+Maureen Cummin Thank you, that is a very nice ompliment!

Happy to hear that!

Thanks!

+Marissa Marcolin I bet that is beautiful🌹♥️

I did the same 😊

Jet as in black? Or is that a type of Crystal? Because any brand or type should be pretty.

You are welcome, it will make a great gift!

+LadyDarkShade Wow, a garland, good idea, a lot of work though, did you make it for a little tree? Because it would have to be so long for a big one🤗 tons of Crystal!

No it was for a 6ft tree It was 32ft by the time it was where I wanted it to be it glitters nicely but with crystals I'm sure it will be the statement of the tree:) I've already started ordering crystal for this year's rendition I need to adjust the length and add more silver than last year. It was purple with accent silver. I also thought of changing the number amounts for the base to make the triangles and snowflakes I made with beads larger so maybe two kinds of garland this year:)

+LadyDarkShade sounds gorgeous, but holy cow! That's a lot of Work! I envy people who take on big time consuming projects like that, I just don't have the patience. Good luck, I d love to see a picture when you are done.

+LadyDarkShade it sounds beautiful, but like a ton of work!

I've completed the earrings, gotta wait to make the bracelet since I don't have enough bicones. They are adorable, Thank you Gina love your tutorials

+Foxiepaws ACAnderson Hello, I think recycling old jewelry clasps and beads is a great idea. You know some of the old fashion jewelry pieces are worth quite a bit of money to collectors. But, I like you, would rather collect broken pieces and make something new with them. You arrangement with the thrift store is a good one. I hope you do try a few of my designs, I would love to see what you come up with.

Hi! I have found old school pearl clasps here in finland, at a webshop called "Villihelmi" (wild pearl) so they are out there somewhere! If you want to, I can contact the seller and ask the brand or where she gets them? So you maybe could find them online too! Otherwise it is possible to order to UK from her website!

You are welcome💗

You are very welcome 💕

+Gloria Ramirez Gracias,

+Chris Phillips hi Chris, I don't mind your questionnaires, I know I read it, did I reply yet. Gosh, I am getting goofy in my old age, can't remember things I did 5 minutes ago. There are just a lot of comments to reply to. I save yours for last because I want to be able to spen time to reply. The kitty lives with Garett, her name is Dixie. I was out visiting him last weekend, it was his birthday. She is adorable and he just loves her! So, she doesn't live with me. Though I spent several days playing with her, no scratches. I stabbed my hand using scissors inappropriately. I was opening a box, at work. Ugh, I am clumsy! Well it's getting late, hope you ordered your crystals. I a better go to sleep, the alarm rings awfully early.

It sounds like you grew up with out the benefit of being read a book called "Carlie Cheesecake". It was written in the early thirties (I think) and it was a book designed to draw attention to the world around us (young children) about everyday adventures and what happens when you don't listen to adult words and warnings. The book was a black and red illustrated cartoon type of simple drawings and told what happens when Charlie decides to do his own thing. To illustrate this here is one of his adventures. It starts out (on the left-hand side of the page with Charlie playing with a pencil, now he was always told to draw with it but as he always thought better he put the pencil in his mouth and started to walk around the room. On the right-hand page was a flap which you un folded and you saw the result of what happened when he approached the closed door........ That's right the door opened and the pencil went back into his mouth! Not a pretty sight!!!! The caption beneath the picture read........."OH No, poor Charlie Cheesecake" and with my Grandmother's added dramatisation about what had happened and the terrible predicament of Charlie made one think long and hard to not put pencils in one's mouth and walk and around the room. There were many more things that he did. It was the old fashion reinforcing of adults do's and don'ts by scaring you into doing as you were told. Today it would be banned as being psychological damaging for our tiny cotton wool wrapped tots. We were always reminded if we didn't listen we would and could end up like Charlie........so we listened and obeyed!. It is a case of showing tough love to keep one safe. Still, today that simple and graphic form of learning makes me stop and think......Safety first and I didn't suffer from any psychological problems from reading the Adventures of Charlie as it made me wiser and it's the way in which I taught my children. So next time that we play with scissors use them wisely or you too could end up like "Poor Charlie Cheesecake" with more than a tiny scratch, you could end up with a very big bandage around your stitched hand! Love the Grand Fur Baby's name.........she sounds adorable and that's the great thing about having Grand Babies they are little visitors that come for short visits and then it's nice to be able to hand them back at the end of your visit. Looking forward to your next video.........as always it will be breath-taking-ly out of this world gorgeous............

+Chris Phillips Yes, I definitely missed out on the Charlie Cheescake lesions, that's why I AM psychologically damaged😩 Ha! The proof is that I got a larger order in today at work, and how did I open the boxes? Why, with scissors of course. But I did okay, no cut, bandages or pencils sticking out of my head!😜

I am trying to track down a copy on eBay and if I do, I will let you know so that I can send you a copy and after reading it, it will scare you into using a Saftey knife to open your boxes with and maybe use some of the lessons learnt to keep yourself safe my little-not-psychologically-wonderful-out-of-this-world-bit of-Fabulous!!!! As my Grandmother said........."Stop and think, slow and steady and carefully do it otherwise I will become a Charlie Cheesecake silly" Take care my lovely......................XXOO

Thanks, Mia!🌺

Thank you, I do believe in easy and pretty designs!

i like easy n pretty design thank u

You are very welcome!🌼

Gracias💗

You are welcome, God bless you also.

You are very welcome

Thanks!😀

Utilizo Fireline, puedes usar nylon pero no sé el diámetro. Utilice un hilo que quepa en su aguja y pasará a través de las perlas fácilmente. La mayoría de cualquier hilo de reborde funcionará.

Hello Shannon, I am happy to know I am one of your favorites, thats always nice to know. 😀I am not sure about doing another project with JP, I wouldn't mind of course, it's just being so far apart from each other we have to be creative in the way we work out the process. But anyway, it could be done. Thank you for the nice comment and for being so supportive.❤️

+Christine Birch It would be a choker, unless, you modify the weave in the center to a V shape.

+Olga Kapua They look green, but they are called Blue Zircon AB. They are Swarovski.

Well, if you wanted it to be a choker, sure. If you want it to hang lower, you will need to modify the center most two stitches to shape a V.

Thanks😁

💕💕❤️💕💕

You are very welcome 💕

I think it would be pretty, try it. There really aren’t any rules, just play with it. If it doesn’t look good do something else. That’s how you design. Just see something in your mind and try it.

+Selma Estevam Silvério 😀🌹👍🏻

Thank you!

Yes, you can. Thank you for the nice compliments!💙

White are 11/0 the gold are 11/0 and 15/0. Watch the video, I show the sizes and colors right after the intro.

You will have to order online, there are many suppliers. Try Auntiesbeadsdirect.com

Oh, and thank you for the nice compliment 🌹

+Mary Bolin sure you can use them, I do sometimes, sometimes I don't. They are a nice touch though.

+Diana Ellison you can try it, I think it should work...shape will be a little different

+you can try them, I don't see why they wouldn't work, Diana Ellison

I sympathize, as I have the same problem!

+Debra Conner I bought them from a wholesale site a few years ago, let me include the color number here, that may help with the search. The color number is: 2125

My 2125 is called Dyed Butter Cream Silver Lined Alabaster (like Miyuki 11-577). At least that's how it was described. Could this be the same?

Perhaps, but mine are gold lined.

I was wondering about the thread as well. I tried using the 10LB Nanofil recommended on another of your bracelets and I couldn't get the thread and #10 needle through the 15/0 beads. I finally took it all apart and used Fireline instead. Is Nanofil thinner? Thank you.

+Barbara Wagner Yes, I switched to Nanofil, which is made by the same company that makes Fireline, it is smoother, thinner and stronger than Fireline. Though I still use Fireline too, I prefer Nanofil. Thanks for the nice coment!

+Mary Cheney Yes, Nanofil is thinner. But your size 15/o seed beads may be smaller if you are not using Toho. Toho beads are bigger and have a wider hole than other brands. I would recommend 8lb Nanofil, if that is the case.

Thank you, that is good to know there are other options!

I think so, I use a lighter because it blobs up the thread creating a knot that won't slip through the beads.

+Decopainterandtea No I started to but never finished, perhaps I'll go back to it.

I mean bicon bead 😀

+ruth ann Copeland I bought them a very long time ago, I think it was from a wholesale site. But you can try eurekacrystalbeads.com they have a lot of Toho beads and the quantities and prices are great.

Thanks so much. I'll try them.

I was looking for them too and I never found a gold lined cream, but I did find #2125PF which is a Jonquil Opal color. I hope that helps somebody and saves them all the trouble that I went thru!
