    Jim, you are a true artist. You don't do it to show off, you want to enlighten other people of the beauty everwhere around them as well as within.

    Hey Jim, I Absolutely Love this. I also like the bail a lot. Now I'm gonna explain how I watch your video's, first I just watch them and when I'm ready to make the pendant, ect., I get everything ready and watch again while I make the pendant ect., I don't want to miss what your teaching so that's how I do it. I'm still playing catch up on your video's that I haven't seen yet. I have my Wrapping pliers. Lol Thank's so very much for sharing with us, your a great teacher. 😊😊 Oh and I don't know who gave the 1 thumbs down but apparently you have a closed mind.

    Today is August 8, 2023...made this project and LOVE your approach. I will be incorporating most of what I learn in your vids into all my. future wrapping, although the pliers seem to have vanished on Amazon! But...I don't NEED them! Thank you so much.

    I have had trouble making the back of my wire wrap pendants look good. You have shown me a whole new technique to try. Thanks so much. I will continue to watch your new and past videos. You are very thorough and easy to understand, plus all of your motions are within frame. That is truly appreciated.
