@Susan Roberts: Seeing tiny things is also very difficult for me, as well. 😱 I take progressive (sequential) camera 📸 screen shots in my phone (or laptop) to capture the steps I need to see up-close. I then spend a few minutes cropping the sequence of screen shots, adding notes in the screen shot photo, or on paper. (Note: when you crop the screen shots, you have progressive close-ups that zoom in and show wonderful details and make it easier to understand each step.) Once I have all of the screen shot closeups that are significant to me, I save them in a folder, and save a copy of the video in KZfaq. This gives me an advantage to review techniques used at a later time, and to add any further comments I may have about the construction techniques and design work in the file. This is a good reference tool that is free to make (with just a little initiative), and it will give you good details, along with any helpful changes that you may discover on your own. By doing some homework, and saving the notes you have made in a spiral-bound notebook, you have a technique manual made just for you, that you can refer to over and over again. My background in Editing, my skills as a Designer, and my passion for Heirloom Gemstone Jewelry gives me an advantage that I can use in the future. It also helps to save my sight which is precious! Intricate beadwork can take its toll on eyesight, and I encourage you to add better adjustable lighting, including lights to improve your field of vision,and reading glasses to empower your sight, while lowering frustration levels, to help you become a great success in your design efforts. I hope these tips are helpful to you. Wishing you all the best. ❤️

Yes, love it too! I have the same thought; hope she make the tuto, will be awesome! 😉

Copper wire..and healthy to wear and when it tarnishes you just mix 1/2 cup white vinegar and 1 tablespoon of salt, drop in your copper pieces and then rinse and dry....shiny and new again plus it cleans your beads too. You can store the mixture in a sealed container for further use too. Hope this helps.

@@DebyNieto-kq2ci Thanks for the tip of cleaning the copper wire. I will try it .

​@@ivyyeo3383 Your very welcome...Works amazingly. I mainly work with copper..if you want to know where to get those Accu loop pliers I got mine off of ebay..the cheapest price all around, even Amazon and with free shipping..love mine. Let me know..I will give you the item number to copy and paste.

I’m just starting out making rings. I also didn’t want to make jewelry that turns to junk in a little while. I was thinking to use gold plated. If this is true that I could clean the copper wire that would be great. I was trying to see what she used but couldn’t see it. Deby...would love to know the part number of the plyers. Thanks.

@@orysiaduda2340 Sorry for the late reply, been sick. Here is the item number to copy and paste on ebay's search bar for the acculoop pliers for 17.20 with free shipping, cheaper than anyone else..love mine item # 222781310352 And Yes on cleaning copper wire..get a container with a lid put in 1/2 cup white vinegar and 1 tablespoon salt, mix well and drop your copper pieces in and within seconds it looks like a new penny and sanitizes glass beads if you use them then just seal for use next time. Truthfully I have used the non tarnish and after awhile it is just a lie, that is why I stick with copper and eventually will add sterling silver..Hope this all helps. Also have a great guy on ebay I buy my copper wire from, great prices, lots of feet on the roll and free shipping. Let me know.

Go for it, girl! Sounds beautiful! If it works, let me know -- would love to see a picture!!!

I actually haven't tried doing it with three rows. Use your intuition, give it a go, and let us know how it goes!

Hi there, it really depends on what you mean by "career in jewelry-making". There are about 100 ways we could go with this question! Do you want to become a jewelry retailer? A jewelry designer and/or manufacturer? A jewelry crafter/maker? A bead retailer? I think the first step for you might be to set yourself up with some beginner jewelry-making supplies (if you haven't already) and start watching jewelry-making videos (we have a ton!!) and visiting your local bead shop/craft stores for some in-person workshops. Once you discover what you love about jewelry-making (i.e., the study of gems, the design, or the making, etc.), it will make your path more clear. GIA is a great resource for getting educated and you can contact them to learn more about the career paths their program sets you up for. In the meantime, we would love to help with your supplies needs :) www.jtv.com/jewelry-making/_/N-375228644/?mcid=XSOjsyt

@Magdalena Trías Rissi Hola Magdalena, en Colombia hay una compañía que vende todo tipo de materiales para elaborar bisutería, ellos envían pedidos a todo el Continente Americano también.

Hey there! We buy our beads from Jewel School at www.jtv.com/category/jewelry-making/beads/_/N-1547377695

Never does..shop ebay, free shipping , great prices.

@@DebyNieto-kq2ci When they did the rose ring with the bead inside they had the link to the bead and wire supplies. My other problem with this video was the zoom, I couldn't see how she made the loops and how she fastened the bead to the loop? Thanks for the tip about finding the supplies elsewhere.

@@tunisiarawles9507 Your very welcome. They don't hold the camera on the project long enough for people particularly for those who are beginning wire work. Ebay is the cheapest way to go. That is where I buy all of my copper wire and tools. The guy I buy from has amazing prices and free shipping.

@@DebyNieto-kq2ci something to consider checking out. It's always good to have reliable vendors who offers great prices.😊

@@tunisiarawles9507 He has great prices with lots of footage and the fast and free shipping is an added bonus. I also bought my accu looper there on ebay for the lowest price around..even beat Amazon..Great tool. I have the item number for that too if your interested.
