Absolutly AWESOME. I sincerely want to learn this. Thank you for being you.
We are so glad you like it!
Great video -- and you are a most adorable young woman! AND a fantastic artist ! Keep it up!!
I thoroughly enjoy spending time with you. Your personality is as striking as your work. I feel as though I just learned something really cool from a life-long friend. Great job young lady.
You are an amazing teacher. Watching you work and create is totally engrossing.
Thanks for sharing this. I learned so much here. I have never tried wrapping wire before but I gave it a go. The first shell was rough because I really had the wrong gauge wire for wrapping the 20 gauge but it sorta turned out to look like a cool ornament to use on a macrame wall hanging I just finished.
The second time I tried this was sooo much easier because I bought the 28 gauge wrapping wire and low and behold I have something very like the lovely wire pattern you taught here.
I just really appreciate the time and effort you put into shooting this video and for your expertise ❤❤❤❤
Wow! Brilliant! I never even thought about shell wraps, you have great skills and beautiful creativity 🎉 Merry Christmas 2024 from Florida 🌴🌺🌞
Thank you so much! I really love how it turned out. I haven't wrapped shells in a while, and your comment has inspired me to give it another go! Thank you!
That is just beautiful. You're a great instructor.Your work is so neat and precise.
Beautiful work! Just seen your channel for the first time and have subscribed. Thank you for sharing, it seems too difficult for me to do but I will keep watching your videos, you're a great teacher. Greetings from Spain💕
I enjoy seeing every step. I wouldn’t change your videos. Seeing how you change and problem solves helps a great deal for a beginner and they are the best. Be you Von! 😁
i agree =) and her happiness is contagious! i enjoy every minute of her videos and find her very charming.
I am so glad my videos are helpful to you, Fae!
Beautiful. I love shells. More shell wrapping and pebbles, sea glass, thank yp
I so enjoy your work. I’m recently retired and hav lots of shells living here on Cape Cod so I will be attempting some of these wiring projects . Thank you for sharing your talents
Lol I made these a while before your tutorial !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I balanced mine out and turned them into pendulums !!!!
It’s so kind of you to share your talent, thank you.
Thank you for sharing your work. It’s very informative and inspirational. I like that you share your train of thought as you continue to work with your project.
I'm so glad to be helpful to you!
This is beautiful, thank you. I believe the name of this shell is " Turritella screw shell". Thank you for your videos.
This is gorgeous! I have some fossilized shells like this one that were my dads. He passed away a year ago and I’ve been wanting to do something special with them for me and my sister. Thank you so much for helping me decide what I’m doing🤗
I love watching you wire! Very pretty 😍!
God Bless 😃
love to see and hear your comments and how you improvise love to learn thank you
So beautiful, love how you so kindly give your tips. We have those shells in NZ
Very interesting wire work. I'll have give it a try.
Thank you!
Outstanding! I've collected a bunch of fresh water snail shells and was looking for a video like this one. You are a pleasure to listen too...relaxing!
Shells!! Who knew Florida had such great beach treasures! Thanks for the tutorial. I'm new to wire wrapping and love your enthusiasm and energy for your craft. You've given me courage to give it a go and as you've said; progress not perfection!
wow just perfect i found 2 of spiral shells today and came here looking for a simple technique for a pendant and this his just so lovely thank you for sharing! My sisters are just going to love your design!
Es la primera vez en tu canal 🌺🌹tus vídeos me encantan me suscribo y comparto para que más personas los vean.A mi hija le encanta la bisutería también hace cosas hermosas como tú ❣️🌺🌹 saludos desde España
Awesome girlfriend! I'm watching this for the third time because I am a beginner. You have a pleasant voice and you're patient and show every step and I appreciate you!
Yvonne, thank you for all you’ve shown us, all you’ve said about what we could possibly be working on, and all your encouragement. With me….(a beginner) I just love to practice the weaving (that I am NOT good at) and actually just listen to you while you’re creating something. It actually relaxes me (unless I’m frustrated) except I have to put up with the extreme pain in my hands because of arthritis. I have joined a few channels, however……YOURS is the best and I just sit here and watch what in the heck you’re doing! Thank you so much.
So happy to have found this tutorial Yvonne.. I have shorter versions of these shells in my Thailand stash💃🏽💃🏽🙏🏽
Wonderful idea to put a swirl in the shell for stability.
Such a positive video. I agree with you. I think it’s just PERFECT! Tfs
Now, you have increased my crafting to include shells.
I love this little shell and how you turned it into a beautiful work of art with like a hundred yards of wire, lol. You are one of my favorites and so inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing your talent.
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed watching your tutorial. You have a very easy manner, which is easy to listen to as well. Please keep adding more! Very nice.
Beautiful design! I have scads of these shells I used for a class many years ago. Im finally retired & i will definitely be trying this on some of them! Thanks as always for getting the creative flow going!!!!
I call them unicorn shells. I have a couple of cut ones. Thank you for your inspiration, I'm going to take a try at this. I don't have too much of a wire supply, so I need to stock up and get wrapping! Thank you.
I love love love love the wire wrapped shell. its just magical
Thank you for sharing your beautiful works I have learned so much thank you
Very informative and easy to understand. You also have a very bubbly, friendly attitude that comes through in the way you talk, it's not boring to watch an hour of this. Beautiful pendant btw :)
Beautiful work Von!!!
Hi , I have watched you for sometime now and love your wire weaving skills ! I have a tip for you !! When wire weaving and trying to get that tiny wire threw your base wires , use a straight pin between the shell and base wire. it works for me.
Great idea!!!
I subscribed because I love the fact that you make mistakes and fix them so easy. It makes me feel better, as I make many mistakes and needed to see how to fix without being frustrated. Thank you very much. I'm going to buy one of these shells today.
i love the end results, i need to make time to see more of your videos..
Right on, Brenda! I hope you find them helpful!
Thank you for this tutorial 😊 I had to modify the design but I loved the way it turned out with the wire wrapped/weaving design. I wish I could post a picture. I’m proud of my first try. 👍😉
I just love your work. Just beautiful ❤️
You are doing such a great job! Learning a ton and you are definitely part of this journey for me...thank you!

I just keep going back to your video’s, they are so relaxing, like I’m with a really good friend and I learn so much. I love what you did with that shell! ❤️ It’s beautiful!
Love your attitude towards the wire and any changes you make. You make me realize I need to relax and "go with the flow". Sometimes I try too hard & lost the joy of creating. I need to accept my project may not be perfect but the results will fill me with satisfaction,! Thank you
What a lovely piece of jewelry!
Thank you for finally wrapping the things I have to wrap and could not get past one bad idea to think of doing. I am still a beginner and love your videos. Keep on bringing it,Yvonne!

Very nice, coil coil coil. Airhugs of positive loving energy to you and yours
I love what you doing. I love shells and my mom always used to make jewelry and my daughter is making family trees and of course we do make dream catchers. The other funny thing is that your name is kind of like mine my mom‘s and my youngest daughters name my youngest daughters name is Yovon 👩🏽🦱 and mine my mom’s name is Vonnie so that’s awesome
That turned out beautiful! You are very talented!
I love this i have been trying to figure a good way to wrap these. Thank you
WOW simply love the result and enjoyed every moment of the video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Yay!! :-)
Love it! I love the handy tips on splicing wire and something else but I forgot, the video is long.
Fantastic!! I follow quite a few artists & their tutorials...I enjoy yours the most!! ❤️
You always explain so well!!! Thank you for all you both do!
I like how your videos are put together! Your creations are so beautiful.
so nice..great video...ty Miss Williams
Yvonne, I love this project ! It's so beautiful. I'm new at wrapping shells and you inspire me to keep going. I'll keep watching your videos for others things to do also. Thanks for sharing your talent. Happy wrapping!! :)
Definitely a lot of coiling, but it turned out beautiful. You did a great job in showing how you did the wrapping and the stabilizing. Enjoyed your video, will be watching more in the future. I live in Galveston Texas, our own little island, with lots of shells to be had here. Will definitely try wire wrapping some of my many shells, maybe without so much coiling. lol But you never know ! Thanks for the tutorial !
Merry Christmas Von and Randy, Hope to see you live soon. Miss you guys
Merry Christmas, to you too! I'll be live streaming again on Thursday and look forward to catching up with everyone :-D
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have been trying to figure out how to use the same type of shell (auger) but my creations are just not working out. I think I now know how to make them look spectacular.
I'm soooo glad you cut off that second spiral. I didn't like it at all. As a matter of fact I was actually sitting here speaking to my tablet begging you to just get rid of it lol 💕
Just Beautiful!!!!
You are awesome. Thank you for ALL your amazing videos!!!!!
That turned into a moon goddess. Blessed be!!
Thanks for all your great videos, you're a great artist!! Ny the way, it's a Turritella shell !
Awesome love the shell I'll have to make one you did a awesome job
Creative work! And the way you explained it was soo gentle n lovely 😊 I m gonna try to make it..
Thanks. Looks like fun.
Really nice!! Your "coiling technique" tickled me!! I found myself thinking of myself, when I am doing tedious wrapping, humming a silly tune, trying to make it go faster!! 😂 Lol!! Hope you had a great holiday, and hope you have a great New Year, also!! Keep bringing those awesome new tutorials!!
Very, very pretty! I Love all things from the ocean. 💗🌊
It is absolutely gorgious. and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours.
This is amazing and an excellent tutorial!!!
Wow! Thank you so much, Paula!
@Yvonne Williams so I've been visiting your past videos MY how you have evolved! So I've made a few of these how do I price something like this? I really struggle with pricing. I would LOVE it if you educated us on how to price our pieces. HOPE YOUR DAY IS AWESOME!!! See ya Friday!
This is absolutely beautiful !
You are the best,love you beautiful work and you love for craft. Wish you all the best in New Year 2019 !
I love all your work! I really want to make one of these! But I don't know how to find a shell like yours.
Just love this , Ty💜
