I stayed up all night making this piece just because I had all of the stuff. It turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I feel as if I have been given keys to unlock a magical realm of my own creativity. I'm truly amazed and cannot stop staring at it. Thank you so much. I am going to go and share what I have learned with others.
Das ist echt wunderschön und abgefahren! Es trifft genau meinen Geschmack!!! Beeindruckend was du kannst👌 Wirklich cool
“And there was much rejoicing” 😂 I love you more with every video
As an artist who struggles with being a perfectionist, I love and appreciate the fact that you own your mistakes and you don't let them stop you. You keep going and even incorporate those mess ups into your art. I hope one day that I can force myself to do the same. It would make art easier and more enjoyable honestly.
Nice work Yvonne y want to learn,from Chile
These will be perfect for my wire life size fairy sculptures. Thank you.I've been having trouble because the way you can see through the entire sculpture enhancing the eyes. I stand all amazed at your work.
That sounds amazing!
Great channel! Wonderful ideas and subjects....good to see artists who work with possible mistakes and dont throw things away. I want to join but am having trouble with getting the info to do that. LOVE THOSE EYES! I have an Egyptian Eye that is mesmerizing! Thank you for sharing your ideas with us!💚💙👍
Love your video Yvonne! I'm glad you showed that an artist can make a mistake and just go with it rather than scrapping it!
looks very professional.
For some reason I kept seeing this finish up as a beautiful bracelet. Striking!!
I love how you deal with oopses - just roll with it and move on. Something i need to remember in my own work!
I'm glad I found your channel! You're so bubbly and fun and you can tell that you adore what you're doing! I love watching you craft these amazing pieces! Keep up the good work.
Love your little "Thor's hammer" ... Epoxy is good ... Tacky can be good ... lol ... Wonderful work ... Got two more boxes ready to go out next week, maybe sooner ... ALL HAIL THE CRAFT GODDESS !!!!
lol, Randy calls me a wee bitty black smith when he looks over and sees me using a tiny anvil and little hammer :p You are so generous! I will be wrapping your amber when I get home from the convention this weekend :-D

Pretty work!
I love the flat wire!! Very unique pendant!!
I'm in awe of your talent!! Gorgeous work!!!
wow, thank you!
always so lovely!! I love the colors in the eye!
really neat! like this one, looks easy to do! Thanks for showing your techniques!
Thanks, Vicki! :-D
Pretty I loved 👍👍👍👍👍
OMG you are amazingly talented!! I'm an artist myself, but WOW!
Clever clever girl 🤟🏻❤️💋 Thank you 🎉
it would make a great centerpiece for a
headband
OMG!! Love watching you! I cant wait for my SS check to come in so I can buy supplies 😃
These eyes are awesome!
Wow, thank you!
That back spiral was in my head. Get outta my head!! I just made a hair piece with the same design yesterday. (the spiral design with a dragon eye) I haven't taken a photo of it yet for my page, but I will.
This would fit so well with my scalemail circlet!
(And fit the entire theme for that matter, since i made a whole armour in scale mail with a bit of a dragonish feel)
How funny! I sing the Flash Gordon song while working sometimes too.
j adore!!!!! super!!!! vous etes très forte!!! à bientôt
Yet another great creative and informative video ... thanks for sharing! :-)
Thank you so much, I think this tutorial has helped solve my dilemma with my bracelet. Will post a pic soon. Think I am going to use some twisted silver wire I have and there is another wire wrap technique from another tutorial I want to try to do eyelashes with. They used it for the rays of a sun.
Well done. Thank you for sharing your process.
Thank you, Amanda! Its my pleasure, so thanks for watching!!
You are amazing, and thank you for your videos. I am hoping to learn a lot from you and maybe purchase some goodies soon.
Yay!!! I hope I can be helpful to you!
Love it
this so reminds me of "the eye of Odin" from Disney's Gargoyles cartoon
Lovely content! Keep it up!
I hope you're an affiliate with Amazon. You could earn a bit of $ whenever someone takes your link to a product (as I plan on doing to get the flat wire, lol!). I really appreciate you leaving in the mistakes. So many others cut them out because they don't want to show anyone they're not perfect (and nobody is!!!), but I've learned soooo much from seeing how you take a problem (like scratching it, wow, have I done that a zillion times!!!) and making it into an asset. I was making a ring the other day and the wire just didn't go the way I wanted it. I was ready to scrap the whole thing and then I thought, I'll bet Yvonne could make it into something nice. So I left it aside for a little bit, watched a few more of your videos, and then came back and added in something. Not what I planned, but it's better than scrapping it all.
Yvonne Hi, I love your tiger eyes , I just want to try it so bad and as my health gets better I am . You inspired me to try this I have so many cats I could do cats eyes ! Thanks for all your videos ! Catch you later Lisa
I just love what U do actually u just make it so simple and lovely keep it up to the stars :)
Sounds like you are near the Ocean. Are those waves I hear in the background? I like your video. very instructive
Awesome!
Thanks Joan!
glitter in the epoxy would look cool!
ooo, yes it would!! :-D
gorgeous as always Missy
You have inspired us! Thank you!
no no no i wont let you talk me into dragging out my wire wrapping wire to start project ans then find myself missing something and not finish it ! i love it ! however i took up oil painting as well i love it acrylics too ... im going nuts stuggling between both worlds lol its just crazy .. but i love your videos so i will keep them so when i go back to wire wrapping they are awesome .
amazing
you are awesome!
I would put this on a clip for my hair. 💕
ooo, that would look so cool!
that's amazing...
This is exactly the same way I made my bracelets, with the spiral on the back of the cab and herringbone wrapped (will send you a pic on messenger) 😉 great minds think alike 😁
lol, right on!! Its effective, thats for sure!
Hi, I've made some beautiful eyes using your method and thank you for the tutorials. I'm having a problem mounting them though - I've been using quick-hold from the same company that makes E-6000, but it melts the nail enamel and has ruined some of them. Please, remind me what you do after painting of the eye is done, and what adhesive you use. especially for mounting the eye to a flat backer like a gear. Thanks and thanks for all your wonderful tutorials!
GRANDIOSO¡¡¡ GRACIAS
I love that one, where can I buy some of your creations? I would love to give them as gifts. Please reply back to me. Thanks.
until the resin is dry, it is susceptible to fingerprints in the surface of the resin which can dull the reflectiveness, which can work for or against you.
I wanted to say thank you and I enjoy your artwork... I made a few eyes using some items from the dollar tree store and wanted to send you a picture of the one I did but I'm having trouble sending the attachment from my cellphone.
This is simply gorgeous, Yvonne! I watched your Dragon Eye of Sauron Tutorial, and have been practicing on $ store glass stones, but bought some good quality 25mm ones yesterday to try. I've fallen in love with dragon eyes :) Your tutorials are so detailed and make it easy, thank you so much for sharing all the details, and mistakes. You make it easy jump in a try things. The flat wire on this one seems to have a copper finish in the video, but I see the link takes me to silver wire. Am I confused?
Thank you, Nikki!! I wasn't able to find the same tone of wire online as what I used in the tutorial (I've had that spool of wire for ages!) but it is the same brand and will behave the same :)
Thanks for getting back to me, Yvonne. The one you linked to looks like a great deal, so I'll go with that. Thanks again for all the inspiration.
Okay so can you tell me where you get glass cabs?
Did I hear you sing a few words from the song Flash by Queen? I love Queen :) Beautiful work as always :)
Hi just been looking at the dragon eyes just wondering what tools you used for scraping the nail polish of with
How much do you usually charge someone to make a dragon eye pendant for someone?
Yvonne, new to all this,,can you use acrylic paint instead of nail Varnish ? or is it best i by nail varnish
I'm currently into beading but I'm thinking of expanding to include wire wrapping as its so pretty! Is this design something that could be mounted on a piece of leather to make a bracelet or even a choker (I would use a smaller eye for a choker lol) and how would one go about getting it to stay to the leather? Would you epoxy it? Or sew it on?
I will do a video showing how I would do it! :-D
Awesome thanks very much! I look forward to watching it! :)
Hi Von! A question, please. When attaching the flat wire for the back...is your cabochon covered with ModPodge dimensional coating, does that play well with the 2-step epoxy?
The wire's not scratched, it's distressed. 😎😋
I lost you on my it her phone. I'm so veary Happy I found you .an got you on this phone.
Hi Von! Just a quick question....When adding the flattened wire to the back does ModPodge dimensional sealant play well with 2 part epoxy? Thanks in advance.
Hey, Lucinda! In my experience they play well together, but I always make sure the modpodge is completely cured; its water based so as far as I am aware it should be non-reactive.
New sub.
If you have any ideas for the nose and lips I would love to see them!!! They are outdoor sculptures made of chicken wire by the way.
ooo, I will be sure to let you know!
There are no mistakes, only happy little accidents.
*proceeds to scratch the living daylight out of the wire*
😆
how about a headband? it would make a good third eye headband
Hello Yvonne, Can I put this wire in an oven at 275 for 45-60 minutes? Thanks for a reply.
Hey, Lady! I think it will be ok; if anything I would recommend testing a piece of scrap first to make sure it doesn't discolor
Thank you Yvonne, I will give it a try and let you know how it turns out.
Do you have a way someone could purchase anything from you. Some of us are not good at creating stuff like that.
Hey, Terrell! I do! you can go to the shop tab on my website; www.backtoearthcreations.com though I don't have much listed at this time
How do I donate please?
Can i use hot glue, or super glue??
??? Whenever I click the link to your Patreon, it says that the page does not exist.
I just tried it and it worked for me. Are you accessing it through a phone or tablet? I've noticed the UA-cam links in descriptions don't usually work if I'm on my Kindle. It's patreon . com / backtoearthcreations (just take out all the spaces...if I put in the actual link, UA-cam will probably flag my comment as spam).
Thanks for your help! It ended up working when I copied and pasted the link.
This Von would make a great String Tie Medallion..more geared towards males i spose if you need something more masculine for your sales..also for those that wear cowboy hats it would make a great hat band centerpiece.
Someone could make a ton of these and sell all of them at a comic convention or ren fair.
lol, thats basically what I've been doing for years :p
J in Mjölnir is pronounced like y in yellow.

Got dammit, fuck it...I'm gonna sub. Just so good to watch....interesting,easy to watch and we'll instructed.
having trouble singing up on patreon
