@@ImbaliCrafts I have ideas too, but I don’t know how to execute them. I am thinking maybe I should try a new tutorial without actually following it, instead trying to recreate it just to see if I can and then I can look at the tutorial as a guide to what I miss or how I can improve. It’s a big step for sure!
This is a great tutorial. Love it.

You have become my main inspiration lately. I am new to wire wrapping and usually lean towards simple, minimalistic designs because I’m not ready for your more advanced tutorials yet; I’ve tried a couple now and have broken both half way through because I nitpick my less-than-perfect pieces to death as I can’t help but want anything I make to look flawless. This design is my favorite of yours that I’ve seen yet. Thank you for sharing and all the knowledge you’ve given me.

I fully get you with the nit-picking thing. I am exactly the same but I think it is a good thing because it means your pieces will be created with an eye for detail. When you start out trying to work neat, it may take longer but in the long run it really pays off in my opinion. Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it!
Girlllll! That pendant is gorgeous! Take ten of those to the boardwalk and sell them all! Pronto! Your generosity is making me feel cheap. I'll work harder to pay it forward.

Yes! Thank you! I am not sure what you mean when you say the 'ball shape' you meant the beads? The shape itself is made by hand, then when you place the stone in the prongs it becomes rounded :)

Thank you so much for another great tutorial! May I ask if you are using round wire for your rays? Do you think half-round wire would work for this design, for the rays? Thank-you 😊
@ImbaliCrafts
2 жыл бұрын
Yes, I have used round wires. I haven't used half-round for the rays yet, but I think it would look great! It would be a little more fiddly but it would definitely work.
Hi I love this piece....stunning.....I was wondering would a resin cabochon work with this and will the resin be ok in liver of sulfer? thanks for any help

As far as I know it should be okay. I haven't put a resin cab in LOS but I know of people that have and it seems fine.

Hi there, there could be various reasons. The prongs could be too short, or the frame is a little too big. I can't tell for sure unless I see the piece. If you want, you can post it in our artist community on Facebook. Then I can give you better advice. The link is under any video of mine in the description.
Lovely pendant but it was difficult for me to follow the weaving when you kept going off screen at critical moments. Love your designs
@ImbaliCrafts
2 жыл бұрын
Hi there, sorry you are having trouble with the video. I try to stay in shot always, but sometimes it's hard to see where the camera is when I am weaving and occasionally go off screen. Maybe if you have a look at the little inset, when I do the weave you can see how I have done the pattern.
How did you get the color change?
@ImbaliCrafts
2 жыл бұрын
I used LOS (liver of sulphur) you can buy it on ebay. You dip your pendant in a mixture of water and LOS, which causes a chemical reaction darkening the wire. You need to neutralize the LOS with bicarbonate of soda, then you can polish your piece to remove any surface oxidization. Hope this explains it a bit. There are many videos on how to use LOS on youtube. Nicole Hannah has a good one!
