Join Danielle Wickes & Julianna Jewels Avelar for this special Jewel Loom tutorial. Danielle shows how she makes a pair of earrings on the micro tiny loom, which is also Jewels' business card! She gives suggestions on what to use at the end to keep the warps lifted up, so you can work under them. And she finishes off the ends of the warps in a way which has not been done on a Jewel Loom tutorial before! Amazing & so easy!

there we go this is live now was it lunch with Jules or was it wine
0:09

1:11
[Music] I love it awesome oh Daniel thank you so much I
1:18
know it's so fun and so you know I have to um so everyone Danielle amazing Wix is that is that
1:26
that is how you enunciate it right Wix yeah okay easy peasy
1:32
um is joining us today and I had the honor to meet um Daniel at the bead Fest and so while
1:40
we had seen each other and um you know like when you were on niele show and everything we had never
1:47
actually met in person and so uh so that was super cool and
1:52
then you got a hold of what I brought to the show as like this little calling
1:57
card you know like in lieu of a business card I thought well you know I should
2:03
have a little micro tiny Loom to represent jewel loom and uh and when you
2:09
came back with this whole like I'm gonna actually use it as a loom I was floored
2:14
and so um and we should tell everyone a little bit more about you I know everyone a lot of people know you and
2:21
love you and adore you but you do many things you have your own business as a
2:27
artist designer but you do a lot of work with um John John Beads right is that
2:33
the right way to okay um they heard me full time like maybe
2:39
gosh it was and almost going on a year and a half ago and then since April they
2:45
gave me a new position so I get to do their um creative director so for their content marketing yeah yeah no fun at
2:53
all right like all the fun in the world
3:03
it should never be that way I mean I I know there are different seasons in our lives where we have to do what we have
3:09
to do but ultimately it's such a gift to to see it that way to where you can do
3:14
the work that you love and and that it doesn't seem like you know a grind or
3:19
whatever so congratulations on that I know they're an amazing company and I know that you do a lot of things as an
3:26
independent as well and so I'm just delighted that um that you also have a
3:33
love for the jewel looms so thank you I do and that goes that goes way back I
3:38
think it's one of the first looms that I tried oh wow okay it's I got hooked on
3:44
looming it was I think it was one of the like maybe the third bead Stitch I learned with seed beads oh my gosh I
3:49
love it because it's fast right like if you learn peyote first everybody learns bad and then you get this gorgeous cuff
3:55
bracelet and you're like wow that took me a long time yeah he's like way faster so yeah and
4:01
you know I I never was an off Loomer so I've only been and yeah I've only ever
4:07
been an on loom person so when people ask me things about off Loom I'm just like um
4:14
you know like I don't know like I love those words
4:20
no I'm not an yeah I'm an I'm a water worker like you know artistic wire was
4:25
my was my jam for a really long time and and um but but beating on a loom started
4:32
way back in the 90s when I was on Eileen's creative living and so that's actually how I got turned on to looming
4:39
and just felt fell in love with that and so um yeah you know Jill Wiseman was
4:45
always that off Loomer queen that I knew of right because she would do all the things and uh yeah and I would just be
4:52
like oh my gosh and uh but yeah I I'm an on on Loomer so so but I I'm so
5:02
respectful and and honor everyone that does all of those different stitches because I'm like oh wow that's so cool
5:09
but you know oh that's fun yeah yeah so you'll have
5:14
to show me that one day we'll do yeah
5:19
eat fast I walked into like showroom and you were presenting yes ran over there yeah you did I was I
5:27
think we were both like like you know uh I don't wanna well I don't know I was kind of stalking for you because I was
5:34
like I have to make sure I meet her and uh and so yeah no yeah it's so fun it's
5:40
so good when you know Beady Spirits find each other and we have a passion and a
5:46
drive and a love that's hard for everyone to understand you know so it's
5:52
like you you know you can't like go to your neighbor's house and be like oh my God so I like loomed this thing today
5:57
they'll just be like a Wyatt what'd you do is that legal
6:02
so yeah yeah but anyway I'm so I'm so happy that you're here and it does look
6:08
like um folks are finding us and I apologize you all you know I have decided I will not touch I am not
6:15
touching things um I don't know what it is it's just so stinking funny and God bless you Joan
6:21
for not I know if Joan sees me she probably will beat me with my loom
6:27
kicking her head no she's taking her head now
6:34
yes Joan Joan holds quite a few of us right she she's behind the scenes but
6:42
she holds several of us and keeps us all looking really good so we appreciate and
6:47
love you Joan very much yeah so so we're um correct me if I'm wrong
6:55
um we're streaming to the Facebooks and streaming to um the YouTube channel so is that
7:02
correct Joe so I would just want to say welcome to everyone I see the little TVs and the
7:08
little F's for the Facebook so um super excited to see everybody Bonnie
7:14
is here and Melissa and uh and I did see Maria and it's scrolling a little too fast for me to
7:21
keep up there but yes from Hawaii awesome so anyway
7:26
um you're gonna show us and I'm I'm very fascinated I'm gonna try to work along
7:31
I'm wanting to make um these patterned earrings
7:39
and so I wanted I want to use the turquoise and the beige and the Terra
7:44
Cotta and the teal that mimic um the hat band that we've made before
7:50
and so and so I love all the Native American
7:55
um you know earrings and what have you and and stuff so I'm gonna do that and
8:01
then I saw the tassel I can't and then I saw you know I grabbed all the things I was like
8:06
what is she doing so I think I have the things
8:13
yeah you did so in case anyone didn't have the one item there could be some other item in
8:19
order yeah yeah yeah definitely and so I um uh
8:25
I'm just going to turn it over to you and then I'm gonna be back here watching I will say I love how you
8:33
you tied in the front here and you're going to show us all that but that was smart because I think that these little
8:39
guys are too short and could be frustrating for some you know to try to
8:44
get a knot around that so I thought it was brilliant you're going to show us that now and I'm going to stop talking
8:50
[Laughter] so Joan do what you need to do honey
8:58
I don't know if she's going to kick me out or put me to the side or what's going to happen here
9:03
oh there it is okay um so what was when I first got the business card
9:09
from Jules I was looking at it and I without really thinking much about it just looked at it and thought Oh my God
9:15
that's the coolest loom ever and um then I was sitting on the airplane on
9:21
the way home and I started to play with trying to get it to work and so I kind of just used
9:26
what I had on hand at the time which was a pencil and then I warped over the pencil and
9:34
then it kind of pressed it up toward the top to create some tension and it went okay but um I wasn't able to get my
9:40
finger under the under the warp threads and um you know when you loom you want to be able to get your hand underneath the
9:46
warp so you can push those beads up so they pop up so that you can get that needle back through over
9:51
the warp threads um when you're doing your wefting so um it was a little challenging for that
9:56
reason so when I was on the plane what I was doing was just kind of pushing this down and I reached a point where I could get
10:02
this under it and use it to pop up the beads but that one was more um like it was more like it had to really kind of
10:08
fuss with it and play a little bit and plus you know there was turbulence and all that but it worked but then when I
10:15
got home I started thinking what do I have that's as tall as my my fingers so I can get my fingers under it and so I
10:21
started looking around at stuff and the first thing I tried was like a well I tried the burner first wow because it's
10:27
about 14 millimeter diameter a bean tube would also work so like if you don't
10:32
have that you can just use a bead tube and um just anything that's about as tall as your finger so you can get your finger
10:37
under it would work and then um Joan was saying Hey try the tassel maker and I think if you could get it to stay
10:42
upright that would also be pretty cool um and then last but not least if you can do woodworking
10:49
I sent the heavy out to the garage to make me this after I made the first few pairs and this is probably the one that
10:55
I think is the most handy although I wish I had maybe I need to sand it down a little bit or even create some grooves on it but this I can fit my fingers
11:02
under it so I can get my you know warps going um the right way when I get the the
11:08
beads on there so that's another way you could do it um so try all those things
11:13
um the cool thing about this and why I went through all the you know rigmarole to get it to work was
11:19
I was thinking um it's like the least wasteful for your thread and um the wildfire that I'm using right
11:25
now is the point I'm using I used 0.006 you could use 0.082 but it doesn't use
11:31
that much thread and then at the end I'm going to show a method where you can just pull all your warps through and all of the stuff I've been saying
11:38
and um all of the pattern and diagramming and stuff is in a handout that Joan's been posting in the chat
11:43
over there I saw it pop up a few times there so there's and there's pictures of all these things including my I took a photo
11:48
on the plane of like look yeah lots of fun stuff to check out um and then so what you'll need in
11:55
addition to that little Loom and something to create tension with is some seed beads and you can get any size I
12:01
use size eight I think this will work with other sizes but size 8 is the fastest and the easiest and it also
12:06
makes um you know kind of a one for one with this size right here spacing so that's why I
12:13
want the eight and um four colors is what I used in the patterns but you can use any colors you
12:18
want and you can change up a pattern um and let's see anything else you might want some tools at the end some focal
12:24
beads some ear wires charms whatever you want to do to finish your earring would be great
12:31
um yeah that's that's pretty much it so I'm gonna just dive in and the hardest part of this of course like with everything
12:37
else is those first rows and getting it set up um but once you've got it going you've got it going and you're good so um
12:44
I did work from the school and just directly off the spool is easier for me
12:51
and then I chose the top left corner here and I'm gonna just wrap it around this Edge once and just do a knot just
12:58
to get it to stay so going over here and please feel free jump in with questions if I'm going too
13:04
fast or if there's anything that doesn't make sense this is definitely a lot of info coming at you all at once
13:13
and I'm just going to make a loop so one thing I do when I'm starting a loop is you see how I kind of made that one
13:19
through I'm going to go through it once more so like a surgeon's not right that just
13:24
makes it not wiggle when you place it onto the little Edge prong there
13:31
and then I'm going to do one more knot and we'll cut this off at the end so it
13:37
doesn't need to be any certain length or anything this is just going to be something we'll cut off when we remove it from the loom
13:43
and so even though I have this handy dandy thing here that is is like you
13:48
know the the ultimate like for for me to use I'm going to try to work with another item so that you guys can get the idea and I
13:55
might fumble with it a little bit but just stick with me I'm going to use
14:00
um I'm going to use this again because this worked for me last time but I do think seed bead tube is
14:06
actually even a little bigger well hey maybe I'll use the CV tube even though it'll be my first time trying it it's kind of the same
14:11
concept and um you need to put 14 warps on if you're doing the same pattern as me so it's a
14:19
13 rows so you want to do 14 works and again this pattern is in
14:24
in the back of that PDF that Jones been posting so I'm just going to come down here
14:31
and then turn and come up so here's the back I'm just using the prongs that's just
14:37
like a way to turn and this is a lot like uh the other looms the uh the warrior limbs too these
14:44
kind of the same setup I just got one for but I think is the
14:51
September activity that's it's pretty tiny
14:58
and cute a little bigger than this one more bracelet-like right
15:05
but this is just ideal for earrings and
15:13
pretty quick to do to work let's see how many I've got
15:20
I'm gonna fix that edge one two three four five six seven eight nine
15:29
ten eleven twelve thirteen here's my 13th
15:34
and I'm using pretty tight tension but I've got a little trickier at the end for us to give it one last little tight
15:39
okay so there's my my 14 warps
15:47
and now what I'm going to do is not this to the edge so first I'm
15:52
going to trim some of this off and get that spool out of the way
15:59
and what I did to keep my tension going while I did this kind of like looping around as I just went around a couple
16:05
times ago
16:21
I'm getting it through the loop third okay now I gotta tighten everything up
16:26
and so what I noticed is my knot side will tighten up a little bit if I pull
16:31
it this way and then and slide my tube all the way up
16:37
and get that tension to tighten and anything that you need to adjust like I have some adjustments that need to be
16:42
happening here so this one and so I wanted to also point out that
16:48
this process is a lot easier with something that doesn't move while you're doing this stuff so when I work with my
16:56
little block over here when I'm doing the warping it's kind of it's down a little further towards the
17:01
little round part and then right before I get ready to do my first stitches I
17:07
push it up to tighten the tension and it stays put I'm gonna have to do that over and over
17:13
again as we work with my tube because my tube is going to wiggle on me so that's the only thing about using
17:20
like a tube ideally if you could get like a half moon dowel or something blocky would be even better but I
17:27
figured I wanted to show it's possible on something everybody's got in their stash which is a team so
17:33
so there's that and it's going to move a little bit on me I'm not going to worry about it you get some more some more thread here
17:41
you'll need um and I think I might have left that info out it doesn't use a lot of thread but maybe like 35 inches or so
17:46
to do your wefting would be good if you're doing the full 11 rows with
17:53
the uh 13 beads across like I'm doing so there's my flattening I'm flattening
18:00
this so I can get my needle going and there's that okay so let's get some
18:06
beads earlier I just dumped out all these so I'm going to use these again
18:22
[Music] okay so I'm going to start and try to match
18:28
what I got going over here and any questions out there please jump in and let me know if there's anything that
18:34
I've skipped over gone too fast
18:43
so just copying that and something that looks like this
18:49
and I don't knot the edge of my thread on as I'm going can you hear me Danielle
18:56
yeah gotcha okay sorry I'm I'm over here in the bottom corner like I couldn't hear you are you I know I had
19:04
to be added to the screen okay so let me just ask you something because um so I got I got this far okay but but
19:14
if I'm not mistaken what I really should have done is the the goal would be to
19:19
whatever this is be it the burner or a seed bead um container that it it
19:27
needs to stay up here as close as possible because I can't get this to go up any higher
19:35
yeah yeah all right well yeah
19:40
is that what like I tried okay because but but I guess I guess
19:47
that I would have wanted to and I'll loosen it up but the goal would have been to
19:54
oh so I needed to stay a little bit more loose uh so this is a psychology thing
19:59
because when we're weaving normally it's all about a tight warp keeping the
20:04
consistency so we all need to remember that if we're going to use the micro tiny Loom
20:11
we have to keep it a little loose in order for it to then get tight because we're adding the tension afterwards it
20:18
does that make sense yes it does okay because I didn't do that okay redo all
20:23
right um but I do think I mean I feel like it can work either way right like for example if you had something that
20:30
wasn't going to wiggle on you yeah moving it toward the top the only reason it actually ended up
20:35
getting loose on me as I warped it yeah is because my thing my my tube is moving
20:40
around as I'm yeah I really feel like the winner thing here is like a half moon dowel yeah I'm helping uh uh I'm
20:49
sure we can make one [Laughter]
20:56
yeah but now I better understand that see you know because when I teach and I
21:01
in my head I'm I'm like okay trying to keep it tight right I'm trying to keep
21:07
it tight because that's what we do with all the other looms but now we have to
21:12
keep it a little bit Loosey because of yeah okay all right so we're good okay
21:20
on the trickier side for sure yeah no it's awesome it's so awesome I I just in
21:26
one of those um you know visual thinkers so I have to get it in my head yeah you know what I'm
21:32
saying so I just have to process okay I'm gonna leave now bye oh no okay
21:40
well yeah so that that was great a great um
21:45
yeah no it was great um a great thing to point out because I hadn't mentioned it as I was going I didn't really think
21:50
about it that much um really I wasn't able to get it to be as tight as I'd hoped as I was warping
21:56
it and sometimes it goes better for me than other times and definitely goes better when the object that I'm using
22:01
like a tube here isn't as able to move around because at every Stitch I'm probably going to be pushing it up
22:08
and so it's going to get a little tricky but um when I start my lines I do things
22:13
kind of different I feel like you could do a little knot here on your Edge most work
22:19
I feel like that would be totally fine but there's a thing we're going to do at the end where you're going to want to be able to get that loose
22:24
so I think what I'll do for mine I usually actually don't even not at all but what I'll do for this one is I'm
22:30
gonna experiment with doing just one knot and see if the one knot
22:35
makes it just a little easier to do this next step this next step is um oh rubber band around both sides oh my
22:42
God that's brilliant brilliant yes and that it would work because you've got these little sides here
22:48
so we've got some great ideas out there yeah oh I wish I had one I would go
22:56
around here and then around the other side and kind of like Hook It To The Top
23:01
okay I'm definitely going to try that I'll get a rubber band after the live hearing give that a go
23:07
oh they've saved me a lot of kind of fumbling around with that too right
23:15
and so I've got my knot here and I'm going to bring these little beadies under it and what I was doing on the plane
23:21
because I had set it up warped it so I couldn't even get under it so I was actually pushing down on the beads
23:27
I did that for my first free rows just to get started I didn't have the tassel maker at the time but the tassel maker
23:32
can really help you with that too because you can get the tassel maker going and bring these down oh and I kind of
23:39
look really weird um Loom weird eye Loom from the bottom up a lot of people go from the top down
23:45
I was doing this for some reason and it's going to work either way for you you'll just end up doing this Step
23:50
at the end instead of the beginning there it goes
23:57
a lot of you out there are thinking yeah that girl was determined to be able to Loom on a plane and you're right that's what was going
24:03
on with me I was like I was just determined to make it work that day
24:09
I don't know I can't sleep on planes so I just have to have something something to do
24:15
okay so there's my first row got that on there and I'm just gonna put
24:21
my second one on oops I'm going the wrong way look at this one
24:38
all right
24:45
yeah that rubber band ID is brilliant I gotta remember that
24:52
oh the bead comb that will work too yeah and I just got that I did I think it's um in the last
24:58
kit that came out I'm so glad I discovered I didn't know
25:04
you did a um a monthly class and I just joined and it's exciting to me
25:17
and I was joking with Joan before class and I always sign up and forget to join the classes I gotta remember
25:23
and definitely join it so what I'm doing right now is I haven't really gone underneath my my warps yet
25:31
kind of on the edges I'm doing that a little bit with my fingers but I am making sure I stay above my warp threads
25:39
as I'm going through and doing this part
25:44
in these first few rows are going to be my Nemesis they're a little tricky but it gets much easier as you get gone
26:03
okay so let's get some more threads here
26:08
threads beads
26:18
and I'm gonna come underneath these
26:32
and I'm starting to get to that spot where I feel like I can get my fingers under it right above the third row is where I get
26:38
I get there speeds to come back
26:44
another thing I noticed is as you add rows it just gets a little tighter every time which gives you a little advantage
27:01
but I bet Jules as you're watching this you're thinking because you're an inventor and that's how your mind I feel
27:06
like that's how your mind will you'll see what I'm doing and you'll be like I know exactly how to make that better
27:13
and make it like more efficient so I can't wait to hear your ideas
27:28
and here's three and one
27:33
hey so I have to type out Joan add me
27:41
yeah yeah are you having ideas right now I
27:46
wonder what you're thinking like as far as changing stuff up and making it more efficient yeah I think I think um I
27:52
think it's I I've texted Robert to to get over here as well and uh to peek in but um I
28:01
stopped trying to follow because I want I have to watch I have to understand every second of what's Happening Here so
28:09
um first of all again to take something it so here's it ah I I might when I go
28:16
back off I might go grab it so here's the funny thing or interesting thing in 2019 when we came out with
28:26
the first wood Looms the goddess shape and I was getting ready to propose those
28:33
looms to JTV she was flat
28:39
really yeah and I'm gonna go find her I have her I'm gonna go show you the
28:44
original so and it's kind of funny because I have a um so it's not what we ended up moving forward with and the
28:51
funny thing is that there's possibly a dozen of them so I was going to put them online but I thought to myself people
28:57
know what to do well now they will number one now they will know what to do
29:03
with her but uh yeah it's so interesting because I think that uh
29:11
it really is the end users what they need right uh I had one person
29:18
um or you know people will enjoy more space between the risers and you know
29:26
the bottom of the Woodland like with the original jewel loom when you warp it you know you have
29:31
you know gradually you work up to what like two inches or something two and a half inches of space but when you're up
29:38
here on the jewel loom you know you've got you could get under there like what like into I don't know an inch and a
29:44
half or something so to work on something flat is like a whole different experience is what I'm trying to get to
29:50
so it is I I think it's all in what you can maneuver and
29:57
so um but it is funny I'm gonna go find I'm gonna go find the flat because they
30:04
were flat but this is so awesome and I'm I'm understanding uh-huh sorry
30:11
oh no good you're I was thinking like it would need um maybe something top and bottom
30:19
because it's the size that um is so appealing for earrings yeah
30:24
but there's less waste yeah which is teeny yeah so there's the right
30:32
because the mini is not everybody got the mini in their September Workshop but um and she came with a necklace kit but
30:39
that has not even hit the shop yet as an individual um really item so I'm going to put her
30:46
up for October my birthday month I'm just trying to decide what I want to
30:52
I usually like to offer something with the Looms um but anyway so that's that's the mini
30:58
but oh happy birthday yeah I think yeah a couple weeks
31:05
yeah so the this micro promo business card that has turned into obviously
31:12
um something incredibly awesome thanks to you um yeah we'll have to definitely
31:20
definitely see uh what we can add to it to make it a little more simple
31:27
and um yeah yeah it's so it's it's really
31:32
fascinating and I'm just I I love how you um start your your weave and it's absolutely you
31:40
know you can start on the bottom you can start on the top some people hold their Loom you know side to side so this way
31:47
instead of this way you're going to get to this yeah you're going to get to the same place so
31:53
um that's all good it is cool it is super cool I love how it works no matter like what
32:00
way you you try it you can always make it yeah that's the coolest thing about
32:05
looming yeah so many ways it makes great stuff and those beads uh if my eyes
32:12
serve me well are reminding me of the rasta hemp cord
32:18
do you all agree yeah it's reminding me of the of the rasta palette on the on the hemp cord
32:25
that we have and so that's really fun it's so beautiful
32:31
that's super pretty I can send you a batch of these beads these are the Czech
32:36
Terror intensives oh what how does the check wet
32:43
um precious colorway now um and they come in this
32:48
lustery one and they come in a mat now there's a matte finish oh but it's um super slick this is like the purple and
32:55
these are some of the other they have I remember correctly nine colors in total here's some over here that's the
33:01
rose yeah that is gorgeous that is super gorgeous you know
33:07
October's colors I love yes yes yeah
33:13
well and I have a um when I went to Mexico several years ago I um bought
33:20
dishes you know I could not leave messages in fact if I could if I could
33:26
figure out how to live in Mexico I'd probably be one of those people that would go live in Mexico like I love the
33:31
country so much but I have yeah I have this I have dishes that are in those
33:38
colors and they're just so fun and yeah they're okay I have to go unpack
33:44
everything [Laughter] yeah temporary quarters for the last two
33:50
years everything's just kind of staring at me um but yeah yeah I really love that I
33:57
love both palettes this palette is reminding me of of more of my Portuguese
34:03
Heritage and the other pile definitely yeah it's got that Mexico Flair
34:10
happiness fun festive break out the Margaritas that's a feeling that it has to meet you
34:17
that's the first thing I thought when I saw these vibrant colors yeah I just brought that all back I I also
34:22
come from Southern California so oh he's a strong influence for me too yes so you
34:28
know yeah it's just so pretty wow how many how many rows do you have right
34:34
now this is my 11th and last row oh okay oh okay oh so I I I wasn't off then I I was
34:43
getting concerned that uh that I wasn't going to be able to get my
34:49
enough rows but I see now so I'm glad I stopped so that I could have a better
34:55
visual this is what's so great yeah I felt like my my burner had fallen
35:01
and and I was trying to get it up to the top too much oh I see what you're saying yeah because
35:08
I can slide it around if I wanted to move it right now I could just go ahead because it's not something like with the
35:15
bracelet you wouldn't be able to do it as easily but right yeah yeah yeah so psychologically you all
35:20
um we're gonna have to think a little bit different when we're warping this
35:27
um because it's just going to be just a little bit of a different flow so so make sure you watch this
35:33
demonstration a couple of times to best understand the positioning yeah exactly
35:39
that's so good and will you do the front really quick again okay so see I was fine I was I was
35:47
thinking I was I was thinking I needed to be up higher and I did not okay okay
35:54
awesome no I think I love this yeah where there's something up here and
36:01
something down here that's thin you know like yeah like that yeah and then just in the shape you just pop
36:08
it in your purse and then if you get if you need your loom fix no matter where you are you're okay you know that's what
36:14
I was thinking and I was thinking that um you know when I travel and if I need
36:19
to put the needle I take the blue tape the blue painters tape and I'll I'll
36:25
kiss the needle up to the loom and then I'll put a strip of blue paint or straight tape so that it doesn't poke me
36:31
and then I can still travel with my needle needle not that they're going to take a needle away I hope but um but to
36:38
your point how stinking fun to have your little bag if you're just gonna do a
36:44
weekend of earring making at wherever you know yeah so perfect I'm just so
36:51
grateful that you you did this and I'm sure everybody is yeah well I'm grateful
36:56
you gave me these cool little cards to play with that was like a six hour four hour one
37:03
or five hour ended up being six hours with everything I know sitting there like with nothing to do yeah no it's
37:08
great because you could put everything you need into a little bag and and call it a day right so cool yeah it's super cool okay I'm
37:16
Gonna Let You continue I just had to no I was I was hoping this question mark
37:21
um because I know your eye when you see I think there's something about watching somebody
37:27
maybe struggle through something a little bit to create Innovation it's that necessity yeah like she's doing
37:32
that and that could be so much better if you just we just yeah and then it just triggers all these the inventors that
37:38
block that block is awesome though the block is really yeah yeah
37:46
I want to cut it in half this way yeah
37:51
well it's like your career you're creating you're creating uh removable risers
37:56
yes yeah exactly yeah I forgot my other light this is too
38:02
bright but yeah very good I'm going to be quiet now
38:08
I'm going to take this off um and then finish it okay what do you think yeah so Joan go ahead and remove
38:14
me because for giggles I'm gonna go find the flat Loom that we started I can't wait to see that okay so real
38:21
quick guys I'm just gonna pull this off alone and um we can do it again with this one if you want to see it twice but
38:27
um in the diagram you're going to see something a little funny now of course once you take that tension rod whatever
38:33
tension tube out of your loom and you pull it off it's gonna look like that perfect go ahead and just take it off
38:38
the top you might need to cut it free or you might be able to just slide it off this way I've had luck getting it off and then
38:45
sometimes I've had to cut it so whichever works and this one the knot that I did here wasn't fabulous and it
38:51
just I can just undo it so there we go step one get it off the
38:56
loom and then you'll want to lay it down and just have it it doesn't actually
39:02
matter which side front or back you lay it but if you wanted to keep it exactly as it's written in the diagram the side that you
39:08
had your knot on which was your top left is the one that's going to look like that okay knotted so you can just kind
39:14
of Orient it the same way making sure all my Loops are separated out from each other not hugging each other one's going
39:20
through the other one and now I'm going to do something with my chain nose pliers to get rid get my
39:27
warps to kind of just like strand through um and the first thing I want to do
39:32
though before I do that I had a thought I want to un not my side here if I can
39:38
remember we started this one with a little a little V knot there
39:44
I believe it's still going to pull through even through my little knot but just in case remember this is the weft
39:50
knot that we did right at the beginning and I did it as a single
39:56
and if I can't get it to come loose easily I won't fuss with it too much but I feel like it might help me
40:05
was getting this next step to work out a little smoother and it's coming out just fine so here we go
40:12
and again this was that single little knot I didn't do a double knot it was a little single knot that I did to the side thread
40:19
when I was first getting started with my weft
40:25
apologies for the view of the top of my head well it's loose enough now that it's going to pull through okay
40:30
so that's gonna work out fine and I do think it would still work even
40:36
with that little knot but okay so again that that the diagram for what
40:42
I'm doing here is in the handout and the only thing you want to think about is where is my Center so I'm going
40:50
to grab my chain nose pliers again over here my center row is my middle uh
40:55
orange one here let's put a little bit a little lower come down
41:01
here we go so I'm going to take my pliers and I'm going to pull on this one this one right
41:07
here that's the one that is just to the left of my Center
41:13
and you don't have to pull very hard just be very gentle and just kind of push on it push it down a little bit and
41:19
as you pull up do you see that bottom Loop it's just coming up and it's just gently hugging my bottom feed don't pull too
41:26
hard or it'll kind of cinch up your work it works beautiful and flat right now I just want to keep it that way so just be
41:32
really gentle and slow about everything methodical thinking about it and again in the diagram it says the
41:37
next one you're going to do it's numbered you just go ahead and pull down on this side
41:44
and this will work with different counts the trick is always to work from the center
41:52
and every time you do it it's gonna you're gonna have more thread to pull through because it's going to get longer every time
42:00
and yes this works on bracelets it's trickier on bracelets I also really highly recommend if you're
42:05
going to try this doing it with wildfire because other threads that you can puncture
42:11
it won't work at all if you've punctured the thread with your weft when you're coming through if you puncture a warp
42:16
thread this won't work at all that it works great with Wildfire because it's very hard to puncture
42:22
Wildfire you have to try I feel like
42:28
oh yeah painters tape for sure and that's really handy on a bracelet especially if you're working with beads
42:33
that are smaller than Ada definitely true
42:45
all right and so this is the side where you remember we have our little knot over here I don't think it's going to be
42:51
a problem but I'm going to just be gentle in case I feel like it'll pull right through my
42:56
knot
43:07
all right so one side's done so we're good on that side and now I need to do my other side
43:14
and um remember we started in the middle and we
43:20
pulled up from The Middle what you want to do now is pull down from the one that's left of the middle
43:26
now when we pulled up from here and we pulled up on this one what it did is it pulled this Loop down
43:35
here all the way up to Huggy that line so our next thing to pull down is this
43:40
one and then we're just going to do the same thing we did before so on and so forth just keep going and pulling each of
43:47
those sides down so here comes this next one it's just traveling
43:54
I'm going I actually really love doing this it's really satisfying to finish a loom
44:00
project like this really fun
44:05
there's that one
44:11
and you don't have to use your pliers I feel like there's other ways you can pull it through I just feel like the chain nose pliers get a better grip
44:19
and what's happening up here is this is going to get stuck inside my Loop so I'm just going to get him out of
44:25
my Loop again just getting that thread
44:30
and pull that down
44:38
coming up and we're really close to being done
44:43
here's this side
44:58
there's that one last one and I just wanted to say something real quick about the last side
45:04
your right side if you're working like I did where you started this way and you
45:09
pulled back through kind of the right-handed loomers way if you did that your type side is going to be this side
45:16
the right so this one's not going to come through with as much ease you're going to have
45:22
to really like not get scared and just go ahead and just pull it so I'm going to push down
45:29
and then just pull it but don't worry you haven't done anything wrong if it's not working right away it's just that it this side is
45:36
going to be your tight side because when we did our our back weft it put pressure on the side here
45:43
but there you go so all set there and all we have left to do now is weave in only these four strands
45:50
and what I did on my designs was I chose the shorter of the two and just got rid of those first and then I took these
45:55
long ones that I have left here at the top and I use those to make my Loops for my earring
46:02
and so I was just going to check in with Jules and Joan and make sure I'm still cruising okay for time if you'd like me
46:08
to show put in those loops on and doing the weave in thumbs up if you guys are okay with that
46:17
now let's make a start at it really quick so I'm going to Loop over
46:22
um on this side you see how we've got our like our warping thread oh hey Jules okay so
46:28
um yeah so I this is so good because who knew that weaving had so much
46:35
psychological stuff but um
46:40
it's super meditative and it's so interesting because I'm always saying be
46:45
careful how you pull one end of your warps right because they're going like
46:51
this so to actually see it how you're doing this it's like you know my mind's
46:57
blown because it shows everybody like how those warps can shift
47:02
but how brilliant to turn it into a finished you know technique so yeah I can't wait
47:09
to like now I'm like oh I gotta make something because I wanna I've not done that I've not done that and so I'm I'm
47:17
yeah I've not done this idea that you know where you're pulling um because I'm always in the frame of
47:23
mind to be careful of how I'm pulling my warps right so that I don't shift my
47:29
project and so I appreciate yes so I appreciate this very much because you're getting so
47:35
many visuals today that are um they're just so big so thank you
47:43
yeah they support other ones where you
47:50
were eating so it's so good that's cool yeah it's it's so good thank you thank you oh thanks
47:57
yeah go for it keep to keep doing your thing it's awesome I'm sitting here drooling so just keep going
48:03
yay well all I'm going to do is just weave in and then create those little loops and then we can um I figure
48:08
everyone's seen the wire wrapping before for like putting charms on the stuff but oh sure yeah but like for this one this
48:15
this is my uh side warp right here and sometimes when I'm about to weave in
48:20
what's left this is what's left on my left it even still has my needle I look at where it's exiting and see I'm
48:26
exiting kind of like under it let's come over it and then go through
48:31
okay just to get myself in there without um the thread not catching on that side
48:38
one you want it to catch on that side work so it's tight yeah so it's it's grabbing it
48:43
yeah and there's no reason are you using you're using a smaller needle but I could use my jewel loom needle right I
48:50
think so okay yeah okay I just wanted and Nicole's asking can we use yeah this
48:56
works on all Loom projects and yeah I think um with beadalon we did a live or we did
49:02
a really long one yeah um it's a little scarier on a long one does that make sense like right so get
49:08
the technique down on these little ones yeah because it doesn't move as freely and then also you have to really hold
49:13
your piece but um some I think it was Maria that said painters tape someone posted newspapers Maria did put put that
49:21
and yeah because the whole thing when when we're talking when we take a piece off of the Loom like a bracelet
49:28
you know there's that concern that you don't want to pull the warps on the one end like I already said right so you
49:34
have to keep this consistency of not of just being careful that your whole piece
49:41
doesn't shift so I would say get the technique down on these little pieces and then Advance into trying it on a
49:49
bigger piece and then definitely keeping the weight so it's a go slow go slow is definitely yeah that's going
49:56
to go slow yeah and I have a hard time with that because I get excited at the stage
50:02
I know yeah I know I I get way too excited I hit buttons that say in
50:07
broadcast instead of you know for sure I do that too so Hands-On thing
50:15
all the things good I feel so much better
50:21
we all do it takes the courage to try to do stuff
50:26
online I'm just not getting brave enough yeah I think that is good to know you know
50:32
there are so many different techniques I've watched um uh I think it's I think Leslie does this
50:38
rondowski she um will do the invisible uh I don't know if that's the right word
50:44
but she'll she'll do this where you take and re-thread all the warps and then you know she's putting them back into the
50:50
piece and it's it's ridiculously stunning um time consuming is all get out but so
50:58
beautiful right so I feel like we have yeah and there so there are all of these different stages of how you can
51:05
how you can weave how you know and and it's great because if you're just starting
51:11
then it's good to know that you can do these simple things and still have an incredibly beautiful piece and then as
51:18
you grow right you get to learn more advanced things so it's I love the versatility of
51:27
it all yeah me too yeah and then there's always a tool in your pocket for ending anything and finishing anything and
51:34
right [Laughter] and it's just so easy I feel like to
51:40
weave in the rest of the way I don't um I've watched some of your lives now to do leading in do you like to do the
51:45
picking up the warp thread yeah yeah I think yeah so like I'll come back in
51:51
exactly I'll come back in and see and so Leslie has a technique um where where she'll grab those long
51:59
warps and go all the way back into the finished project and and it's stunning because she's using
52:05
um you know those crazy beautiful Delica those tiny little guys that I can hardly
52:11
see I need to tune into this I need to I have to tag you in the video um please do yeah and uh
52:20
yeah but I do I'll grab one of the warps oh yeah yeah I'll grab I'll grab one of
52:27
the warps to tie off on like that yeah yeah that's the the way that I've always
52:32
kind of liked doing it because I have a hard time with um I can't really get my needle through the
52:38
sides very well when well these are Big beads but like some of the smaller beads that I like to use like the delicas uh-huh at this stage like I'm having
52:45
problems getting my needle through my beans because I've gone through because they're so tiny yep for sure like
52:52
wildfires is beautiful thick doesn't stretch yes and multiple trips through a bead is sometimes like a problematic
52:59
step for me especially an 11 hour a 15 or yeah yeah you like to work with 15s
53:06
oh no I used to and I don't I know okay that
53:12
it's probably not fair to say that I just feel like it would be hard on my eyes
53:19
um but my girlfriend Brandy my childhood girlfriend Brandy she is
53:24
she's that person like she does yeah she does the extremely
53:29
tiny beads and and patterns and um yeah she's
53:34
really good with that yeah yeah um Kelly Dell is the one that really
53:41
rebirthed my passion for seed beads you know somewhere along the way I just kind of like I don't know it's really weird
53:48
how we transition in our um oh I don't know if you can still hear me
53:54
I can hear you yes oh awesome okay um yeah it's kind of it's interesting how
54:00
we Tran how we transition in our create you know creativity like what beads were drawn to and
54:07
um and so seed beads have just come back into my life with a Vengeance and really Kelly from off the beaded path really
54:14
helped to rebirth that passion you know because that's where I started back in
54:19
the day on a leans that's we just did a ton of seed bead work and so and then somewhere along the way somebody turned
54:26
me on to check beads and I think it's when I had my company jewelcraft that I
54:32
got really into into the um the check beads but we had checked seed beads back
54:37
then and so yeah yeah so anyway I I love
54:43
what you're doing right here that's yeah oh thank you so you're just kind of
54:48
crisscrossing around and yeah just kind of getting me back in there like if I change direction three
54:54
times in a lot of my other seed beading classes I always say that's kind of like three turns as a charm forget you
55:00
something woven in yeah without having to do a knot because I tend to not not but um a lot of my friends that do see
55:07
beating they are knotters and they do a knot right so it's really beautiful so I always say just go with which
55:12
whichever method you like to do yeah I'm so glad to see you do what you just did
55:18
to re-thread yeah yeah yeah that was I I it was Wyatt I believe who
55:25
it was either Wyatt or Meredith now I can't remember it's been so many years but one of them did that and I was like
55:31
oh duh oh he did they did it years ago and I was and I think it was Wyatt who
55:38
said Jules you know if you just blah blah blah and I was like oh good to know just smushed the wildfire and then it'll
55:44
get into the eye better oh exactly yeah all right yeah oh that
55:49
just you know I have to just tell you and I don't know if you've had this experience but there is something so
55:56
um it it's it's so many words when you have
56:03
a piece on the jewel looms uh the wood ones in particular
56:08
it's interesting to me where things end up so like right now you have your piece
56:14
and you can see the crown right and so do you ever find that
56:20
when you get your piece and it's on the loom and then do you ever just notice where your piece has landed on the
56:26
design work of the Loom have you ever resonated yeah like that's something for me and I don't know maybe
56:32
just because I birth them that I'm more connected to that visual but um
56:38
sometimes I'll have a hard time taking a piece off the loom because people on there doesn't it
56:44
because it looks like it's added art and it's so hard for me
56:49
I don't know if anybody else has had that experience or feel you know it's just something that I really um it just
56:58
I don't know there's something cool about it there really is no for sure I feel like um that that's
57:04
probably why um like you gave me the extra looms and now I can do that yeah
57:10
and I accidentally only put um I put the wrong number of seed beads here oh I say that yeah I'm just pulling it out but um
57:18
you could just go with three but the reason I went with four is because I like how my yeah would like sit in between the um
57:25
I can't get enough of that palette I'm gonna send you a whole set of these so you can yeah
57:31
yeah they are uh yeah super duper fun
57:36
and just happy we all need happy we do and like I feel like um you know
57:43

58:49
them around in his little Frenchy mouth and then he throws them up in the air and chases them it's hysterical but I
58:55
can only let him do that like once because I'm afraid he's gonna swallow it
59:00

59:06
that's funny yeah they do they definitely they
59:11
definitely um I like my son wants a dog really bad my older son oh boy and I'm I'm not ready
59:19
to take on that responsibility it is like it's a child it is it is and our house isn't safe right now for kids yeah
59:27
yeah like debris everywhere yeah it's a lot of work I mean Marlon Brando is a
59:34
tremendous amount of work you know with his issues and
59:40
um okay I mean he's delightful I love him to death but it is it's like a child
59:46
it says it's something that you have to make make sure you're ready to do every day right yes
59:52
yeah because he you know he's got to do all his business and you know he'll stare at me until I take him out to for
59:59
you know a w I can't even say the word because he's snoring behind me right now so it'll wake him up right because he
1:00:04
can hear him yeah he'll he'll be like a w then I'll have to stop everything I'm
1:00:10
doing to go for a w which is fine usually except for it's
1:00:15
been like very hot here so you know it's not safe um because what's your temperature today
1:00:22
I today it still feels warm let's see
1:00:31
um okay so it says the high is 73 but I
1:00:38
swear it feels like it's 80. two in like Havasu so there's that
1:00:45
I know that is hot yeah so I don't know if I mentioned when we met I grew up in the Mojave Desert at
1:00:53
least that's where I lived from when I was 10. oh no way that's so cool we used to yeah
1:01:00
we moved there from Florida oh my gosh so you went from humid to
1:01:06
yeah to hot the kids in the neighborhood were like what we got all these like boogie boards
1:01:11
and beach stuff because we lived in Tampa Bay and we got there and there's like what are you gonna do dirt surfing
1:01:17
because like we go in the backyard with our little kiddie pools we're trying to fill it up we were so sad it was like
1:01:22
120 degrees is very different than like eight years yeah I definitely like the
1:01:28
dry heat over the humidity and Rosalinda is is mentioning that there is humidity and it's so crazy
1:01:34
it's been a very weird season here in California for for the weather but I do
1:01:40
like the hot um dry heat my body enjoys a lot more in
1:01:46
my hair awesome yes yeah yeah so everyone's
1:01:52
giving you um a shout out for your weekly shows on on Michael's and so I
1:01:57
think that's so special yeah they love watching you every week and Jones been
1:02:02
posting links to your shop and and all the things where where you can
1:02:09
be found oh thank you Joan yeah I'm just starting to do a little
1:02:14
bit more lives like for a while all I really did was the Michael's classes and it's mostly just because I I um you know
1:02:21
didn't know how to prepare more content than that in such a short period of time yeah it's a lobster a little bit at it
1:02:28
and so like last was last week or not last weekend but we can before that I I was like sitting here working on
1:02:34
something and and I'm like oh I could just turn on my YouTube and see if I could record it and
1:02:40
so I just like literally did that it was so crazy yes yeah
1:02:47
yeah it's a lot I mean what did Trisha and Amber are on every Thursday on the
1:02:53
YouTube um jewel loom channel on the Facebook and the preparation I I mean I have the
1:02:59
utmost respect because it's been my life for 30 some years so I get it
1:03:05
um and and so it's it does take a a lot but it is a passion and a love and look
1:03:11
at those oh my heck I can't even so stinking cute
1:03:17
and you know the fun thing too is you could actually use the tassel maker to make tassels and have it off of that
1:03:24
yeah I'm screaming over here uh-huh oh my goodness
1:03:30
it needs a colorful phrase yeah absolutely
1:03:36
yes and I'm making my own tassels um I really really dig making my own
1:03:43
yeah and you know there are definitely tassel makers out there my girlfriend um Patty paddy whack from aleene's back
1:03:50
in the day she actually has um a tassel making system for
1:03:57
all kinds of sizes and so I thought well you know I'm just going to do this little one for you know little bits and
1:04:04
pieces but tassels are fun and it is awesome to be able to make them out of the materials that you know that you
1:04:11
love and that you have on hand Joan do you want to bring me back in bring Danielle and I back in
1:04:18
because I'm not touching anything I don't know
1:04:25
okay I'm gonna back up a little because okay so this is where it started oh
1:04:32
is that so funny that's beautiful so you know we weren't
1:04:38
far off right so two three years later so this is
1:04:44
actually how the goddess Loom had started um and she was flat and so we actually
1:04:51
made a handful of these and then this is not what ended up going live and so it's
1:04:57
fun to see how you made it work because now I feel more comfortable putting putting these in the shop
1:05:04
um uh and people will be able to you know kind of see that it's the same similar
1:05:11
type of structure or what have you so um yeah and then yeah the way that you um
1:05:18
the way that you set it up will be the same right you can just use like any kind of you would just need something a
1:05:23
little bit longer than maybe like a tube maybe like a yeah I don't know if like that dowel lady I would be
1:05:29
okay yeah I'm I'm sure the one the moment Robert sees all of this he's
1:05:34
probably already got something he's probably got something already I can't wait to see you yeah yeah well I mean
1:05:40
he's Brill he's brilliant he's just absolutely I love that he could take my crazy mind and and you know help birth
1:05:47
the end result so but um it's just unbelievable amounts of gratitude for
1:05:54
you and thank you so very very very much and everything that you've done on the
1:06:00
silver silk loom as well I know that Neely um yeah and you know so it just it feels

1:07:43
Sam on the um what I believe is the seventh uh October yeah okay okay my mind and
1:07:52
all the dates they're they're running like everywhere I might try to do my own little pop-on on the first on a Saturday
1:07:58
I first yeah okay I was just gonna just do like a Peyote Stitch thing I don't know
1:08:05
just see what yeah okay well I'll have to if you published that one I'll try to pee in so that I can maybe learn yeah so
1:08:13
I'm just now learning to do um streamer with myself like I've never figured out how to schedule and stuff so I'm still
1:08:18
learning and then I need to make sure oh yeah he does where he does a pretty like how to do a lot of things
1:08:23
yeah all that I know I know I obviously that's not my my in my wheelhouse to do
1:08:29
that because I just let Joan and everybody else because it's like yeah but there are
1:08:36
certain things
1:08:45
he's got the advantage well make sure that you squeeze Sam I
1:08:51
will say that the live that the three of us did during bead Fest was all-time favorite like so it was so much fun it
1:08:58
was so much fun to be there yeah and it just really shut you know I I y'all we
1:09:05
had a table that was like probably a 24 inch round if that and all the makeshift
1:09:12
things that we had to find to hold the camera and to you know and it just was probably
1:09:18
it really I think it was really a lot of fun for all of us because the three of us are pro you know we're always trying
1:09:23
to make sure that everything's so dialed in and and we just kind of got to be like whatever and then it was perfect it
1:09:30
was so good it was so good so well my birthday is October 5th so I feel like
1:09:36
I'm going to be sandwiched in between you and Sam on the first and the seventh
1:09:42
I'll be there for that yeah yeah so tell him I said hi and that I
1:09:49
definitely enjoyed our time together he is one busy guy so for sure yeah yeah yeah I will
1:09:54
definitely tell him yeah I think you guys should you have a collab planned right you were talking about it maybe something yeah we haven't
1:10:01
gotten anything down yet Winky Winky oh Amber's birthday is
1:10:08
oh good Amber's birthday no somebody's saying Amber's birthday's on the 5th too how why is that not like in my brain
1:10:15
well happy birthday Amber oh my God okay no now we have to have a party now we
1:10:22
have to have a party now it just got yeah yeah all the all the October babies they always
1:10:28
find each other like I just feel like October babies somehow always find each other it's weird I don't know what was
1:10:35
going on but um yeah so no hopefully Sam and I will get something on the books and we'll have
1:10:41
fun I do have um soft flexes coming up on October 12th so that's yeah so we're going to be
1:10:48
playing with the small wisdom Warrior um during that yeah so I'm super stoked
1:10:54
about that and then I'm doing a thing with beads of courage in November and I
1:11:00
made them something very special and I designed a loom have you all seen that
1:11:06
William
1:11:12
with you I'm doing the same thing again the bracelet
1:11:17
I'm Visa courage isn't it the designing of the Stars One I think it's the third
1:11:22
is it the third oh it might be something different or maybe I should look at my calendar anyway I designed this loom for
1:11:28
winter camp for Jesse James oh for Jesse James beads oh yeah I was about to ask about that that one is so cool yeah so
1:11:36
I'll be teaching that with the bracelet um that is where she at she looks like a
1:11:42
headpiece she's very wild and funky but it can be trimmed up and more conservative
1:11:49
no no I love it just like it I'm like okay snip snip
1:11:55
but I like you know it's just fun so what size is that Lou um
1:12:01
oh shucks uh she is she is if I'm not mistaken Maybe
1:12:10
eight or nine inches long um hermy and uh about two inches wide so the intention
1:12:17
with the Jesse James Loom uh uh was to
1:12:22
make bracelets basically and so you you can only weave on the top but
1:12:29
what you can do is you can add this more sorry ribbon to the warps to
1:12:35
make it longer and that's what I did on the other piece over there so um yeah so
1:12:41
there is a you know a technique to do that whoops if you have a bigger wrist so but just the reindeer kills me I
1:12:48
can't that's so so cute so cute so we got that going on and then
1:12:55
Neely and I are supposed to regroup again too in November I think we're all just going to be everywhere and we need
1:13:00
like one room we need like a um not a smoke room what are those roofs called that's the
1:13:08
only thing because what is that called it's like a conference room you know like yeah like that sounds too boring
1:13:15
right but it's not a smoke room but where people go and there's like a lot of leather furniture I guess they are
1:13:21
smooth oh we need a bougie Lounge we need a bougie Lounge
1:13:26
we need a bougie Lounge yeah yeah oh I'm gonna figure out how we
1:13:32
can have that wouldn't that be fun you can have up to 10 pizzas yeah
1:13:39
so Nila needs to design some um bougie artwork yes he does
1:13:45
tell him he'll do something great he always yeah Joan is cracking up in the background man I don't even know what I
1:13:50
wish I could see in her head I want to see each other I know Joe why don't you come on really
1:13:56
quick to say goodbye [Music]
1:14:02
when you get that look it's like the ginger Joan Vibe where all I can think
1:14:09
of is that the two of you are like somehow naughty
1:14:17
oh Patty says a back room that sounds that sounds even like yeah like couple
1:14:23
knocks on the door you know yeah yeah a break room that's cute
1:14:30
you know why I said smoke room is because at bead Fest we went to this one little restaurant across from the hotel
1:14:36
and there was a smoke room oh wow yeah and people go there to smoke I don't
1:14:42
know if it was a hookah hookah is that right oh it's not puka right it's Hookah Hookah I don't do that so I don't know a
1:14:50
hookah bar a hookah bar yeah yeah
1:14:56
I don't know if one of those in downtown there a secret a secret secrecy seed bead
1:15:03
Society I like that's that sounds like the whole like Academia theme a hookah lounge
1:15:10
Nicole knows anyway whatever it is it'll be amazing
1:15:16
so we'll we'll have to figure out how to do that that would be a lot of fun kind of like after you know how like you
1:15:21
go shopping all day during the holidays and then you're super wiped out and you just want to sit down have a good glass
1:15:27
