I love the added beads on the outside. I live in Santa Fe, NM in the US and have made a tree of life before but never thought of the beads around the outside. I think it makes it look so put together and sophisticated. Now Im making one for every one for Christmas. It would be super helpful just in parenthesis to put the inches and gauge for the US folk. I appreciate your channel so much!!
Katie, this is a wonderful piece .... your instruction is so clear and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing; it's very much appreciated. Be well!
I love this tutorial! You explain your thought process as you are creating and bring to light the important parts to making a tree of life look like a tree of life. 😍 the position of the trunk, dividing the roots in pairs and the branches in fours… etc. each tree is unique but they also have pattern of sorts. Beautifully explained. Thank you for bringing joy to my wire wrapping endeavors!🥰
Thank you so much for watching. I’m pleased you enjoyed it xx
can't believe i was going through amazon for tree of life pendants when i can make my own! Thank you so much!
Thank you! I am going to make one to be auctioned at a family reunion. I love the beaded border.

I have made these trees for years but never used this technique of wrapping beads around the outside. I also love the bail and decorative coils used. I will be making some shortly after going to storage to find my bead chips!!! Thank you ever so much for sharing this.

Well done lovely lady 🥰 for making an easy to follow video and sharing with us how to create something so beautiful! What took you 42mins took me a whole day but Wow.. I'm looking at it wondering how I even did it.. Thankyou so much xxx
Thank you 😊 I’m so pleased you found the tutorial helpful 😁

❣️👍🏼😍
I love this pendant. You make it look so easy. I’m in the Us, can you give me the size of the wire in gauges?
Thank you :) Yes I can, approximately sizes 16, 19 and 26 in US gauges. If you do a search for wire gauge conversion you will find lists to help you too :)
So beautiful! How long did this peice take you to complete start to finish?
I have a hard time making trees. I went from seed beads with too much visible wire to loading chips on every branch and not being able to see the branches. Looking for a happy medium. This looks really good
love this but l am in USA and it took me forever to work out what gauge wire it is here
Hi, if you search for Wire Gauge Conversion Chart next time on your search engine it will be easier for you. As I'm the UK I tend to use UK terms :)
@@katieparkerjewellery7277 my sister who lives in the uk normally tells me LOL but it was late so l knew she was in bed
Organic art by the Lea, can you give me the conversion for the wire. I did look up the conversion chart but I couldn’t make that out. 😥
Hi your pendant is lovely would love to make one .could I please ask where do you get your crystals to put on it many thanks ,great videos cheers Chris
Thank you 😊 most of the gemstone I use are bought from JewelleryMakerUK
Please could you let me know where you got the bare copper beads from. Thanks, Clare
Hi, thanks for watching, these copper beads are from Palmers Metals UK
The banging whilst you were talking was a bit distracting 😕
This is a beautiful pendant, very rich and textured. But there was a lot of wire wasted. It would help if you had measured the wasted cut offs and then subtracted from the original length to get accurate measures for the next pendant. You cannot measure exactly since it is a variable twist piece of art, but get a closer approximation. This would have been helpful.
Also, i feel the second frame is unnecessary and overkill. Why not use the gem wire ends to wrap beads with? Each leftover trailing thin wire bit could have wound 3 beads or more around the first frame Much better use of materials.
The swirls could have been made with the bail wire ends on either side with no waste either.
