Thanks a million! I learned a lot, especially twisting the weaving wire instead of snipping.

I made it. Took me a while of slowing down the video, backing up, rewatching, etc. I like the pretty weaves. It looks great! The next one will go faster!

This is a great tutorial. I am a beginner, and the excellent videotaping and wording during the lessons were essential in being able to follow the instructions. Thank you, Ellie, for sharing this with your students.

You are a very good teacher. Thank you for this.

[tracydriscoll]

This is a great basic design that, like you said, is great for beginners! I also like that you use the method to snap off the 28g wire when you've finished using it vs snipping it. Thank you! ❤

I agree with trustworthyjane. This is not a beginner video. It is wonderful that you spend the time that you do creating videos and posting them so that others are able to learn this skill and I am not trying to be difficult when I say this video can be very frustrating for people who are in the very first stage of learning to work with wire and may give up because you make it look so easy You are a very good teacher. .It actually takes quite a bit of skill and it isn't about going slower, although that would help. I started with learning to make very simple earrings and after a couple of years of practice on more and more difficult things, have attempted to try projects like this. this is a fairly simple one as far as this type of project goes but it really does take more than beginner skill. Although maybe we have different ideas of what a beginner is. My finished product looks nothing like yours but I will try again and then try something more complicated when I get it right. Thank you for posting this project and for all the others. Beautiful

Love your tutorials. For those that have multiple metal allergies, do you have any brand/gauge recommendations for 304 stainless wire? Having trouble finding any that are malleable enough to do detail work.

[gypsybarrett]

Do you have any recommendations for padded clamp for weaving?? My fingers start to get real cramped 😅😅😅 maybe I'll ask for one for Christmas 🎉🎉🎉😂
