    Thank you, wire wrapping feels so overwhelming, but this tutorial actually made it feel a lot more manageable. I have sea glass from my local beach and this is going to happen now, Thank you again

      Exactly! I really wanted to make some wire-wrapped jewelry but they all looked so professional and perfect - didn't know if I could do it.

    Great tutorial ! I live along the Atlantic coast and in the 45 years I've lived here I never heard of Sea Glass until a few days ago. I'm going out looking for Sea Glass tomorrow. Thanks to your wonderful tutorial i'm going to try my hand at making Sea Glass jewelry. Wish me luck!

    I learned more about this type of wire wrapping, than I've ever learned before.
    Simple and intuitive.
    Thank you very much.

    Oh my gosh!!! This was so helpful :D Someone just yesterday asked me to wirewrap something and I said I'd have to find a good video for it, and what's the first one I look at? The good one! Thank you a million for having this so clear and easy!!!

  • @letitdie00
    @letitdie00 11 років тому

    Very simple, easy to watch video. Thank you for this tutorial, it's brilliant. Contrary to what a few comments said about the background noise, I actually found it quite soothing and liked the crackle of the movement of the wire (but that's just me!). Very helpful, thank you so much.

  • @thomasjones5383
    @thomasjones5383 12 років тому

    I have to say, I've never liked wire wrapped anything, even professionally done it often looks like a 4th grade art project;but I like yours! It looks finished and put together without trying. This is really one of the best examples I've ever seen. Brava!! Great job, and to think it's only a tutorial.
    Change of tune...Tom Jones (no really)!!!
    THANKS for converting me!!!

  • @cathyjenkins5985
    @cathyjenkins5985 12 років тому

    @jennybuck1000 13 років тому

    Gail, you did an incredible job! You can bend wire faster than anyone I know.Thanks so much. I will watch over many times. I have been twisting wire for 10 years and I do not move that fast! Great video! Thanks! JB

You made it look easy, I will be watching this video over and over while I try my first piece!!! Thank you again!

  • @giddalti
    @giddalti 11 років тому

    I haven't started making jewelry yet, but I've noticed that every designer has his or her own style -- their trademark touches. I'm waiting for my stones to arrive. I can't wait to start creating. I have ideas (from watching youtube videos) regarding what I'm going to do with the wire and stones. Yet, until I get my fingers on the materials, I can only imagine where my designs may go. Thank you for sharing!

  • @jendb1234
    @jendb1234 10 років тому +39

    Best tutorial I've seen on how to wire wrap beach glass. It's much easier to follow & stay focused without all the rambling in the background, your on screen memos are a smart way to convey the steps as you go. Would love to see more vids from you. Thank you!

    • @GayleBird
      @GayleBird  10 років тому +5

      My pleasure! I also get distracted by audio. I guess this is a visual learner's medium!

    Thank you so much for posting this! I'm unemployed and looking for something that I can do to sell and you just saved me $35 for a course. I've bookmarked your demo so that I can pause it and go along step by step. I'm lucky to live on the shoreline where we have some beautiful shells and I'm going to try the technique with those.

    Thank you so much for this informative, easy video......I can't wait to try your technique. I've tried several times, out of my own head, and nothing worked....this looks very easy - well, somewhat after some practice. Thanks again!

  • @mindiellis2758
    @mindiellis2758 12 років тому

    GAYLE!! I had taught myself another way,almost similar,using on long piece of wire folded in half,and twisting it at the points,but I think I like your way even better,especially with the extra wire to turn into embellishment [s] Very PROFESSIONALLY MADE VID! You inspired me to get back to work!!! Now,,I am looking for a way to wire-wrap round objects,,like tumbled stones in a less primitive way than I have been experimenting with...I'll get back here again sometime .I really enjoyed this PEACE!

    @whippetchick 11 років тому

    I LOVE this tut!!! So simple and fast, but the results are beautiful!! I found the background noise to be a bit distracting, but it might be because I have a migraine.
    I used this method to wrap a chunk of green malachite, and used the extra wire to curl and attached peridot Swarovski beads. It was a gift for my SIL, and she loves it!!
    Many thanks!!

  • @hawneebee
    @hawneebee 11 років тому

  • @giddalti
    @giddalti 11 років тому

    Wow! That is beautiful and easy -- making it twice as nice. When you created the "S" designs that tightened the fitting, I thought that was really a nice look. I thought that was going to be the front of the jewelry ... just something to think about for future designs. Thank you so much for sharing your skill and talent with the world!
