Wire Wrap Master Class Lesson 5: Herringbone

[@candace9766]

I love how you're patient with your teaching.

[@mysticrosalie1437]

Omg i have been bead broke for 40yrs..I just love you..my new item is blue diamond chips...thanks for the giggles..

[@rowanmcnay]

I’m just starting out and felt compelling to say thank you so much for doing this. Such a wealth of information shared so generously!

[@backtoearthcreations]

It's my pleasure! Happy Crafting!

[@OnesimaJaurigue]

I JUST love how goofy and humble von is.true teachers always learn with us-ty so much von I actually did ask about some bizz stuff hope to hear from ya soon:) happy crafting all!! sending everyone in the comments good vibes and love beams:))))

[@micheljeanpaller1780]

An arm span is as wide as the person is tall, measuring from the tip of the middle finger to the to of of the opposite one. I love your work and the way you teach. Your voice is calming and that helps in learning. Thank you.

[@katherineknapp8838]

I can’t THANK YOU enough. I’ve stopped for a couple of years…..well, maybe only 1 1/2 yrs. (Arthritis in all joints……hands) this makes me want to start up again. There is one project I want to try. Before I stopped I was doing Tree of life necklaces. I did several, my daughter (who finally married at 40 yrs ) gave to her bride maids. The older flower girl….10-11 yrs old….I made several very cute rings, they were perfect, omg, she was so excited. (Made me fell good) I am not confident, so very insecure so I need to tell you how thankful I am of you. I didn’t give my daughter anything for her Wedding (health reasons) but know what I want to do for her. She really liked the Tree of Life so I thought I’d do a large Tree of Life for her and her husband. Really big. Maybe a foot or larger (???) when I do, I’ll be contacting you for security…..that is if I have any questions. I heard you mention someone sent you photos?? Did they send them by Email? I’d like to send you some photos so you might get an idea of how inexperienced I am. Please let me know. I’m 76 yrs old and love doing this. I made so many Shungite necklaces, about 70. Just gave them away. Anyway, please let me know if I can send a few photos…..I can’t wait to try this herringbone. I need to go back and watch the other videos. Thanks again. Katherine Knapp. (I live in Medford Oregon.

[@denaoberski]

Thank you so much for the master classes!! And please don’t take down the old ones, i watch them more than once, many times when I’m crafting along. Bless you and your efforts

[@savagetwin52]

Yvonne! I am sure glad to hit on this video. I searched for "wrapping wire Yvonne Williams". And I hit on a Masterclass. I used to follow you as an avid fan due to my interest in chainmaille which I got from you because you came you in a search for making your own jump rings. I bought everything you suggested and more. Then I just couldn't do the basic patterns as persistent as I was. Then my daughter moved back home and all my wire, saw, pliers and other tools disappeared as my child literally moved her apartment into our apartment. She couldn't find a job in her field in Philly so she moved back to NYC😐😑🤨. But thank God after the vaxxes came out and taken, she went back to Philly, but damage done. But I found one plier, my saw and a package of a yd of sterling silver. So, now, I have the basic tool....they cheap....but will do the trick. I went to do this herringbone and just couldn't get it right. I figured out that it was because I was left handed. So, now my job was to see the concept and technique and reverse it. I had somewhat of success. But gonna keep on trying. I am blessed to have connected again with you. You are one of the very best teachers on KZbin.🥰🥰🥰

[@LorenasChesed1beads]

Hello there little lapidary, how are you doing? It is grams Lorena. So happy to see you again and love that you made this tutorial for us. Although I pop in on a regular basis just to see what you're up too. I am always looking forward to seeing what is new in designing. Your sweet presence is always drawing me back.

[@T_Barb]

I so appreciate your master classes. You got me back into crafting starting with the dragon eyes. Then I’ve watched you all during the pandemic. Lol. I’ve watched the other channels you’ve recommended too and I thank you for the heads up. I was able to get my granddaughter interested too. For the things I made I posted on Facebook to my friends and titled the album “Pandemic Playtime”. Great memories. And I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you.

[@jo1650]

Yvonne, you are the most patient, thorough and informative teacher I have ever seen on YT, and I've seen many as that's the way I learned wire-wrapping and designs that I admire. Thank you.

[@THR3NA]

First time here. I often leave pc on when I fall asleep. It's my tv, lol. Anyway, I woke up listening to your calm voice at 8am. It's 12:20 and I'm still watching/listening while working. I've got to say - your teaching and feel good comments(self esteem) are warm hearted. I'd also like to say that I wish I knew you, or you were a neighbor. I just love your personality, you're a true gem. Just a beautiful soul. Thank you kindly. 💠❇🔆< (beads lol)

[@thefraug3827]

1:44:30 "Well, if we're going to be broke, if we're going to be poor...let's be broke for ourselves instead of being broke for somebody else..." My first art or craft has been writing and while you and this video has inspired me to make jewelry it first inspired me to write and I will spare it in the comments but if I ever publish on Substack this piece inspired by you and this quote above will let you know. We need more people in the world like you. We get these little nuggets of wisdom in many of your videos. Nothing too heavy or preached from a soap box, but just enough and simply put but with pretty profound meaning if you ask me. Crafting is also a great time for thinking

[@sandywall5266]

I can't believe you made this wonderful informative tutorial while you're still under the weather and how creative you are with all your creations. I actually stopped watching because you were doing do many live tutorials, I just didn't have the time to watch all that with you. I actually sped up this video a bit to watch and loved being reacquainted with your work. Thank you Yvonne so much for everything you share with us! You are totally awesome and then some!💖💖💖

[@samjones9282]

❤LOVE watching your tutorials. Your business name is so perfect for you as you are one of the most down to earth presenters ever.👍 Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with us.

[@drexmurphy6096]

oh and that is STUNNING!!!! I love love love this. My latest groove is attempting statement pieces so this is right up my alley . Have a Fantastic Memorial Day weekend, lets all remember the true meaning and heroes our lives have been blessed with.

[@pamleranger8054]

I over the past year have started making jewelry. I've watched many videos. You are hands down IMO the best. You are thorough and explain everything. I really enjoy what I've learned and thank you

[@aprilhenderson1780]

Yvonne I cannot say how much I appreciate you. My husband not so much haahaa. I started with your leather corset and it didn't turn out so good but when I get better I'll remake it cause I LOVE the design. But these Master classes are a wonderful, great full, enjoyable experience. I have learned so very much! Thank you! Next up chainmail.

[@lorna9394]

I absolutely adore your comment regarding not letting others dictate or feel badly about how you choose express yourself artistically. Your videos are wonderful, informative, and you a0re a delight!

[@robertahubert9155]

I spit my coffee when you said you were making jewelry from acorns and dental floss. And after you discovered beads you stood broke. Both that I can relate to. I was making ear rings and necklaces with small rocks, acorns and anything I found in nature. 😂😂😂😂. I painted everything and dipped in acrylic. How I got introduced to real materials was from a man at work who said his wife wanted to get rid of all her jewelry making materials. I got everything a person could ask for almost for free. She has become a very good friend and we get together every now and then to make jewelry. God is good ❤️

[@rhondajones6633]

I am still on the first wrap. I have done it three times so far. Each time gets a little better, but way worse than yours. It really makes me appreciate your expertise.

[@reginaleathers3718]

They came out so pretty the earrings. I tried it 100 times and I still can’t get to look half as good as yours, but I’m gonna stay at it and keep practicing.

[@Miastrong930]

As you talked about snarky people, I was reminded of a transformative moment in my life. I have different hobbies, jewelry making, sewing, knitting, throwing clay, large-scale stained glass, etc.. People were always nagging me about what I was going to do with all the things I made. I don't sell, but I have made commissioned items. The nagging made me feel bad about making things that did not have a destination. One day, I was at an arts and craft fair. I happened to walk thru a booth that had molded/casted glass scultures. It was unusual, and none of it matched my home. However, I was deeply moved by the amount of talent, skill, effort and time that I imagined went into making each unique piece. They were cast in sand molds. In that moment, I turned to my friend, one of the people who always nagged me, and said, "I just want to make art. I don't care what I do with it. I just want to create i dont care what happens to it when im done." Most often i give away what i make. After that moment, I never again worried about what I would do with anything I was working o😅n. I was free to allow my creativity to flow. I Thank you and congratulate you for encouraging people not to let others diminish their creativity. You shine brightly in many many ways.

[@amazingreviews876]

62 YEAR OLD MAN JUST STARTING MAKING JEWELRY! THANKS!

[@caesarsmaster]

I really want to thank you for taking the time to teach us your process. I’ve learned an immense amount of things from you. Your calm voice is so soothing, especially when I’m messing up.

[@angiezacharias1407]

I went down this rabbit hole after I spotted that Dragon eye bracelet, which was freaking awesome by the way. I am a quilter, but always made beaded things since I was 7 years old. Now I am 57 and this old dog is learning a new craft. Beautiful art work you produce. You have inspired me. Thanks.

[@Nellam99]

A year later and i'm still loving your work. Thanks for your generosity

[@tishsmiddy71]

But you keep us coming back !!! In the beginning I never knew what you would share and it was awesome,with the happiness in your voice about what you were doing was supportive and encouraging !!! 🤟🏻❤️💋🥰 So here I am years later and still excited to learn from 🥰🎉💋

[@patriciapeterson2820]

oh my!! you are such a good hearted person! funny as heck! I haven't watch you in a while and its so relaxing and inspiring at the same time!! lol

[@vz5400]

Yvonne, I just want to let you know how much I Love and Appreciate you! You so generously share your skills, wisdom, and creativity, all while keepin' it real. You are such a gift! Thank You for being YOU!!!

[@SynzTheHobbit]

Penny made me type this for her due to her wrists and hands in braces lol "I love love love lovity loveylove this class!!" ~

[@drexmurphy6096]

Thank you SO much Von for talking about "teaching" and the ways that people learn!!! Truly, because I broke my back, not once but TWICE and it looks like I have more going on right now. Ie: I'm on a LOT of meds, 31 3 times a day, including some heavy duty things such as Morphine, Oxy, Gabapentin, Methocarbomol blah blah blah so truly thank you for taking your time and explaining things in different ways because I constantly have to rewind just so my brain will comprehend. :( I appreciate you and have learned SO much from you. Thank you doll. See you soon

[@GulliversCovers]

Such wonderful craft, Yvonne! Good day!

[@lolabennion4382]

I am so encouraged now with the master classes!!! Thank you 😊🥰❤️

[@amyswan5022]

I really enjoy learning from you. Down to Earth Creations is the perfect name for you. You are so personable and easy to learn from, and down to earth.

[@marionderas8350]

You are the best teacher I have found yet for wire wrapping. Thank you so much.

[@denisepepin1702]

This one was really interesting took me back to some of your earlier ones and even after 30 years ive learned more from you than anyone else i am grateful to have found your tutorials and live crafting

[@MrRhunter64]

I watched you for the first time when you did the Eye of Sauron dragon eye and was amazed at the thought that I might be able to do something like that, however, health issues and life got in the way of achieving this. I am now retired and on disability, so all I do is sit around staring at the walls, then, as I was flipping through KZbin, I came across another one of your videos, this one. I've decided that I really need a hobby and I believe I can do this. I'll keep you posted as to any progress I might make, if any, only time will tell. I was wondering about that pendant with the three blue beads, what if you put the loops on both ends, turned them to lay flat, curve them down slightly and make a barrette out of it, just curious, not trying to change your design or anything, it was just a thought. Thank you though for inspiring me to get off my butt and at least try something. 😊

[@doctormom3650]

It was similar for me!

[@jessicajae7777]

Awe it made me sad to feel the depression through your words. I hope you found that no matter your circumstances you are still valuable and capable and have a million dollar idea. Don't doubt yourself. We all have a gift that another doesn't. So don't keep yours a secret. Share it with the world.

[@hillarygroundwell2807]

You can do it Robert 💪

[@harriotteworthington3147]

Continue finding your inspiration, Robert - I hope you stay with wire wrapping, it can be challenging and rewarding. Kind hint: Play with easier designs until manipulating the wire is second nature… knowing the little tricks will make the adventures so joyful! These tutorials are comprehensive, watch them regardless of whether you want to make the featured item or not. These videos are so helpful!

[@denisemurray412]

Your tutorials are so clear and easy to follow. I'm so glad to see these are available to view. Thank you for your quality work and enthusiasm for this craft.

[@abenedict85]

you have such a wonderfully gentle voice, I started putting on your videos just to fall alseep to, and listen while I drift away. I promise I'm watching your content too, when I'm awake. Thanks so much for making videos. I sub'd

[@jessicajae7777]

Awe because you said I was trying to be professional and you kept that 'real life' mistake in your tutorial without editing out and not being able to find a wire. The authenticity is why I'll stick around. Thank you for your talent as well

[@elizabethreed6639]

2:31am. I'd never heard of the Nylon Plyers. I will definitely be purchasing these! I love these earrings!

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you, I'm glad you like them!

[@kellyt.florko5312]

So beautiful ,,your very talented I just love seeing how you turn wire into master pieces of art ,, jewelery I could see a custom body suit. All fancy I see all possibilities too. But you are so talented. Go girl

[@michellewyandt9814]

I love your tutorials it's very therapeutic. I learn alot from you . Thank you

[@lindasherrell3335]

Yvonne, you are absolutely amazing!! Your determination to get this video completed is impressive but your creativity is astounding. You give mme so many ideas and a ton of inspiration. Thank you for everything.

[@SmileBlusJewelryNmore2024]

I'm new to all of this and lately I've been feeling so overwhelmed, confused, not knowing what I needed to purchase etc etc... THIS VIDEO RIGHT HERE IS WHAT I NEEDED!!! 👍 This video answered so many of my questions so THANK YOU for that. I do have one question for u tho: Is there something else I can use if I don't have a pair of nylon jaw pliers ( or whatever they're called lol... U know ... the ones that straightens out the wire... )? 😁

[@bcwbarb]

I'm living on SS, my retirement and in treatment for colon cancer so I have to pinch every penny. Without Amazon, Temu and Walmart I could never afford to do crafting. I will say that many of the Amazon sellers are also on Temu. I figure out the per piece price for each and choose the most affordable. I use the 50 cent bottles of Walmart paint and Amazon, Walmart and Temu all deliver to the door so it doesn't matter if I can't get out of bed that day. Whenever possible I buy from YT crafters (like sales or clearance). I can't wait to pick out a $10 box from Yvonne. If you ever want to do tumblers the best sales are at Stainless Steel Depot. They have a "imperfect" box you can get cheap and mostly it's damaged boxes or missing straws/lids.

[@SmileBlusJewelryNmore2024]

​@@bcwbarb Tyvm for replying I appreciate that! And tyvm for the tips! 👍😘👍

[@melme33]

I love these! I found your bail problem solving/options very inspiring. Thank you for sharing!

[@appleholic1553]

Thank you for sharing your great work. I am left handed but over the years I've become able to understand by watching KZbin videos and a lot of the time do things right handed in the beginning then switching up to where I'm more comfortable. I guess it's magic ✌🏼️

I am so thankful your so kind. And are will to share I have been doing this for 3 years.

[@kathycorkery1630]

Wow! You make herringbone look easy!But I have made it and know it takes some practice. lovely

[@jacquiliddell7680]

Really enjoyed this and I agree that you need the lengthy tutorials to really get it into your head what to do.

[@cheryl3895]

Thank you so much! I am new and this is the first tutorial I've watched and most definitely not the last. You taught me so much in this one I really can't wait to watch more. Thanks again, your new fan😊

[@altheamcnabb2829]

LOL. You are so sweet. When I did jewelry shows and someone was smart like that to me. I just told them to stop asking stupid questions. Their mouth dropped, I made my mouth drop. They moved on. Im a bit of a smart a$$. Every once in a while someone would say, well you just lost this salel. I said, I don't care! Usually the other person listening would buy what they had in their hand just for the purpose of me not letting them put my work down. So, I still made a sell to the people with common sense. hehehe. I will admit, being off these few days from a sinus issue and binge watching you has got me wanting to tinker with my jewelry again and start making some money again at it. Its been years and god knows I have thousands invested in all the tools and jewelry bits and bobs as YOU KNOW how that ads up fast in the jewelry world. You have a couple of hand tools I don't have yet but Ive got almost everything. I still have raw clay in the bottom of my fridge for silver and copper also. That was a fun class I took years ago also, no idea if the clay is still any good. Althea

[@moonlit.sunflower]

Von! I am so grateful for you, and your informative masterclasses! I am a complete novice, and I absolutely love rewatching them! - and I still laugh each time as if I was hanging out with a biffle.

[@debraphillips8921]

So beautiful, I truly appreciate your sharing and I enjoy your classes. I am also looking forward to seeing more of them. I get such a kick when you make mistakes, It makes me feel better about my own. You are such a gift..

[@lolabennion4382]

I had to laugh when you were pulling the wire because that so happens to me… it’s sooo nice to know that a pull twist is the thing to do….PS i have been trying to do the herringbone wrap and given up on it..thank you for helping us that need more help ❤️

[@alishaziegler6632]

This was great to watch even though I'm familiar with herringbone (I'm always down to learn how others do things)! Very informative and inspirational. I liked seeing how you did the rings - months ago I tried to find a tutorial for a herringbone ring but to no avail, so I just trial-and-errored it using non-herringbone wirewrapped ring techniques till I figured out a way to make one that worked (I had an aha moment watching a tutorial for an offset drilled round bead ring). That last piece with the herringbone-inception was AMAZING! Thanks for taking the time to make these tutorials!

[@bettynewhouse5150]

Thank you SO much for recording these lessons !
