3:35
this loom and what i'm going to share with you today seriously i think i walked back here at
3:41
a like i'm going to say 11 30 or 1 o'clock my time and i thought i knew what i was
3:47
going to do and then i looked around and i was like oh yeah i want to do something totally
3:52
different i feel like you always bring your a game to your design work first and foremost
3:58
but whenever it comes to the silver silk stuff it's always like from the left and something that i would never ever think
4:03
of um i was very just surprised by the last project that you did and um i feel like
4:10
i if i i hope i did i was supposed to send you some end caps did i get around to doing you i got a package of the silver
4:18
chain and the and silver end caps and my intention was originally
4:25
to use that no that's okay i just i wanted to make
4:31
sure that i didn't miss that because i remember you wanting to finish up that necklace design with the
4:38
where was it like this big of a yes there it is yes
4:43
you know this originally was going to be a bracelet and then as we progressed in the la you know the last time we were
4:49
together it just turned into like this cool opportunity and um whoops there we go oh god look it
4:56
looks like his nose get over there
5:02
that's amazing i love it even more now oh my gosh that's so
5:09
you have to wear that way somebody needs to take a still shot of this
5:16
i mean so funny later that's hilarious is that hilarious
5:22
oh i love that so much so so cute but yeah it's been so fun i
5:28
mean just from the first time that i literally accidentally
5:35
played with the silver silk on the original fiber loom
5:40
and you know we were just like what um you know the the the grid the teeth
5:46
um fit you know fit the silk so well and then you know to just watch
5:52
everything progress and i i'm still love i still love this idea you know where you where you do traditional weaving and
5:59
you do the three warps i mean that this is just definitely one of my favs but today i'm super stoked
6:07
about what we're gonna do because um yeah but yeah cool well i
6:14
consider all of those feelings and um everything that you just said because i
6:19
am delighted to be part of the silver silk yeah like loom family and that we
6:25
are able to collaborate in the best way uh our products essentially complement each
6:31
other just like we do yeah in fact we're in grey tones and who knew
6:37
and i've got a circle graphic on my shirt and so do i and so do you so is
6:43
that weird see we're like totally i'm saying but yours is way more fun than mine i will say
6:50
well i was going to change until you said you liked it because i thought maybe it was too casual no i are you
6:55
kidding me plus like the nose jewelry just makes it i know i know it was
7:01
[Laughter] all right well um why don't i pan over
7:07
to your camera and we can talk about maybe what project you want to show us yeah i think i'm going to scooch that
7:14
part out for a sec because i'll start with the warps um so i've got the silver silk loom in front of me and i just want
7:21
to kind of give some some idea um the loom is in front of my
7:26
body so when my pointers are pointing to my my smiley face that's my body
7:32
and um this is my right hand and this is my left hand it looks like i
7:40
don't know if um things are moving a little slow there but anywho um and then i've got the
7:48
silver silk chain and i have a piece of sorry ribbon
7:53
okay so what i'm going to do first is i'm going to
7:59
warp with the
8:05
ribbon first and i'm just going to create a little i'm going to do a little knot in the air
8:11
here not necessarily a knot but a loop to get started because what i want to do is attach that
8:17
to my tooth up here and so
8:23
actually let me let me just undo this hold on because this is a little wider so let's twist it
8:29
a little just to kind of help it slide in and full disclaimer marlon
8:35
brando i i try to get him to not be back here but he is and he's snoring away
8:40
so that's my favorite oh my gosh thank god everyone loves him because
8:46
it's so stinking funny i've been trying to tape these videos for my courses and of course he's back
8:52
there you know sawing logs okay so i'm like well people are just going
8:57
to have to understand so okay so i've got that tied let me just show you here i've got that tied
9:05
oh okay yeah just gonna tie your sorry ribbon to um the top tooth up here whoops let me
9:12
get that in the camera and then we're gonna bring it down onto that second groove okay
9:21
so the second one and then we're gonna pull that towards um our body and then we're gonna wrap it
9:28
around the back tooth and we're gonna come back up
9:34
and bring this back up to the top wrap it around the tooth
9:40
it helps if you twist that um this uh the ribbon because
9:46
see how much easier it makes it to go into the grooves oh sorry i need to here you know what
9:52
let me see something hold on there we go
9:57
yes boom bada bing okay and then what i'm gonna do is i need to tie off
10:04
um this can be a little more fun than than i want to have right now on camera so i'm just going to
10:10
secure it i'm just like weaving it in and out
10:15
to secure it and then it'll be all well all will be well in silver silk land
10:21
okay so now what i'm going to do is i'm going to take the silver silk and i'm going to
10:26
take one of the jewel loom wood buttons and i'm going to work with the daisy because i want this to be like a
10:34
boho type bracelet and i'm going to slide that down and
10:40
then i'm going to take the other end
10:49
so one end will be longer because i just want to trim one piece so let's just see here if this
10:54
is correct i'm going to put one over here and just bear with me as i do this
11:00
because yep that's long enough okay so let me just show you so
11:07
i want to cut it so i just i want to have one continuous piece of silver silk left i don't want to have two in case i
11:13
want to do something with a longer piece does that make sense yeah you know what i mean i don't want to
11:20
just center the button you're getting more mileage out of it just i'm getting yes
11:26
so then i'm going to take the silver silk okay and hold on i'm going to turn
11:31
around here okay so i have the silver silk laying in
11:37
the first groove next to the sorry ribbon
11:43
and then i have it in what is that one two three four the fifth groove
11:48
okay so basically the silver silk is going to embrace
11:54
you know outline the ribbon okay so i'm going to turn that around
12:01
and i want to make sure i'd like to get the button so it's really nice and taut up against the grooves
12:07
so i'm just going to readjust and i'm just very carefully scooching
12:13
the sorry ribbon i mean the silver silk down into the grooves and that does not look even so i'm gonna
12:21
correct myself here
12:26
okay that looks why does that still look a little off hold on bear with me guys i want to make
12:32
sure it's right okay
12:37
all right cool so that's better and then i'm going to bring this end down
12:42
and i'm going to pull on it so that it's nice and snug into the bottom groove
12:49
and then i'm going to take the other end and do the same thing okay
12:55
so and then what i can do is i can bring in my cutters and i can
13:03
trim that piece off and so these are my warps
13:09
all right really quick um i've got a tip that i just now performed um
13:15
i could show you okay real quick for the yeah with silver silk so i had mine i'm gonna
13:21
i'm i'm i'm gonna be the boring one today [Laughter] and sadly i don't have any um cool boho
13:29
stuff at my desk i might have some in my stash somewhere but i'm just going to work with the silver
13:34
pearlesque chain today and do some of these round beads in between yes keeping it very simple
13:40
right so what i did at the ends though is i ran a piece of wire
13:45
through my silver silk and that sort of helps to keep it nice and taut because that's working against this backboard
13:52
here as you can see it's in the group so i did it on both sides love it and you know what so if you're not using
13:59
a button up there to to do that to do what i did then i love that it's like a clamp
14:06
yeah yeah it really is and then i don't have to worry about it sagging or anything like that later down the road
14:11
but even whenever i take it off and i've got all my beaded design stuff together
14:17
together and then just trim it and then apply your end cap and then slightly yes you did you know what
14:24
that's so smart i love that no really we should i want to definitely um
14:31
uh i'll do some pictures and add that to the um or i'll just add this link yeah the
14:37
library yes yes because that's so good that's so good anyway okay okay back
14:43
over to you okay well thank you
14:49
yes okay so yeah so what i was saying basically is you know now my loom is warped i you can
14:56
see i've got the silver silk here off to the side um it's embracing
15:01
this beautiful sorry ribbon and i've got the button
15:06
and so now i can start to i mean not for nothing this is kind of cool just the way it is
15:13
like seriously if you wanted to finish this um it would probably be pretty cool but
15:19
what we're gonna do is obviously go big or go home so right i'm gonna move this one on over so that i can bring the one
15:26
that i started earlier and this is what i've got going on with this
15:33
one so i used a different color um ribbon and you can see that i started to
15:41
weave right so now the connection of the silver silk
15:48
chain and the ribbon are all tied in together okay and i still want to make sure that
15:56
the the silver silk is a part of my design so i'm going to leave it exposed and
16:02
then i'm going to do a combination of weaving and then adding eight millimeter fire polished beads um
16:09
into the weave as well so let's see i'm gonna grab
16:16
a piece of sari ribbon here and actually i want a contrasting color
16:22
hold on i'm going to grab some of this cool looking lime greens you um carry
16:28
the sorry silk in your store i do so it it's um they're five yard
16:33
sections that i put together for you and um it's five dollars so
16:40
go wild that is a great deal you guys that's
16:45
such a good deal you must take advantage of it yeah feel free to additional texture to your design work
16:52
um i'm all about so you know you could probably for giggles maybe i don't know it could be
16:58
tight but you know we we did this adorable little needle for you with um the first little
17:06
loom thing back gosh what was it a year ago now i guess um you could thread
17:12
your needle um if you had a bigger jewel loom wood needle you certainly could use
17:17
that but i just was using my hands so i'm going to take this and i'm going
17:23
to come under so first of all let me just see something here i'm going to bring in a bracelet i've
17:29
made and that's going to be part of my length so this is what i've got going on
17:38
trying to lay it out so i know i'm going to want some hair in the middle and i know i'm going to want some down
17:44
here okay so i'm going to come here and by all means you don't have to be
17:51
symmetrical or perfect you do what you want to do wherever it's calling to you
17:57
i just want to show you what i'm doing so i'm just coming under
18:02
um um so yeah under over so i'm back under and now
18:08
over and then i'm gonna pull see but oh that's so cool i want that on the top somewhere okay hold on
18:17
i'm gonna cut this where are you
18:26
okay so and sometimes i'll just give it like a little twist
18:32
and then we're going to bring this in so i'm going to come over the silver silk
18:40
under over under
18:45
and out and i'm just going to squish it here
18:52
oh and then i want to make sure let's see how am i going to get this one i'm going to have to play with that okay
18:58
under doing a lot of talking to myself here sorry you're good i'm also trying to configure
19:04
my design here um okay so i totally get it but i i love just watching your process and uh
19:12
these colors and pictures that you're mixing up is pretty fascinating well and i want um this really cool piece here to
19:20
like be a part of it almost looks like silver silk look at how cool that is it's silver silk and
19:27
sorry ribbon awesome oh look at oh i did it okay cool thank you
19:33
i love it yeah so i wanted this really cool fun whatever you know because sorry ribbon
19:40
is just you know it's all this beautiful yumminess that um
19:45
you know these beautiful folks over i know most of it is all imported from india which you i
19:52
love because oh look at oh my heck i'm going to bring this up to the do you can you i know i'm getting myself all
19:59
excited it's hard to tell but do you see what's happening it's like part of the silver
20:05
the sorry ribbon do you get it so you like when you're weaving you're just kind of you're twisting and you
20:12
want to showcase these super cool pieces that that are there it's just like look at this one too see in the warp look at all
20:20
this yumminess oh my gosh this is going to be so cool when it's done all right so i'm going to
20:25
go one more time so i'm coming so you're leaving um
20:31
or well i guess in terms of your overall design because you had mentioned putting in beads too so are you thinking like
20:38
doing um a little cluster of the sari silk and then having
20:43
like beads dispersed in between the spacing right so i'm probably going to come up in here and do like i might do a three
20:49
pack like three rows yes yes so really the reason why is because i
20:57
need to make the connection between the silver silk and the sorry
21:02
ribbon so that it's one unit you know what i mean
21:07
um because we don't want it to like fall apart right
21:13
so um and then what i also want to do is i want to make a knot over here
21:20
so where am i at i'm going to come under
21:27
and i'm going to feed this through here yeah i love it okay and then i'm just
21:34
going to tie it and i love that that's going to totally probably end up being a part of my design because i love all this fun
21:42
i do too the raw ends really add to that bohemian flavor yeah pretty nice and then
21:52
uh oh i think we lost you on your phone so i'm gonna flip it over to mine real quick oh you're back i think we lost you
22:00
there for a second be unmute and jules you may have to unmute your
22:05
mic but in the meantime um let me show you what i've been working on
22:12
and that is this well not as exciting as jules's project
22:18
but uh i do did i get lost yes but you're back
22:23
um i think your phone you're no you're good with your phone if you want to unmute your laptop and then you unmute
22:31
um your phone so yeah there you go and then unmute this
22:37
i can do that that's all right
22:42
keep going here um yeah i have actually sewn through the
22:47
silver silk and instead of on the edges there so what i'm doing is i'm passing it through the silver silk and then i'm
22:53
going up through the silver silk with my needle and i'm going about three of the ball
22:59
chain beads up and kind of just exiting out at the nearest knit
23:06
as such i'm pulling my thread all the way
23:11
through and i'm using um wildfire from beetle on and this is their white color
23:17
and i'm using the white because it's just such a great blend um for the per
23:22
less chain and silver it just like it literally just disappears and it's fabulous
23:29
so let's keep going here
23:35
oh you know what i need to put my bead down and before i pass it through so i'm going to find the hole
23:42
and then i'm just going to go through the captur or the pearlescent chain through the bead and then through the
23:47
other side of the chain just like that so it really can't get any more simpler than that i'd say probably the most challenging
23:54
part of what i'm doing is making it go through the silver silk each time
24:00
so again i'm just going to pick it up from its side go up through three of the beads
24:06
or as you know close to as i can and then just exit back out of the chain
24:13
and everything again is held in place because i've got my little stoppers on each end which just work fabulously
24:20
very nifty little trick nifty and thrifty i guess if you're um
24:26
wanting to use up some of those wire scraps so
24:34
this and i'll lay this down and i'll just go straight across
24:45
as such one thing i did want to show you guys um because i'm in love with this style so
24:52
much i just love how everything is just concealed and hidden within the silver silk itself
24:57
and um the fact that i'm able to kind of float beads in between it is i sort of made the centerpiece for a
25:03
necklace with with using the the loom and um i was getting ready to make some examples
25:08
for the website but i i made this gigantic tassel that's going to sit um which i don't have a
25:14
picture of me up but that's all right um it's supposed to sit sort of in the middle of your chest and then um i'll
25:20
have some beads that kind of come out through the ends here and then the top part here will also have a
25:26
secondary necklace so um i'll just leave you with a teaser on that one at least but uh i did want to
25:32
say that it was such a joy to just be able to sew through multiple chains um
25:37
all at once and the jewel loom made that possible so um
25:43
here we go oh jules i can't unmute you you're gonna you may have to do that yourself
25:50
okay did i did we oh you're did i lose my overhead no your
25:56
phone is still there i would unmute that and then mute your laptop
26:06
um no can you your your overhead isn't unmuting so you
26:13
may have to exit the uh stream yard and then come back in to for that okay how about now
26:20
yes it works now there we go we'll come back to you
26:26
there we go there's always something that technology isn't there those uh you know it just
26:32
thing so i'm kind of being i mean i just can't with that piece like i don't want to
26:39
lose it so i might just do something cool like where i overlap it
26:47
see that idea but then up so much is that like well okay i'm
26:52
gonna come down okay yeah there you go that's okay all right thank you
26:58
i the cool thing about these types of projects i have found is like you can
27:03
you don't have to um you don't have to finish the thought right so
27:10
like i don't have to make this decision right now i don't have to do anything i can
27:15
literally just say okay you know what let's tuck that under and come back
27:21
so that's what i'm going to do okay and then that's what i have to do with a lot of my designs too is i gotta like
27:27
put it on rest and then re-address it like the next day or something yeah i just i i i think this is what i
27:35
want to do but i'm going to add some beads now and see what actually speaks to me so i'm going
27:41
to pick up some of these gorgeous
27:46
oh no it went back out again but that's okay i can go back to my overhead view
27:53
and um oh you're back again but you may have to unmute
27:59
don't know what's going on there but that's okay i'm just chugging along with my design you guys like
28:05
this is probably why i prefer this sort of weaving method it's because it's so easy
28:10
oh you're back yay i'm back but let me my camera is um hold on i don't know what's going on
28:16
that's all right i'm trying to get it to go there we go
28:22
i accidentally move it around my area there seriously
28:27
all right you know what i'm flying today um jules is working from top to bottom and
28:32
i prefer working because after i've kind of figured out my working style because there really isn't a right or wrong way
28:39
it just depends on what's most comfortable for you and what gets you the results that you're wanting so i prefer to work from the bottom to top
28:46
so i'm actually weaving up okay so we can come back to your
28:51
overhead yeah let's see okay can you hear me yeah you're good okay so i'm just gonna
28:59
um for giggles do a little i could have tied but i don't want that
29:05
look for the the silk so i'm gonna just do this really quick here
29:12
and without getting my needle caught in the fabric
29:18
okay um before i got cut off i was gonna say
29:26
i don't know if everybody realizes but we're including a six pack of the jewel loom needles
29:33
and um when you buy your silver silk loom
29:38
and you know that's a huge value so you know these guys retail for like six bucks and you get six of them
29:45
i'm obsessed over the needles yeah that's best over them they are so they come with yeah and they come with so
29:51
wow that's quite a deal they make weaving and sewing so so easy
29:57
yes so i'm gonna pick up three eight millimeter fire polish beads
30:06
oh god these are so gorgeous mm-hmm i love all the beads that you carry they
30:12
are just immaculate and add so much sparkle and design to whatever it is that you're
30:18
making yeah i really um am very
30:25
uh what's the word i guess i buy on purpose
30:32
or i buy with purpose buy with purpose yeah right which is quite the opposite of what i feel like a lot of us do um
30:38
just when we're retail shopping for beads and enjoy the hoarding which is i think part of this week's theme for
30:46
because i think i've mentioned yeah to be hoarding in every video that i've done up to this point
30:51
i um
30:57
i may have to do something different here and if i'm not mistaken i think i did
31:02
this when i did the interweave article so instead of sewing normally
31:11
yeah okay so what does this mean for me
31:18
thinking processing but sometimes it's part of the process
31:23
right it's uh trying to resolve some design
31:28
stuff that happens um because i kind of want these guys to be more on top
31:35
so what's that going to mean that's going to mean i'm going to take the needle i'm going to come under i'm going to have to push their little holes
31:41
underneath the silver silk and then i'm on top of the sorry ribbon
31:49
and then i'm back under everyone's just like oh my heck what the world is she doing right now
31:55
oh no i think they're right we're all no no
32:04
what is she gonna do yeah what is she what will she do because um
32:11
yeah it's kind of yeah so i'm kind of like decided to sew
32:19
on top of the ribbon so that they don't the beads don't get smushed so it's just a different here i'm coming
32:26
up to the camera y'all see so instead of
32:31
fitting the beads in between um the warps i'm
32:37
using the sorry ribbon as a bed and then i'm
32:44
using the silver silk to anchor
32:50
um so i'm kind of digging this i say go for it
32:56
yeah i'm in who's gonna tell on me i mean i won't but you have to keep all
33:03
my secrets too well you and everyone else watching out there who's gonna tell me i'm wrong
33:11
nobody should ever lose you yeah no i love this idea
33:18
and i i will have to go back i think i did something similar in a in a project on interweave one time
33:26
and you can also give me an idea for another class title loving on the loom
33:33
that sounds like a viral video because when i did the love cuff oh my god
33:40
i love it i think people thought it was something else i'm not even kidding
33:46
oh my god yeah so you know what else i want to do is trisha did this really cool thing where
33:52
she took the touhou seed beads and she like did the loop-de-doopties on the side
33:58
so you could you could totally take that technique that um she did and add that
34:04
add that to because like i think what would be cool is it will help to cover up um the wire the wildfire
34:12
so you could do okay you know what i'm saying yeah okay so i think i want i think i want i
34:20
like what's happening here so i'm actually gonna do one more thing that's just totally weird um
34:26
i don't think anything you're doing is weird it's just uh you're you're making it true to a boho
34:32
style and many of us i will say are uncomfortable or don't know how to do that so they're getting a total like
34:38
inside of what jules brain where's my brain where's joel's brain where's joel's
34:43
brain tonight where's her brain today yeah it's kind of it's interesting because it's like a free formed like
34:50
no rules kind of um thing here except for that
34:59
okay these guys need to be i'm transferring to my left hand now
35:08
you know i think we've done a lot of projects where where it was very precise and this is
35:14
not so precise it's very free-formed and very a lot of love
35:22
yeah and i haven't even like i haven't even attempted it yet because i'm gonna flip over to mine
35:29
i mean i'm just chugging right along because this one's i this one does not require as much thought process
35:36
i know it's so funny sometimes um pretty straightforward but it is not as
35:44
intricately detailed as yours yeah okay but i love that i love that are those
35:50
are those quartz beads yeah they're just rose quartz gorgeous and a half millimeter or
35:55
something holy guacamole but it was one of those because you've kind of standardized the pegs
36:01
of where the pegs sit um for the warps the little grooves so it
36:06
was nice to have like beads that are you know available
36:12
everywhere that yeah that i can use for the loom and in between my silver silk
36:17
yeah it's pretty fascinating how this came together and you know major props to rob robert who has just
36:24
who is like design engineer extraordinaire hey robert i want to do this and um the
36:31
teeth and the grids and the everything and blah blah blah and yeah can you just do that really quick can you do it
36:38
really quick
36:47
oh my gosh that's fascinating yeah fun times
36:53
all right this is really you know i i love how the silver silk is acting as um
36:59
as this line of opportunity for these beads to lay on
37:04
the sorry ribbon it's so stinking cool oh yeah let's let's pan over back to yours
37:10
yeah so here i'm just going to bring this up to the camera oh wow so right ribbon is really like the
37:17
backdrop and then it's really the backdrop that's fast what size were those beads
37:22
again these are eights they're eight eight millimeter fire polish and
37:27
like how they just puzzle together and they're so beautiful yeah yeah they're just they're literally
37:33
laying on sorry ribbon and then i'm going through them and i'm going
37:40
under the silver silk and then back up and through the beads so i'm never i'm not attaching or sewing through the
37:47
sorry ribbon only around the silk sorry around the silver silk and then
37:53
through the bead so it's just fun
37:59
i love it let me just turn sideways a little
38:06
yeah very cool i like it color uh because i don't even remember what i've been sending you
38:12
what and um what color is that is it seafoam is it does it have the it doesn't have
38:19
the rainbow tinsel in it right i'm not seeing any rainbow tints okay so then that's uh shoreline which has the
38:25
gun shoreline gunmetal ball chain with the seafoam color on top so that's cool
38:32
yeah i love that color combination too but i'm all about like
38:37
the jewel tones and you know those rich like really vibrant colors i think
38:43
they're vibrant personally um i went out on a limited pastel today so
38:50
it's kind of yeah that's my usual cup of tea but um hey
38:56
that's you're here here we're just we're just making this happen
39:02
i think it's good for people just to see like there's different things you can do you don't have to um always
39:09
stay within you know the guidelines and i
39:14
what i'm loving about this too you know what just came to my mind is that um we've got a lot of people sometimes who
39:20
have a hard time with their hands and um i am fine finding this to be really easy
39:28
actually and my because i have my own issues with my
39:34
um having done jewelry forever and so it's not hurting my hands it's not um
39:42
freaking out my mind so
39:48
so yeah so i'm just coming under the silver silk and then i'm going through the bead
39:58
again here whoops come on guy where are you
40:03
and i think it's also helpful because we're not having to make simple loops or you know not working with carrier
40:08
necessarily um it's it's all held together on a tool and so it takes the pressure off the
40:16
hands yeah you having you know to create something yeah it's nice except for now i'm making
40:22
it look really hard because i can't see basically so much dark you're going on
40:28
there geez though okay there we go there we go all right life is good
40:34
under holy cow i don't have any lighting on because i'm trying to keep the shadows away
40:41
okay fantastic
40:50
okay we'll pan over i'm here in a short bit back to mine because
40:56
yeah pretty much got the length of a bracelet done and i feel like because i was so so
41:02
satisfied with the last class i did with you um yeah with making a bracelet and i just wanted that same feeling back
41:09
oh yeah we did that last video was so good
41:14
it was i think it's the one that i actually um added to the shopify store
41:20
on the um silver silk page because to help people understand what they
41:25
could do with the loom yeah for sure and i think our projects just keep getting better and better but
41:32
yeah that's over on my youtube um and i think it's on yours too jules
41:38
our last class oh yeah you must subscribe to both of our channels if you haven't already and come
41:44
and find those videos that we do
41:50
yeah um yeah and we've done so many silver silk um videos the girls
41:57
between tricia and amber myself and you i feel like this loom has
42:03
been loved on big time good i'm so glad to hear i'm so happy yeah
42:11
i'm telling you loving on the loom
42:16
it's gonna be it needs to be a thing if it isn't already well and here's a little funny not a
42:22
funny but um you do drive through oklahoma when you're on your way to tennessee correct
42:29
um i suppose yeah oh wait because you'd be coming from california right yeah
42:35
yes i mean if you were driving then theoretically yes yeah so there's
42:41
a possibility in the works oh so okay okay
42:47
i'm just saying about that later yes yeah i want to know the deeds [Laughter]
42:56
okay so i think i like threes because i don't want to hide i can always go back and do loops if i
43:03
want to but um so i'm gonna come up through here and
43:09
try to hide hide my knot
43:16
oh my gosh i have so much going on here come over here little guy
43:22
i love the look that you're accomplishing right now the um
43:28
just the amount of textures and colors it's so like joyful
43:35
yeah i'm okay so i went on a killer hike yesterday killer
43:40
hike and um it really opened up a lot for me so
43:47
i um yeah i feel you know there's a sense of
43:52
of happiness inside which is good i think i was speaking to joan about
43:58
this a while ago but like um because she likes to go on walks and stuff and i do
44:03
too and there's just something nice about just like experiencing
44:08
just life happening and stuff as it is and like you're just kind of walking and doing your own thing but you just i feel
44:14
tired in a good way when i get back because like i'm yes you know two or three miles and like here i'm feeling
44:20
like i just did a thing right and then i don't know just being out of like my
44:25
office and out of my materials and you know the silver silk
44:31
inventory and all that stuff like just being physically away from it for a little while is definitely invigorating
44:37
and i can come back with some new inspiration yes and it just feels so good i um
44:44
so i we parked at the museum parking lot on main street in
44:51
ventura and we hiked up to the cross
44:57
oh wow and when we parked and my friend my girlfriend one of my bunko babes um i
45:04
said well what are we doing the cross is like way up there and i thought we were gonna
45:09
go park at the cross and then hike the botanical gardens and she's like no
45:15
we're gonna we're this is what we're doing and i'm i'm looking at her like you are out of your mind
45:21
and i'm gonna die because you know my lungs are still not 100 back and
45:26
but i you know we start i was like let's do this it's on
45:31
and um and so we climbed up the stairs and you have to i posted the video on my
45:37
giuliana jules page and uh man
45:42
it was amazing and i made it i had to stop a couple of times but i made it
45:49
that's amazing i'm so glad to hear that yeah and it sounds like a wonderful
45:54
journey and it's that you got to actually do it without any anything happening is also right
46:01
wildly nothing didn't die you didn't die and you know because i still need my baby mama
46:07
i made the show you made the show yes it's so
46:18
so i'm just uh i'm just securing up my hands i've got a gigantic loop here which i guess i could do something with
46:24
but oh yeah i don't know if i will because i again i just wanted that instant gratification
46:30
of making uh that is gorgeous oh my gosh
46:36
wow and sometimes that's like that's okay you know it's just it's just a little
46:41
thing it's so pretty okay thank you so i'm just uh i'm using my wire here that
46:47
i used at the ends to gather up my silver silk just by passing through it this is a 20 gauge wire which might
46:55
be a little bit heavy but it's just sturdy enough to hold and to have that
47:00
elasticity to keep kind of stuff from pulling too far in any given direction
47:07
but i'm just gonna clip it off with a couple beads ahead of the wire that i just passed
47:14
uh and then i'm going to kind of gather them up and i just used a triple strand end cap because it needs that gap
47:21
and space in between even if i don't have anything in the channel and then i just open it up with my chain
47:27
nose pliers and then just kind of stuck it in and crimped it with some white nose
47:34
pliers and then before i do a
47:40
a very hard crimp uh with my pliers i remove that
47:45
piece of wire and then i've got essentially a finished little bracelet
47:51
that i just need to get a clasp for which i will do so i'm going to pan over back to you jewels
47:57
okay well i just secured up this middle part and i was
48:05
i can't that just came out really fun i love that
48:11
and yeah it's just going to be a fun um what is it called when you put a nice book a
48:17
tab uh take conversation piece is that conversation yes uh
48:22
yeah it's bespoke really because i've been using that word a lot lately oh
48:29
how are you announcing b e s o k e
48:38
um to describe jewelry pieces that are very much have a specific tailoring or
48:46
something like ultra special about it wow uniqueness
48:52
i'm just going through all of my stuff to find my clasps
48:57
yeah i just want to see here too
49:10
because pets is something that you do around the house right when you're just putting around the house when you're just putting around yeah where did that
49:16
come from you know i don't know i heard my co-workers and i was like where did those things come from right
49:23
little like isms and sayings yeah yeah
49:28
um look up hudson after this or if you guys out there are listening to our yeah well it's mind-boggling somebody google
49:35
it post it in the selkies group to see what putzing is yeah we can all read about it
49:42
i don't know
49:48
see this is taking my thought because i feel like it's gonna be
49:54
this is my length i should have probably if i was being totally this should have been
50:01
over a little bit but i don't want to hide that that's so cool so actually i might just do a bed of
50:08
beads yeah oh this is going to be stretching my um
50:16
my everything [Laughter] stretching my uh what is that called i don't
50:23
my desire to have things
50:28
perfect okay so i wonder
50:34
i'm almost thinking i'm going to use these other beads now
50:42
i'm just gonna sneak this in here
50:49
are we okay on time yes so we are
50:55
about 10 to 15 minutes away from from
51:02
uh our time okay i don't know what i was trying to say see i might change up the color here and
51:09
do something fun
51:15
i like vicky's definition and fussing is putzing
51:31
i think well not in it but like always tuning in for always she's much appreciated yes
51:37
very supportive
51:45
i'm also scrolling through some of these comments to see if there were anything oh yeah people were asking
51:55
oh marianne doy uh is this bringing out the flower child in me
52:01
i love that yeah that's such a good yeah yeah just the peace and calm and
52:26
now amber is on too i just now saw her name she's on youtube i love that flower i think she
52:32
might be talking about the either the sorry or your button because they're both flowery right
52:38
um yes so the button is a sunflower
52:44
and um sorry i'm trying to get through these
52:50
holes without killing myself here um yeah i think she maybe she's referring
52:57
to this fun piece on the sorry ribbon yeah
53:03
so uh we have a miss lorena who's asking um i'm curious to know how you're going
53:09
to end that bracelet um we won't i don't think we'll get to see it lorena but maybe you can talk through
53:15
how i'm gonna do exactly what you just did oh so i have to you know i have two ends
53:21
just like neely um you know i'm gonna end up sliding
53:27
everything off you know so um
53:33
i'll end up so this is secured whoops sorry this is secured right
53:38
these guys back here let me get back here a little i'm gonna tie
53:43
so like do some random tying and i'll have to tie
53:50
you know these guys together i'm probably gonna do more weaving down
53:56
here to finish so that it's the the everything comes together
54:01
but then i'm just going to do the same exact thing just did oh yeah we can
54:06
i could do this yeah so that's all exactly yeah just a little end cap at the end
54:13
and then i think uh yeah jules is going to find a spot between where she
54:18
waves the sorry silk and or beats and then just tie off the stuff in between and kind of seal it up that way which i
54:25
think will look perfect yeah um but i'm really like just joy
54:31
overjoyed really i got to finish something because typically in demos and i think i've also learned like what can
54:37
i make within an hour that's um that i i feel good about and that i
54:42
could show folks um that are kind of maybe even newer to the the silver silk loom um what they can
54:49
accomplish and [Laughter]
55:00
yeah we both finished our projects last time and um but this time i just kind of
55:07
wanted to play around with the idea of well can we mix it up a little yeah for sure
55:13
so but i'm not that far from being finished and i'm definitely going to show everybody in the end i'll make sure
55:20
that it's posted everywhere or joan will so leanne had a question about your loom
55:26
um yeah asking if we can do it well if it's possible to do a warp bracelet with
55:32
the room with the loom a wacom a warp bracelet a wrap bracelet not a
55:38
warp i'm sorry oh a wrap a wrap funny enough it's very funny that she asked that um because when i first started
55:46
messing around today i um was thinking about doing that and i was just gonna do
55:51
one singular um like you did one single row so my my answer is that
55:59
if you started to bead from the top and you went all the way to the bottom
56:06
and you warped all the way to the back of the loom and all the way to the end here you have
56:13
about 19 inches
56:19
um most wrap bracelets that i've seen are 21 at the bare minimum
56:27
what you could do for giggles and i'll have to try this is you could go from here
56:33
all the way around
56:38
you could okay you could go from here all the way and then you could slightly
56:46
come over here oh at an angle yeah at an angle and now you would have gone
56:52
three times so 19 plus another eight is going to be 27 which is
56:59
going to be long oh yeah um that might be four times for some risks
57:06
yeah i think it is it is overall quite possible whoops i mean the other factor
57:12
is if you if you did a chunk of it on here i can kind of illustrate this with my board
57:19
but if you if you if you bead beaded a chunk of this
57:24
and then you kind of scooched it off from one side and then put it back on with just you know extra
57:31
silver silk and kind of continue that design yeah um then you could go about it that way and you could just keep
57:38
going endlessly really right but it is designed which i love that
57:44
there are larger pegs on the back that they still accommodate for silver silk they're just
57:50
uh they're a wider taper so that you could put fiber or really anything else
57:55
you wanted that yeah macrame or or even just larger beads because i know the measurement and count is different
58:01
from what these smaller ones are so if you've got like gigantic beads that you are just in the mood to sew
58:08
um then that would be perfect for that side
58:14
yeah i would do it i would just try it definitely
58:19
yeah well um a couple other things here um kimberly smith over our friend from
58:26
facebook is asking if you could please uh post a photo after you're done because we're all curious to see how
58:32
it's gonna be ending uh how your how your journey how your story is going to end here
58:37
yeah yeah you and i both sister um so we're yeah i want to see how you
58:45
end it and stuff too so we're excited yeah definitely but we'll post it to the
58:50
silkies facebook group if you haven't joined up our with our facebook group yet you probably
58:56
should if you're wanting to see some silver silk inspiration that would be the place to go and jules for our
59:02
silkies out there you have your own group and tribe too don't you so we have the um jewelry making with
59:08
jewel loom group over on the facebook and um
59:13
yeah so just um come on over and join that and we'll we'll let you in and
59:21
um then i think we already talked about the youtubes
59:26
and so um between facebook and youtube i um mostly do all the education and
59:33
then of course there's the jewel loom school where there's um a lot of content on how
59:39
to use the looms it's also where the monthly workshops live and
59:47
but yeah there's there's a lot for the silver silk loom
59:52
so yeah awesome well it's good to know who can find you i
59:58
love your collection of sorry silk you can really guys i hope you'll go nuts and find
1:00:03
these on make something really cool out of it with uh with silver silk i think that
1:00:09
would be a dynamite if it's not weaving then certainly something bohemian chic realness with it uh yeah
1:00:16
it's absolutely stunning so i might even go shopping after this and uh
1:00:22
i'm curious to see what i can make out of that i actually i have other fibers but it's not sorry silk um
1:00:29
yeah that and i've never really worked with that but that's such a well and you can do that on this loom too so you know
1:00:35
you can definitely merge um see i keep finding all these pieces that are just too stinking cute
1:00:43
i can't i love that i just cannot hide them yeah there's um hold on one sec let
1:00:49
me see i still haven't taken this off the loom but i mean you could repeat this on
1:00:55
i mean in essence you can definitely do this on the silver silk yeah spotlight you one more time
1:01:02
here yeah oh wow can you hold it up to the camera yeah
1:01:08
that is so cool all right so you know you can take your silver
1:01:14
silk and it could be outline you know holding the piece together on the sides so that
1:01:21
you have that cool look and then you would just do the warps this is him so we could have done
1:01:27
him too and then weaved with all of our our yumminess
1:01:32
