordering from www.theringlord.com I hope this is helpful to you!

[@aimilee1676]

@@backtoearthcreations Thank you so much!! This is very helpful and I am eager to try these out. Thank you again!!!

[@viviankirkham1677]

I love watching your tutorials. I would like to get into making my own clasps but im looking at jewellery hammers and didn't realise there were so many to choose from. what should i be looking for?

[@amberhohman829]

You are getting some great closeups, and I appreciate seeing everything that's going on. (if fact, if your nails weren't messed up, I wouldn't believe you ;) ) Your voice and demeanor is very calming, and I thank you for sharing your jewelry-making journeys!

[@mcclarnon1974]

what hammers would u suggest getting that are good but affordable for hammering wire?

[@foley9871]

As All ways, Yvonne, you ROCK!! I look forward to being able to support your videos soon!!

[@loveiliang1957]

I Like how you teach . Your Voice is So healing and Therapeutic! Thank You!

Thanks love this tutorial! Where did you get that wire holder so the beads do not all off the wire while you're working?

[@carriefoscatodesign]

Thanks for having a heart for newbies! 😊

I don't see where you show which nylon jaw pliers you use in any of the Master Class videos
