I love this suncatcher ❤. It's gorgeous. Can you make a letter D with that wire and how? Please let me know ❤
@OctopusDobyCRoss3 ай бұрын
Thanks! Yes, you can make letters. My suggestion is to draw your letter on paper then use that as a guide to bend your wire. Good luck!

I’m impressed. I love that you’re explaining the size of rings used & how to pick them. Most people won’t share that information. Thank you! I’m looking forward to hearing more from you on chain maille! P.S. Love your cat. Me me does the same thing. Has to be in a n whatever I’m doing & make sure I’m noticing him. LOL

You describe things very explicitly, and in such a way that will help me avoid beginner mistakes. I have never worked with wire before, but this video makes me feel that it would be achievable. I can't wait to get started❤

Weaving terms: the woven areas before and after the beading = header. The side edges running the length of the weaving = selvages.

I have a 1 meter strand of pearls that doesn't have knots between the pearls. I want to restring the pearls, bur where do you get that large spool of silk? It can't be regular silk sewing thread.

Excellent video talking about the Harbor Freight caliper which only costs $10 and is very accurate. BUT to get the ID if the jump ring you really need to disassemble one link, close up the jump ring, and then measure the ID. I think then you would find the aspect ratios between the two chains much closer.
