After stirring verathan with chopstick, you should stick end of chopstick into foam block so you can stand it up & use all that excess verathan by wiping it off with your brush (then using it on your bead) instead of wiping it off with paper towel. Just use a 2nd chopstick to hold the bead while coating it. May save bunches of verathane! Thanks so much for the excellent tutorial.. those beads are simply GORGEOUS!!!

I did not know you were sick. I’m so sorry. Glad both you and your daughter are doing much better. Love the beads!

These are so stinking cute!!!!

Hope you and your family are doing well Love your videos . You are so talented. Be safe and God Bless.

They are indeed beautiful. Kind of remind me of crescent rolls as you wind them up. I love the idea of making your own beads.....it makes matching pendants, earrings, brooches so much easier. Again, a great tutorial. Thankyou!

Prayers and loving thoughts to you and your family, glad to hear you are both doing well now, many thanks for the amazing video xx

Thank you for another amazing video! I've learned so much from you over the past several years and I greatly appreciate you. Prayers for you and your daughter's complete recovery 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you so much for this great video! We recently downsized to a smaller house (empty nesters) but I do have a great studio area, it’s just not set up yet. First project will be these beads! They are so beautiful! Thank you again for teaching how to make these lovely beads!

Amazing! They look so great. Thank you for your share :)

OMG 😱 Allison, I had no idea that you and your daughter were sick, had I known I would have included you in my prayers. I literally stop have any inspiration when your videos stop. You are one talented lady and I really love your art. Thank God you and your daughter are back with living. Much love from Montana ♥️

I've watched several of your videos, but this is my first time leaving a comment. You've gotten a lot better about being concise and editing out unnecessary content, which I appreciate. I love learning new approaches and different ways to craft, but like most folks my time is limited and I need to use video length as one of my criteria in deciding which videos to watch. This improvement you've made enables me to learn from you more often, so thank you. :) I hope you and your daughter are both recovering well and fully. I'm a mom with 3 daughters, and the 3 of us who live in the same county had the virus earlier this year at the same time, so I very much sympathize.

notashroom I personally love Alison’s videos. she’s always been very concise. An awful lot of her techniques require an in-depth explanation and sometimes that takes time. She has to balance video length with being thorough. I appreciate that you may be too busy for long videos but there is one of her and many of us and she doesn’t have time to answer each and every one of us individually if she leaves something out that we need to know. It’s not like she sits around telling stories, she shares details about her projects. I personally appreciate quality over quantity and would rather watch and learn from a great longer video than a short so so average video showing me one more way to do something everyone else has already done. As far as what was wrong with them, another rude individual chose to ignore the fact that they had all of the symptoms of covid and went to work sick as a dog, infecting her daughter who got it and took it home to mom. They both suffered terribly. They both recovered. In the mean time all of us were pretty worried about them.
