I love how slow she goes and explains this in detail. I can actually see what she is doing. Thank you!

Nice and clear instructions, easy to follow, and its really nice to hear a soft northern accent and not some harsh grating American one(some are OK TBH). Anyway many Thanks for the tutorial!

As an instructor in museum-quality dollhouse miniatures, I must praise your excellent teaching skills! You cover EVERY question that we might have, before we can even ask! Your explanations of 'why' you do certain steps are 'right on'. I've always felt that 'because' isn't a good enough explanation. I want to know 'why' - what happens if I don't do that, or do it another way - and you're always one step ahead of me! ;D I must also comment on your choice of the color of stones, wire, and backgrounds.... they make it so much easier to see details. Good contrasts with the solid color stones and silver wire! Gorgeous designs, excellent technical skills - we're so lucky to have you offer these tutorials! Thank you! ;D

I really appreciate the visibility and verbal instruction was super clear. Best I’ve seen yet. Thank you

Wish I'd found you a couple years ago when I first tried wire wrapping!  Not only are your instructions crystal clear, but your voice is very pleasant to listen to.  Great work!

I have recently discovered your videos. i am a rock prospector who was looking for ways to make my stones more marketable to the average person. OMG. you are really good at the things you do. i am now practicing some of your techniques. thank you so much for your instructural videos.

[aidabari]

I am a beginner to wire wrapping and your clear instructions have helped me so much. Also, you have a very soothing voice 😁

Great video and clear instructions. I must say this is not nearly as easy as you make it look and after trying it, I realized it would take lots of practice to get it right. You are very inspiring. Thanks!

I have watched so many of your video's I feel I know you. Well, even my husband recognises your voice! I do all sorts of beading and have just started to wire wrap. I am now going to buy some cabochon's on the strength of your superb video after practising on beach stones and using garden wire! Everyone has to start somewhere. You always amaze me with your knowledge. Many thanks.

Most excellent work... and explained in such a way that even an idiot (like me) could follow along with no problems.

[heidijones]

I actually didn't do too bad on mine, I made it while I was watching this.

Thank you SO much.
Trying to learn, love your designs.
Your tutorial is so descriptive, helps tremendously. You go slow enough I can follow, but don’t drag it out like some do.
Good job, thanks.
