I just finished making this and I am beyond happy! I think I'm going to try to make it out of stainless steel next time. My wife says it is very masculine looking! Thanks for all your excellent tutorials!
So, I was making the cross. I don't know really what happened. My brain took over my body and my mind floated away with your guitar. Before I knew it, I completed my goal. I'm so proud of myself. Thank you. I love it when I find content that I didn't know I needed until after I was done watching it. Your voice is so soothing, I think that might be part of it.
Thank you for this tutorial! It was super easy to follow. I love that you showed how many open and closed rings you had for each stage and the fact that you went slow enough for me to keep up. A lot of the Chainmail tutorials I've found either go to fast, you can't see what's going on or they don't give good instructions. The cross I made took a few more rings to beef it up, but it looks super good! I used stainless steel, 17 gauge rings on a 1/4 inch diameter and brass, 14 gauge rings on a 5/16 inch diameter center. I used 4 rings in between the byzantine and connecting the arms and leg of the cross. I used 3 brass rings on each end instead of one big ring and 2 small. I also used 3 brass for the center ring.
Yvonne, I made two of these, and they both turned out really nice. One of them though I started out with 14-gauge 10-mm rings for the center that you attached the 12 18-gauge rings to, and that made it really stable. Therefore, I didn't need to add the a 2nd ring for the final part of the weave where you add the rings to the 4 corners. I really enjoyed this tutorial, and I love the design. You're a terrific designer. Looking forward to your next chainmaille tutorial.
AWESOME!☺ Another BEAUTIFUL piece & GREAT tutorial! It was good to see that even YOU, being the EXCEPTIONALLY TALENTED artist you are, can get "lost" while doing a project. lol😉 Nice 2 know u are human 2! 😂 THANK YOU for another WONDERFUL learning experience! 💚
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial today. I ran out and picked up rings to play. I used two of your tutorials. If I figure out how I will post them for you.
Yvonne, I love your channel and your tutorials! You inspired me. I live in Canada so was happy to order from the Ring Lord. Got the ring sizes from a bunch of your tutorials and I did this project first. I wish I could add a picture here to show you but can't seem to add one from my iPad! Anyway thank you!
First, I love your tutorials! I've learned so much! Second, I tried this pattern and I think I got something wrong... getting just the second ring of the "outer circle" (last step before adding the "bail" ring where a chain would attach) was nearly impossible, much less a third ring. It LOOKS the same as yours but was an absolute battle. Thoughts?
Yay!!! I make a lot of my bracelets and other jewelry from aluminum and enameled copper, but I also love stainless steel, bronze, german silver, titanium, niobium..... all of the metals have their pros and cons, lol, but aluminum is my go-to
Yvonne; Great tutorial! I know from the comments that you make your own rings, and you buy your colored rings from the Ring Lord. The Ring Lord uses SWG (if I'm not mistaken), so for the rings you make yourself, are you using SWG as well? Thanks for all the great tutorials, I love the Elfstar pendant as well.
Wow! Thanks for the prompt reply :) I love your videos and I think you do some great work. You were absolutely right with what you said about getting overwhelmed. I think that sometimes, especially with new "weavers", we can get overwhelmed by the amount of rings we have on the bench and the sheer number of twists and turns that can be made. Your advice was spot on - just step back, take a little break and come back to it. It has helped me numerous times. Keep up the great work, and I hope to see more of you in the future! BTW - Subbed!
My dear, greatly admire you work, would just like a clarification, the measure of 3/16" And 1/4" rings are of they external or internal measure? Thaky you Very much mm
Hey, Jessica! I make all of my own bright aluminum jumprings and sell them here: www.backtoearthcreations.com/kits-and-materials.html and I get my colored rings from www.theringlord.com
Yvonne have you ever watched Celtic dreams do this design he tends to do it much simply he’s the first that I saw and could say I get that straight away
Yvonne, I love your "UA-cam" Video's you make it look easy and some of this is not! Are these SWG or AWG rings and sure which you would have put the total number needed of each. Also is this ID or OD?
Hello Yvonne! I'm trying to make your beautiful cross and I was wondering if you were able to give me the dimension of the rings in milimeters and please mention if it's the inner portion of the jump ring.
First you need to say either large or small don't use small then the 3/16 it's very confusing and the way you had it laid out nothing made sense I was so confused I just quit the video and found another one

I loved this tutorial, and was wondering how long the finished cross measures, top to bottom, and how wide across. Thanks for such good videos.
Lovely cross and lovely face. I am going to trying it. TFS! I have subscribed.

First, I love your tutorials! I've learned so much!

Just by curiosity, do you possibly have this same cross in 2 in. For sale? I really like this particular pattern you made.
I love your videos and I just purchased your starter kit. Are all your bracelets made with aluminum jump rings ?
Yay!!! I make a lot of my bracelets and other jewelry from aluminum and enameled copper, but I also love stainless steel, bronze, german silver, titanium, niobium..... all of the metals have their pros and cons, lol, but aluminum is my go-to
Thanks ! Can't wait to get my jump rings and get started !
I just love this heart so much I wish I could do this
Use 2 large rings at start where you add first 12 , makes it very firm.
Yvonne; Great tutorial! I know from the comments that you make your own rings, and you buy your colored rings from the Ring Lord.

Hello! The rings I make are in SWG as well :)

My dear, greatly admire you work, would just like a clarification, the measure of 3/16" And 1/4" rings are of they external or internal measure? Thaky you Very much mm
Hello! The measurements I give are of the inner diameter :-) I hope this helps!
Because you got confused I got confused to is there anyway of making the pattern in print
You probably don't look at this but can I use 6mm and 4mm ? Thanks !
Hey! Its definitely worth a try!
Thanks , that's all I have and it's a lot of them ! Lol
Where do you buy your jump rings?I love the cross and would like to try making my own but I have trouble finding jump rings that are good quality.
Hey, Jessica! I make all of my own bright aluminum jumprings and sell them here: www.backtoearthcreations.com/kits-and-materials.html and I get my colored rings from www.theringlord.com
Thank you! I really love the jewelery that you make! :D
where you can buy such colored wheels made of aluminum
Is this for sale? And if so how much?
What are the 16 gauge and 1/4 in millimeters Yvonne?
Hey, Annette! 16ga is 1.6mm and 1/4" is 6.4mm I hope this is helpful to you!
Yvonne have you ever watched Celtic dreams do this design he tends to do it much simply he’s the first that I saw and could say I get that straight away

WHOA so nice
Thank you! :)
It is, indeed, very cool.
Здорово, спасибо🙏
Just to let you know, you wrote in the materials description 3/6'' instead of 3/16''. :-)
ah, thank you! I will go in and fix that :)
😍😍😍😍😍😍
:-D
Sick.
Do you have an email address that you can give me as I have a lot of questions I need to ask you, thanks.
First you need to say either large or small don't use small then the 3/16 it's very confusing and the way you had it laid out nothing made sense I was so confused I just quit the video and found another one
I'm sorry my video wasn't helpful to you, thank you for your input.
