For someone who's had limited wire work experience - me , you are a fantastic teacher. It's been several years since I've done any wire work but you've given me the confidence to start again. Thank you. And God bless.
You are so welcome! Best of luck with your wire wrapping!
Finally an artist who is slow and very meticulous! Thank you!
You are very welcome! So glad you liked it!
Oxana: Your wire wrapping tutorial videos are by far, the best on UA-cam! I've been watching you for a few years now and while I began as someone with ZERO wire wrapping experience, I now feel able to confidently follow, and complete most of your demonstrated projects. Friends beg me for one of your pendants! I am still not perfect at wrapping (your wraps are perfection!) half round but I will not stop trying! Thank you for being the best teacher I've found on UA-cam; what a gift you've given me and I am sure, many others.
Thank you so much for your kind words! So glad my tutorials have helped you and inspired you.
I’m just gonna call you the ‘Wire whisperer’. Beautiful. Blessings.
Thank you!
I'm going to use some copper beads too! ❤️❤️❤️
I love adding copper beads, always such a nice touch!
You make this look soooo easy. Maybe even I could do this. Thank you for sharing, Also, I love your calm voice.
Thank you! 😊
Oxana, I must say your creative thoughts and talents are totally wonderful! I personally Thank You for sharing these beautiful idea’s, videos, plus many hours of your personal time for us to enjoy!!! Thanks a MILLION ! ! ! Blessings be with you in return…. You are a 🌟 in my eyes!
Thank you so much!
You’re a fabulous teacher and your work is so neat and beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Oh my! This is so beautiful. I really love the carved stone effect. Wow!
Thank you so much!
This is such a great and versatile design! I always get inspired by your tutorials and appreciate the extra tips you provide, like the one you shared in this tutorial about how to finish off the back 2 wires at the neck of the bail. ❤
Thank you so much!
Your timing is devine..I was JUST today wondering weather to look on UA-cam or IG for a tut in this style and then the notification popped up 😄
Perfect!
You are an amazing teacher! Thank you for doing this for us!
You are so welcome!

Just got new stone today. I think this would work beautifully with it. Thank you for you're teach technique.
You are so welcome!
FANTASTIc video, as alwys!
Thank you!
@@OxanaCrafts You are very welcome. Think I will experiment with dead soft wire. You really seem to have a hand for it. All I have ever used is half hard and I love how my pieces turn out, but I have an idea they would be easier to wrap. Thanks for the great videos!
Le quedó muy bonito me lo voy hacer gracias por compartir
Beautiful! Can’t wait to try one. Thank you for your fantastic tutorials. They’re the best!
Love your tutorials. Explained so well. Will definitely try this one😀. Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for always sharing your talents!
You are so welcome!
Los Felicito Están Muy bien
Will be making this.
You are a fantastic teacher. I want to make tennis racket pendants as gifts for my tennis friends. The shape of this pendant is very similar to the shape I want. Thanks for all your sharing. I want to add a round yellow bead in the center of the racket strings. Any videos I should watch for this. It’s a large round seed bead. Thanks
I have never attempted anything like that, I did a quick search but did not find any tennis racket pendant tutorials for you.
My new favorite! 😍💜💯
Thank you!
excellent - thank you
You are so welcome!
Beautiful Oxana!!. I have two Ruby cabs the same size as yours and was wondering if they would be too large to use as earrings. Basically using the this particular method you used but modified so that they are smaller. Or am I making a big mistake and just go ahead and make them into pendants the way you did?. Thank you Oxana 🙏🏼💗🍀
You could make 2 pendants and attach earring hooks to them so they'd be earrings. Depending on the weight of the rubys they might be a bit heavy. But some people prefer bigger earrings, so it is really up to you.
Love it!
Thank you!
Bellissimo! 😍
Do you have any tutorials using large drilled beads? I have some beautiful lapis flower beads drilled top to bottom. Would love to see some ideas!
are they top drilled, front to back? ua-cam.com/video/ZKz0UQ5uhPM/v-deo.html
@@OxanaCrafts No, they are drilled vertically, top to bottom
Bellissimo!!
Love this project! One question though, you mentioned using a teardrop stone that we should put the point down... Why?
I believe point up would prevent you from being able to complete this design (the swirls on top) because the stone would cover the "window" you'd need to put the wire through...I guess possible but VERY tricky.
yep that's exactly why :)
Where do you get your beautiful stones that you se in your videos? This cabochon is gorgeous.
thank you, Etsy and ebay
I just watched my first wrapping video of yours. Nicely done and calming to listen to. One question, do you ever use nylon coated pliers? Just subbed and looking forward to watching many more. Thank you.
Thank you! I don't because I like very fine tipped pliers so I can get into tiny spaces and nylon pliers tend to be bulky.
If you were using a cab 2x the diameter of this one, would you use more strands of wire or a bigger gauge?
I'd size up to 19 gauge square for the base wires
@@OxanaCrafts Awesome, thank you for the fast response!
Hi, Oxana. I just attempted this design and have a question. How in the world did you keep the square wires aligned correctly? Also, how did you do this when wrapping the bale?
Before I use the square wires I straighten them by running them through a thick cloth. This way they are not twisted. Since the sides are flat they stack together nicely, I find them much easier than round wires. For the bale I separated out the two bale wires wires first and then I wrapped the half round around them by twisting the pendant and I guided the half round wire around.
May this design be done with round wire? If not could you pound the wire flat?
yes you can do it with round wire. If you do that then for the thin wire I'd use 28 gauge and do a weaving pattern instead of wrapping around and around, so it does not unravel
@@OxanaCrafts thank you for your quick response. I really enjoy your teachings. I do not use stones but I use cabochons dipped the back into my paint dripping designs.
In your materials list, you say it's 20 gauge. Then in your video, you say you're using 21 gauge. Which one is it?
sorry, typo, in video I am using 21. But you can definitely use 20, especially if your stone is larger than mine I'd recommend going up to 20.
