    In an effort to counteract the mean comments, I like your voice! I think you're very eloquent and pleasant to listen to. You have a unique way of story telling with a flavour of humour without it feeling like a weird comedy. Especially in your look books, I think your commentary is excellent!

    Back at school during a couple of home economics lessons we used a similar technique - heated household items to shape petals) Our teacher poured some sand in a pan and we heated spoons in it.
    Btw, for all the impatient people that say you talk slowly, well, they can just use this nifty feature increasing the speed of the video. Won't lie, I use it myself from time to time) One's impatience is no excuse to be rude to a creator who likely poured hours of effort into making a video 😑

  • @kjtherrick4031
    @kjtherrick4031 3 роки тому +14

    I say "no" to buying fancy flower tools. Why waste your money when you (1) have things that work and (2) could get more things (i.e., ice cream scoop, large rounded serving spoon) at a thrift store, Dollar Tree, or grocery store? The money you save can go toward more silk! Plus, small pillows can easily be sewn from scraps and then stuffed with scraps, such as the bits from cutting out flower petals. The flowers you made and formed into a corsage are beautiful. I like your hat, speech pattern, and voice too!

I have to echo what I am sure will be the majority consensus in these comments and say, your voice is absolutely lovely. I find you so soothing and I love the way you describe things. I often think, when you are doing your commentry, that you are so eloqent and make everything so interesting - giving us a bit of back story and explanation. Please don't take any notice of those negative comments, if they don't like your voice - there's the door, and as we say in Scotland, "Dinnae let it hit you on the arse on the way oot" 😁😁 xxxx

    Wait, what? You have one of my favorite voices on UA-cam. When I come back to your videos I am reminded how much I love your voice and the way you speak. I have a form of ADHD and probably auditory processing disorder, so your speech pattern and the sort of factual way of story telling and your humor is so pleasant to listen to. I can listen to you all day. Regarding the flower making, oh my gosh, you are such a genius. The fancy tools are holding me back from going the silk flower route and have been researching alternatives but nothing beats this!!! You are so resourceful and creative! Gosh. Love, love, love this video

  • @debbielough7754
    @debbielough7754 3 роки тому +7

    Before I had an egg iron, I used a melon baller and ice cream scoop. And thin nose pliers (which I still use). That's actually what my millinery teacher told us to use if we didn't have tools.
    One tip - if you can heat the tool over something electrical - a hot plate, or have it touching an iron for a while - it's better. Using an open flame can cause blackening of the tools, which can then transfer to the fabric. Can be a problem if you're using a lighter coloured fabric, so it's worth remembering.

Can you also share links to the UA-cam video tutorials that you found most helpful? Finally: your voice is everything other viewers say it is - informative, calming, but I also really appreciate your precision of speech. Accurate, to the point, no mindless rambling and especially no mumbling! Perhaps you are editing out the complainers from your comment section, but I’m reading through all of the comments most of the time and your followers also seem to be a thoughtful and interesting bunch with valuable things to say.

    Hi, I'm partially deaf and your speech makes it easier for me to hear what you are saying it's very helpful when I can't see your face. The flowers turned out beautifully and yes get the dohicky and make more pretty things.💖

    I find it so refreshing to listen to someone who's speech isn't peppered with "ums" and "ya knows," never mind the rising inflections on the end of every other word making everything sound like a question. As far as purchasing the flower making tools... do it.

    Gorgeous! I must now stop myself from diving into flower making without a plan for actually being able to use them effectively!
    Your voice is great! You speak quick, but your diction is good, and you don't whine or talk through your nose. Perfect!

    I fall into the category of people that really like your voice ❤️ it's so soothing, on nights I have trouble sleeping I'll replay your videos to help me sleep better 😊 Also, in case you need an excise to buy flower making tools, I think you should! Your flowers turned out so beautiful and if the proper tools save time imagine how amazing it would be to scraps from every project to make matching flowers! Now I want to make flowers too...

    Ignore the haters, if they don't like it they don't have to watch. Your voice is lovely, soothing and your dry humor is hilarious, and it helps me get through a long day of work listening to a nice technical eloquent series of instructions😁 and you're incredibly talented, and I think those go hand-in-hand. I used to hate my voice until a few of the older customers at my work came in and remarked on how beautiful my voice was and how it had an old-timey quality to it they found so refreshing, and then I realized I wasn't out of place, I was a true classic, and so are you

    I have a mini clover craft iron with multiple attachments that I think would work for this. Much cheaper than the professional gizmos. I also am an appreciative listener to your delightful voice :-)

    You know, whoever says that you don’t have the most beautiful voice in the world is an idiot. Don’t listen to those people. They just feel ugly and they want to make other people feel ugly. Ignore them listen to me and the others who have left similar messages, you’re fabulous. Your voice is amazing!!!

  • @averyt9600
    @averyt9600 3 роки тому +1

    Your use of the melon-baller is brilliant! I think the barrier to a lot of niche crafts is the specialized tools that are allegedly required to do them. While “proper” tools can be really helpful and may be needed for super complex projects, it’s amazing what can be done with just a few household items!
    Also, that SILK! That color is just stunning, I’m going to miss it now that this series is done.

    Heartily agree with so many of the comments, your voice is perfect and lovely just as it is. There are so many of the same type of voices out there, it is wonderful to be different. Your voice stands out for it's warmth and yes your speech patterns it's like listening to a friend talk. Thank you for another great video.

    I would watch you make flowers all day long-can’t wait to watch the real-time video. And in my opinion, you have a lovely voice.
    But seriously, why do some people consider it acceptable to express a negative judgment on someone else’s voice? I’m sorry, didn’t realize the self-appointed voice police were issuing citations!

    Ooh! I may have to start another hobby! These turned out gorgeous. I was so thrilled during the last vid when you said you'd show how you made them! Ever since Bernadette's video on flowers I was like, there must be a way to do this without the irons... Melon baller! Brilliant!
    Your voice rocks! I can tell that you're considering your words. As others mentioned you're very eloquent! (Also I watch everything at 2x speed. Voices are less relevant that way lol. I find it easier to concentrate at faster speeds.)

    I like your voice very much. I find that even though you do speak quickly, the register, tone and timbre are beautiful and relaxing to listen to. It isvery natural sounding and pleasant. Oh, and the roses are dead GORGEOUS!

    You could use a set of stainless steel measuring spoons! Keep the teaspoon on the heat while you use the tablespoon and vice-versa. Some sets even come with 2 tsp, half tablespoon, and 2 tablespoon measures (aka a coffee scoop), so if those are useful in you cooking life, you'd have a nice big set of irons to work with.

    Oh wow !!! The jewel toned green roses are absolutely stunning. And yes, you have indeed opened the door to a dangerous game, here. I didn't even know I liked to make silk flowers until I watched this video. Now all I can think of is making silk flowers. I don't even sew but I do a lot of craft projects. I make jewelry boxes and I'm thinking of sticking some handmade flowers on them. Thank your for sharing your beautiful creation.

    I really enjoy your voice and music choices because I prefer to watch crafting/ sewing videos right before sleep. I finding it soothing/ relaxing but not monotone. Your enunciation is also fantastic so I can lower the volume but still understand you. Plus your creations are totally awesome.
