I hope you enjoyed this weeks video!

There is only one holiday...Halloween. Even as a kid, I loved it. I never liked Christmas or Easter or even my birthday...just Halloween, when I could be my true self. Now, it's Halloween every day!!!

For me, the wooden ring clamp and guitar pick are the game changers ! So glad I found this video! Thanks.

Awesome skills. I'm a Maori Pounamu (Greenstone/Jade) Carver from New Zealand. Wonderful alternative to finish some of my traditional Maori design pieces. Thank you for an amazing presentation. It's fantastic to see your expertise in real time. You are Masterful !!! Nga Mihi Nui (Thanks very much)

I thinks it’s awesome. I love it. I have some beautiful oval stones that are thick. That’s for the inspiration! I don’t celebrate any holidays anymore. I have to tell you it’s been 28 yrs and it’s so freeing. I give gifts through out the year when they least expect it! When I see something that reminds be of someone or I think, “know who would love this?” That’s when I pick up a gift. It’s more enjoyable for me. The gifts I give are more meaningful and people are genuinely surprised and grateful. The last year I celebrated a holiday there were many out there shopping and I overheard quite a few say to someone they were shopping with, I’m just going to get this if they don’t like it too bad. Or they’ll have to be happy with this because it’s all I can afford….. you get where I’m going with this. So that was it. I never celebrated after that. Since then I’ve looked into the origins of each holiday and not one of them are Christian based! Not even Christmas. I’m extremely happy and never stressed out about holidays anymore. Win win! 💝🥰🤗

Hi Melissa! Love this! Have lots of thick stones. Holidays? Every holiday in the spring/summer months😊 P.S. just realized I've been using my wooden ring holder WRONG! I've held the wires vertical in it, instead of horizontal. Wires wobbled too much...dang! 😮

I made it and it came out pretty good I think. You are a great teacher of wire wrapping stones, thanks so much😊👍

I wish I could afford sterling silver wire or knew where to get it at a reasonable price. It looks beautiful and I’m not a big fan of copper.

Did you change the title? I only noticed cause i saw the word chonky. Lol. My son and i always use that word for our overweight cat, plus i think it's an adorable descriptor! Either way, i love your designs! I've made quite a few 'with you'! 💜🤗

Love the guitar pic idea. I'm using one of my old small plastic key tag cards & it also works well.

Lovely pendant. I couldn't help but notice your left hand though. Would you mind if I tried to make it feel better?

Beautiful piece, so well done, elegant. Love it.

You explained each step of the way really well. Thank you for sharing your work.

Beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial. You taught it very well!

Many thanx. Beautiful as always.

Really like this wiring technique, thanks for sharing will give this one a try!😊

Simply beautiful, thank you Melissa x❤ I love Christmas with my family xx

Look beautiful!

I have a lot of thick stones and this design will really show them off! You're amazing - your pliers seen to be an extension of the hand wielding them 😊

Beautiful!
