I am so glad you like them! Its always fun to come back to a craft we haven't played with in a while!
Yvonne, I have to tell you that YOU are the reason I started following my dream of making all types of jewelry! I am just now starting to learn Chainmaille. Thank you!
Gorgeous i would set a small amber bead through the center to turn into a flower. Beautiful definitely going to give it a try I'm a total novice but I love the intricate work. Well done it's beautiful
I love that you teach these classes. They are so helpful. You explain it so well! I am glad to be back on your channel.
I’m going to try this as a bracelet. At 53:37 one of the stray cats jumped on the sill outside my window and then you baby meowed. I thought I was losing my mind because I’m wearing noise canceling headphones. It was funny. I had to share.
I am new to chainmail, it’s been about 2 weeks. I am also new to weaving, I started about a month ago. I am absolutely in love with this craft, and I cannot thank you enough for your detailed tutorials, tons of extra tips, other resources you recommend and just your enthusiasm to teach! You are so knowledgeable and we are very lucky to have your help! Thanks! I’ll be watching all of your videos and recommending them to anyone I know who is interested in this art. I do plan on making this over the weekend. I’ll share the results with you
i do love your tutorials, you are always so thorough with explanations and other methods. thankyou.. X
Thank you Yvonne!! I can't wait to try this!!
I just lucked up on your videos and I love love love them. I love the way you explain those little things. I have never heard of chainmaille until now, but love it. Thank you for sharing your experience.
You always make such 1st class items!💝🙏💝
I love the earring/pendant option with the beads. I will be trying this out. Thank you for the patient recording of this.
You are a very good teacher. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I am a newbie to all of this and your step-by-step instruction is so helpful!, along with all your fantastic tips!! I am so thankful for your gentle teaching approach. Have a fantastic week !!! I will be binge watching all your videos 👍😁🤗
I definitely appreciate you teaching as newbies are watching because I'm a complete newbie and you make it possible for me to learn from so many for your videos. Thank you 😊
Hey Von 😊I enjoy watching your video. You and Randy have a blessed day and thanks for sharing .😊
OLD LEATHER SMITH here. Thank you, very interesting. I am in the process of doing the same thing except using SPLIT Rings 4 a clients biker wallet. Thanks again. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Yvonne, you inspired me a couple of years ago to the point I was making my own jump rings. Gave that up because you mentioned Lord of the Rings. But I find it so difficult to make a pattern. It made me sad. But I'm back and going to see if I can do this. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
The bead cover looked so cool with all the bead options.
Thank you so much for doing this master class. I love all of your videos. I will send some pics of what I made later.😄
Hi Yvonne, I received my very first jump ring order from Chainmail Joe and really feel confident to start doing some examples of your lessons. I am so excited.
Have an appt at 2: that day. I'll have to watch the rerun.

Have fun at your appointment!
I love that you give alot of info and yes you are very helpful. Thanks you are awesome!
Thank you for the very informative information! Your videos have been great!
I want THAT chart for chainmail types!🤩
Cool! Great job! Juan from Brazil!
Great tutorial, thank you!
Loved the tutorial. I’m definitely going to do this!
I like the end results with your helm stitch. However, if I had never seen other videos of this stitch, I would have never tried it after watching how you made the pendant & the earring. That was very confusing for me & looked much more difficult than the 3rd method you demonstrated. Thank you for the tips on buying jump rings. That was very helpful.
Thanks again...nice job
The Orbital pendant is awesome (Helm Flower) I keep coming Back and watching this video and I said a few months ago I didn't like Chain maille LOL
Thanks
Really interested in tthis type of jewelry.
You have a great day I'm at work watch later
Love love the tutorial, thank you so much. Can I please ask what size is the clasp you are using? X
When I do this one, I do a 2-2-2 chain with the smaller rings in the middle then I put another set of small rings on the end, then going back to the first small set, I thread the orbital in between the large rings and around the small rings. Hopefully that makes sense
You are a great instructor Yvonne, what is tumbling for cleaning?
I love watching your videos. How can I get one of those jump ring kits. Thank you and keep those videos coming
Yvonne, I really like chainmaille but have some arthritis in my hands. I’m older than your typical viewer (not quite Cryptkeeper, lol). Can you rank the different ring materials so I can know what materials to try next? FYI, hello from Tampa.
For the past week, I have been trying and doing ok. But I have slipped off the rings with the small pliers I have. I will be investing in larger head pliers to improve the grip on the jump rings.

I watched a video a few years back of how you Yvonne molded the grip on your bent nose pliers and I will most likely do a similar application. I have wrist issues. So your sharing of many videos has been very helpful, thank you.
Do you have to polish those rings?
Hi hope your well???
I'll have to try that. Weaving

How much do you charge for those earrings?
❤ boa tarde, por favor qual tipo de arrame poço usar para as bijuterias não ficar manchada. Por favor coloque tradução em português, até no nome do arrames. Muito obrigado

If someone's not willing to listen in the learning process they should stop learning.
