Remember it's hand made. Hand made doesn't mean perfect as in machine, manufactured, but has that touch of authenticity🤗, yes!!!

I love that you showed us your whole process. The ones who edit out make it difficult for others to learn the trucks and tips to shorten our errors. I love that you used round wire. Everyone uses flat, and it’s harder to find and more expensive. Thanks for. Your teach!

Even better I really like when people are really honest so thanks don't mind watching you struggle I do it all the time.

I truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge and talent! After MANY crescent moon tutorials YOU have been the first to show and explain that it’s not as easy as it appears until we have some practice! I actually gave up trying for awhile… thank you so much for your honesty!

Thank you

[debbiesteward]

I'm glad you didn't edit it. It teaches us how to fix our mistakes and let's us know not to get all stressed out! You did great. Thank you

[Sssmaug]

Yes! to Debbie's comment - showing us how to adjust to get out of a tight spot is so valuable, we feel less like dorks. 😁 Thank you! 🙂 I love your work & this pendant is delightful! 💗

[tarinamclennan]

I'm glad you kept the whole process in there, people can see that there is a long road to making hand crafted items look so beautiful!

[cherylburkitt]

[christinedutton]

Thank you so much for sharing this. Love them so much. ❤ Awesome job. 😊

[annnicholson]

You have the true heart of a teacher! You shared your struggles so that we would persevere when we encountered the same issues. Just discovered your tutorial today; what a blessing!!

[katiefitzgeraldfyten]

I really enjoyed your tutorial. It's pretty nice to see the fact that even the best wire wrappers can have a difficult time just like a beginner. You're so very kind and have a very pleasant voice thank you for sharing this.

[lauramatheney]

I really like that you didn't edit it out. More real.

[tonyahwindle]

I Love that you DID NOT edited out how many times you had to hammer and mess with the wire. It shows that you actually have to work at it and it isn't something that just goes into place. Thank you for that

[kelleyspartiatis]

Thank you for not editing your video. I am quite good at learning new crafts buy am really struggling with wire. I've been trying for a week and I've made some ok things but nothing I would wear or gift to anyone. I was starting to think it just isn't for me. It looks so easy for others. You've made me want to keep at it.

[lianefehrle]

8:52 I’m glad you keep stuff in. You are right. The thought process of stringing beads correctly and wire wrapping is more time consuming artistically

[lorbellabetts]

Thanks so much! I usually repeat at least 3 times when learning a new design and it gets better and better. This one I’ll give a try for sure!

[jesseelisabeatty]

I loved that I got to see it slow and " in processes ( not " perfect" that it took some work ..the realistic version, ) it gave me confidence, I'm new to wrapping, I get frustrated, following your tutorial had me laughing at myself ( I just got a block and hammer..kept missing hitting the wire..lol thank you for the awesome tutorial I subscribed
