hello hello I'm just like trying to figure out how to um maybe that'll work
so crazy kind of like this contraption thing how's everyone doing hi Maria hi Cynthia
hopefully you can hear me and everything as well where Joan and I were just um in the
background um chit chatting and talking about all kinds of creative things and business
and life and and all of that and so um MB is in the house
I said his name and he stopped snoring anyways right behind me snoring and so I
went silent there hoping that you could hear a big snort so anyway Marlon Brando is here and um
and so I wanted to let you know that the boo-boo Loom um is actually back on the site and so
while we were um while we were hunting through the
forest looking for wood oh my gosh it's so crazy
um I had taken a couple of the Looms off of the site uh just to kind of have the
wood for what we actually needed but the Booboo Loom coaster maker is
um back up on the website so if you've been looking for that um
it is there along with the many wisdom Warrior so that's the little six inch
not as small as the earrings but I think it's like three by six or something it's
it's like the wood version of the baby jewel loom so to speak so hey Theresa
that's fun to see your your um Facebook image is so noticeable
I always see it and I'm like oh that's her so here we are it's Thursday I'm
um I'm super excited I it's countdown one week until I go to the Czech
Republic and so I'm I'm kind of giddy I'm I think I actually think I'm a lot
Getty um because I just cannot believe that finally after six years I get to go on
this trip with chill Wiseman and
um our dear friend John uh and we're gonna meet up with 20 other amazing
humans from all over the world actually there are people um actually who are coming who are not
uh living in the States they're from Europe or other surrounding places and
then of course all the people we're going to meet at the factories and um John and I were talking about you know
how we're going to be landing in Prague which is really cool because the three of us are supposed to land at the same
time and so keep your fingers crossed that all that goes well and that we do do that and so
we'll be in Prague for the weekend and we do get a day to kind of like catch up
on our sleep or you know the time zone and all that good stuff so it's just going to be so much fun
um the if I'm not mistaken the creative Soul box um is officially uh sold out and so if
you're a creative Soul member um I think there's two of you who have not um your your payments haven't gone
through yet but you're you're secure so don't go cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs right now you're good I got you
um and then yeah I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure we're sold out so super excited
about that I'm going to be shopping for the April and May creative Soul box when
I'm there and um I have no idea what I got myself into
but I think it's going to be really really fun and my distributor assures me that the boxes are going to be full of
deliciousness and um it's just going to be so great but anyway so yeah so Neely
um and I what we were just on last week right Joan I think it was just last week we were on and we did that really
gorgeous um in fact I forgot to grab it let's see I have my kneelay box
I got melee in a box um so we did this gorgeous
um the pink double drilled gemstone bracelet with a
little seed beads and everything really gorgeous I just absolutely love that bracelet and so this week because we're
keeping the love for the silver silk product line and the silver silk loom this week I thought well you know what
I'm going to work with the Jasper which nelay was super stoked about because he loves that whole
um you know neutral palette so that anybody can enjoy you know wearing the bracelet and
um and even just from a fashion standpoint you know it's always great to have that neutral piece so that
um you can wear it with your neutrals
just that simple but here's the funny part needle had sent me a bag a bag of
tricks right right before um Tucson and we were supposed to meet
up in Tucson and then I didn't end up being able to go because you know my dad
was being um uh in his situation we just had a lot of personal stuff going on with that and so
I finally sat down and I opened up this bag and I was like what what is all this you know because
it's not it's not the chain the ball chain and it's absolutely delicious and
um anyway so I took a picture of it like Melee wanted us all this and so it is correct me if I'm wrong uh
Joan it's called it's pipe do we still say the word chain pipe chain yeah so
it's absolutely stunning and I mean look at this hot pink all right
this is all silver silks product line so you would be going to silversilkonline.com to secure
but this is look at that hot pink and look at the pink crazy I mean
seriously right are we talking October right I absolutely love love love this perfect
for the summer time um the other one that I just thought was so Gorge look at the white
yes I did hear that he has the leather we talked about that and I'm gonna have to get some from him but look at the how
light with the white um pipe Isn't that cool and I even
thought with this um well the white will go with anything but he's got like a gray
um the blue is even Gorge so anyway I'm slightly in love with all
all of this and I'm I was so embarrassed because I was like where'd all that come from and what is it
but Neely is such a such a gentleman he's like you know he totally understood we're just both so incredibly busy so
with that said um I also went a little cuckoo for Cocoa
Puffs on the gemstones if you go to the jewelloom.com home page all right
there are now 16 different double drilled gemstones and you are going to
lose your Cheerios when you see them all they are absolutely gorgeous I emailed
Ricky from Dakota stones and I was like listen what do you think about adding all the double drill gemstones to
the jewel loom website and we'll do pre-orders again just so like let people know what's out there so
there's a gorgeous Jade there's a cherry
there's rose quartz um there's a couple things I can't enunciate
um oh my heck the lapis you are going to do backflips over now sadly I don't have
any of these pieces with me um because again I just got this idea
like well why not we'll just put them up on the site we'll take pre-orders they're not going to ship until I get
back in may just so you know that um but that lapis is dreamy it is
absolutely dreamy I don't know if we can post a photo in the comments here on the
YouTubes or not we can't okay Jones heads going side to side we can't do that
um but yet the amazing eye oh my gosh yeah they're they're just so incredibly
beautiful and I just feel so blessed for all of us to have this relationship with
Dakota stones and to be able um to do this buying situation so again
I'm going to take orders on the gemstones probably through Monday night I I leave
Thursday I'd really like to secure the order no later than Wednesday which is
the 19th and then um I'll have them ship it so it gets back here
for I get back on the 4th of May so then if I take that weekend to
um you know to get all the orders together and out you know it's going to take a
couple you know you'll have like a couple weeks where you're waiting but if it's worth it it's worth it yes Melanie
the come Baba right is am I saying that right
anyway you have to go you have to go look at all these gemstones they're just absolutely gorgeous
um okay so with that said I'm gonna use
the gray pipe chain it's really at first
I was like oh is that going to work on the silver silk loom um but it's just flexible enough
to to do to to work with the grooves and I love it because
um I feel like it's going to be even more sturdy so I really like I really like
that idea I don't know why that's I don't know that we're gonna get that out of my head it just is what it is
okay so Joan I don't know if you want to bring maybe bring make that the big one
and make me the little one
okay so let's see what we got going on here we have a little more
whoops okay so what let me get these guys
here's we're going to be working with the Jasper these are just stunning I mean they're so pretty it's Matt Jasper
um they just have different Hues of you know this really gorgeous pale
like a mavi lavender and then they kind of go into a darker shade and they're
just stunning um and then I'm also going to be using the little
um finding of niele's and I'm going to be weaving with 26 gauge artistic wire and
so I'm going to bring the silver silk loom turn what is going on let's see I
might need to just bear with me one second here foreign
there we go a little bit better okay okay so what I'm going to do is I'm
taking one of the jewel loom buttons that comes in the designer pack
and at first I was like oh I don't know if that's the one I want to use
but then I put the um plaid resin over it
and so now it's really nice and shiny can you kind of see that it's got like there we go it's got some nice dimension
so this is the one with the shells and the starfish and so I really liked that I thought it
would be really pretty so I'm going to take the pipe chain and I'm going through that hole
and I want to give myself enough room down here on the bottom
and that should be good and then I'm just very carefully putting that into the grooves all right you want to be
careful when you are using the pipe chain or the ball chain
um because it's this is wood you know and and so you just want to be conscious of how you're doing that
um I'm going to then take the other end of
whoopsie and then we're going to very carefully put that into
you can almost hear it lock into place and then let's straighten this out
and we're going to bring this one back up and we'll straighten that out okay so
now you can see it's a really nice secure bed let me give you a better idea on what's happening right there I kind
of let me see if I can scooch that down a little no I think that's where it's going to be
that's fine okay so it's just resting on the top of the
so we're going to lay that down and so I cut like two I call them two Jewel
arms right of artistic wire let me bring that into the camera here
um this is a 26 gauge rose gold
and I thought let's see what happens if we
okay we're gonna put this in front of me let's see what happens if we weave with
that and I know it's going to work okay so I'm taking the wire and I'm going to leave a tail
of about I don't know like four inches right and then I'm just going to twist this
so instead of wildfire I'm gonna do this
and we'll see how it goes then I'm going to take this long old
piece of wire and I'm rubbing it through my fingers because the heat
from your hands from your fingers will remove any of the Kinks from the
artistic wire and what I did I do want to point out let me bring this back in I literally
went and I took the wire and I poked it through every single one of the holes
before we went on because I wanted to make sure that there was a a hole not
that I for a moment didn't think that there was but I wanted to make sure the 26 gauge would work
um this one is fine this little guy that I've got over here but I did notice that
the hole wasn't exactly straight across on that one so I chose to leave it out
for right now um just to make it a little bit easier
um you know for being on on air so I'm coming under the warps these are
referred to as the warps this is our pipe chain I'm going to grab the wire and I'm going
to insert it into this top hole okay so it's 26 gauge it's working
really nice and then we're working with a long piece
so we're really going to be conscious and careful of how we are
sliding this down just because we don't want the wire to get all kinked and crazy and knotted
and if it does we just want to get our fingers and or our nylon jaw pliers
so we're going to drop it all the way down as if though this was like a beading thread like wildfire
and we're going to pop it up and in between just like we would
okay and then once again I'm going to massage this let me find the end this is
an awfully long piece I'm sure I cut way too much so we'll have a better we'll have a
better idea of what's really needed once uh once we get going so then just as if though this were my
needle and thread I'm going to put it back into
that hole and pop it back up here
woofs hold on one second I want to keep it nice and straight
yeah and then we're going to pull it through
by all means you could just do the traditional weaving with your wildfire
and your needle but I just had this
feeling this little design feeling that I wanted to actually do this wire
and look at how gorgeous that's going to be really fun the rose gold there so we're going to
push that bead down just like we would normally we're going to find the end of
our wire again and this is going to be important
where's my let me squeeze over here hold on so my nylon jaw pliers anytime you're
working with wire um I just can't live without a pair of good
nylon jaw pliers beadalon has these um readily available okay so then we're
gonna come under we're going to find that hole just like we would with the needle and thread
and then once again I'm just very carefully guiding the wire you can kind
of see how I have it feeding through my fingers
or strip so we just want to be really careful how we're holding it then we're going to pull a little top
there okay and then we're going to find the end
and we're going to go back through that hole this time on the top of the warps
definitely key to keep this straight this is just an alternative you
absolutely don't have to leave with the wire but I find
um that I just was kind of thinking about the look of what will look best
laying on top of this pipe chain
yes I love working with Neely
sweetheart hi Carmen okay so I want to do some adjusting here
I I want to make sure so bear with me I'm gonna bring my nylon Jaws and what
you're going to find with these um gemstones is that
well they're gemstones so they're not exactly always the exact same size or
shape which I love um so you're just gonna have to work with them on the loom with the warps
just to make sure but let me bring this up so I can show you you see how much prettier it is
now you're going to have like a little Sparkle instead of the dull
you know beading thread um yeah okay Melanie says can you work
with smaller links and just F1 yes [Laughter]
I love you yes you can you can and I don't know why I'm such a goose
sometimes I'm like let's just call let's just cut a really long piece in fact I'm
gonna give myself a break because Melanie's gonna give me permission here
yeah let's just yeah because you know what Mel it's just
gonna be so easy like to um to to re
to add more wire almost easier than the thread because you can do really fun things with the Wire by you know just
adding um adding swirls or other fun things so I'm
going to trim trim my wire because this is just like I know I'm cracking myself up
all right so we're gonna I've just trimmed it
oh my gosh I can't wait to my classes are at night
time in the check and so I think it's going to be like so fun hi Betty okay so
let's pick um let's pick one of these so I'm coming under the warps
yeah and don't forget like Mel you Melanie you can like totally um do the Wildfire if you want but I I
really am loving how this looks on the pipe chain because it's just gonna look more artistic
so to say you know okay so we're going to put this up here and I'm just going
to find the end which hopefully is a lot less okay that's better Jules cracking
myself up see I told you I'm just very giddy about my trip
so I'm going to take that I'm going to find the whole and we're going to go back through what
you'll find is you know it's so important that this be
this be straight I really so this is 26 gauge I I just
feel that 24 would be probably a little too thick
um to um to go through and then back through
come on buddy there we go
oh hi Linda yes you did you finally made it that's awesome Happy Days happy
okay so we're just going to guide that and you just want to make sure to sometimes your wire might decide
to do something funky under there so you want to make sure it's all nice and straight
um I just felt a kink so hold on I'm gonna find it where did you go where'd you go
seriously these nylon jaw Pliers are Beyond important to have
oh boy let's see what's going on here
so we're going to foreign
oh yep see now we want to make sure we got to get this little kink out of here
my long jaw pliers to the rescue please [Laughter]
Brando's snoring can you hear it oh my God so funny
he hasn't been snoring in a long time um this is Artistic wire it's a copper
wire so it's extremely soft and it's the um beadalon
um artistic wire is now part has been a part of being alone for for several years
yeah it's a different idea Linda I wanted something nice to lay on top of
the ball chain um because
I am not sure oh boy I'm not sure um that I would have liked
the Wildfire laying on top of it and I think it's a little tick thick to go
through there we go okay awesome foreign
you just really want to be extra conscious of like the wire because it might want to
dance and then get a little kink in it so let me bring this up so you can see
yeah let me go let's see see how much prettier that is oh yeah that's a good
I like that a lot better and the wire on top of the pipe chain
actually adds like a little a little um I don't know what do you want to say
like a masculine strong kind of feeling I kind of like that but you could do all
kinds of things all right so let's keep going I wonder if I could
actually like tempted to get rid of more wire which I'm going to hold on [Laughter]
so we're going to bring this under the warps and let's see I'm gonna go for a
lighter bead right now and let that fall
oh yeah much easier to have a shorter piece of wire I just sometimes like to make things so hard for myself
a little cake here yeah these nylon jaw Pliers are godsend
seriously I don't know how anyone does wire working without a pair
oh yeah this is really important to
um keep this nice and straight
um lapis there's lapis on the site they're the dark blue ones and they're on the home page Mel
foreign what do you got going on here bud hold
on one second I gotta get this little kink out see how life
is so much better with a pair of nylon job pliers
well what's the matter here buddy one or two going through there you go okay so just be patient you know there's going
to be a couple um possibilities where you're gonna just need to really be patient and guide that
water that wire in yeah there's no lie
yeah I'm kind of bummed too I found out that the moldavite which comes from the check apparently may or may not be
readily available and if it is it's going to be quite expensive but
I can't imagine going over to the check and not coming home with a piece but we'll have to see what
happens there yeah the lapis is on the um website it's
a most beautiful um lapis blue it's it's gorgeous
I got like a little Kink here that's not that yeah being cooperative
I have a tiny tiny little bead hole right there
let's see what's going on
well don't make me cut I might have to cut
[Laughter] let me see okay hold on hold on this is
good though because then we can figure out what we want to do so where is it not it's stopping right there
um so I'm gonna say let's cut let's cut hold on I'm in I'm in surgery
give me a hot minute here okay okay
hold on so we got this little piece
I wonder if there's something in here
it might be that this hole is ah Deb how's it going
dead floors in the house there we go okay so so I'm gonna have to
do something creative here hold on let's let's brainstorm because I just had to
stop so I'm gonna go like this
and I'm gonna go like that and I'm gonna do it again
so this will kind of be like some little fun oh this is going to be cool okay see what I'm doing hold on I'll bring it up
to the camera so I'm wrapping the pipe chain so this
will like be like a decorative element
okay oh that looks really cool it looks like a little Barrel bead
top of itself so that'll be fun that'll just be like a little design element and
nobody will know but me and you [Laughter]
is what is that saying some of the best uh best things come from
a little design faux pas moment so we're going to leave that like that and then we're going to
start with a new piece let me make sure I don't grab the bad piece that uh had a kink
uh piecing might be a better idea it might go faster and it might allow for
other opportunities so let's bring this in and
I think to secure I'm going to do the same thing and just go around
so we're weaving a dab with artistic wire 26 gauge
so I'm going to do that and then I might do like swirls I might come back in and
do like really tiny swirls with those ends
and I need for this to be on the left side
and I need for it to be coming under so here we go all right we're back in
business yeah it's totally yummy okay so let's pack
okay so I'm loving these little I'm loving this what started off as a
boo-boo um and oh I don't like that bead um and I'm and a problem
I like how it's ending up so that works out well
okay that's better better color combination all right so back in business
and we're just gonna go back through here
so I'm curious to um like I just don't know
over there in the check everyone's talking about the pastries [Laughter]
apparently it's pastry heaven so yeah thanks Linda I'm I'm actually
seeing the possibility now too of
um maybe even doing come coming with other little pieces of wire at the end and
doing little Barrel you know like this little look right here randomly in other
places I think that could lend um a really cool look okay so I need to get my nylon jaw pliers
yeah I'm highly going to recommend smaller pieces of wire making one long
one was extremely overzealous and that's not going to be my recommendation even though I started that way I'm going to
do a correction and not recommend that
all right so let's bring this up oh okay I thought we stopped there for a
second yeah I'm definitely going to want to come back over here and do some free hand
so we're going to come under again I think I think for my wrist I only need two more of these
oh gosh okay and don't forget though Mel they're
they're not going to ship until I get back from the check so they'll be safe and sound
um but um the thing too is here's the funny thing with these double drilled
um Dakota from my understanding they're they were not going to be able to get
you know this this is like the quantities are limited and um not necessarily
one that was going to be coming back and then I was like well wait a minute that that's a loom bead
that needs to go on the Louvre so which ones did you get Mel
do you want to share which one you got
oh you have the aqua ones already yep and I haven't been able to get
um you mean the little 5x10 Aqua Jaspers
that we had in the uh creative Soul kit
because I can get those but they're five by tens and it's Aqua Jasper
but they're but they're the little ones they're five by tens not ten by twenties
okay I need to like just massage my
yeah definitely a better idea to have smaller pieces of wire
so much more manageable and I'm I feel like I'm able to just be in a lot better
control so what's my next speed
this looks pretty [Music]
and I should probably um I think I can't remember if I did six or seven for my wrist
so I'm trying to figure out if I want to take the Booboo Loom on the plane my
flight to Frankfurt from La is 10 hours
I have a five hour layover in Frankfurt
and then my flight from Frankfurt to Prague is an hour
I leave La holy guacamole I leave La at
I know I'm probably gonna fall asleep believe it or not I'm one of those crazy people that can sleep on the plane
and so um I don't know I don't know if I should bring
because then I don't know I don't know if I'm actually going to be able to weave I don't even know what my seats
are yet you know if I'm on the aisle and I'm all like weaving away I don't know
but if I were going to take any one of the Looms I would take the boo boo Loom because of its size
and the ability to really crank out um a project
and of course it's the last one and I can't see the hole here what's going on
where to go Bud oh come on now don't give me trouble on the last bead hold on I'm going to turn
myself so that I can see what the heck I'm doing
okay there we go thank you okay
question ooh powder blue the powder blue Jasper the Jade oh my God I just want to come
and yes yes they're so gorgeous oh my gosh okay hold on let me get my pink
bracelet and see because I can't remember let's see
oh one more okay that powder blue looks absolutely yummy
yummy yummy so we got one more I think I have just
enough wire to do one more oh this is a pretty one I didn't see that
foreign so actually even with all the fumbolina
moments in the chitter chatter um doing pretty good timing once you've
got this Rhythm down now that we know we're gonna we're gonna use pieces of
you know I think the longest I ended up using was what like 20
maybe a 20 inch piece um that made my
my rhythm a lot a lot better
so we're gonna have just enough to do this last bit here
and of course I can't see where you at bud
okay Mel was that from the creative Soul kit you were able to make too there was a
lot of beads in that kit yeah the gemstones
well Deb I think thank you I think um uh it's definitely got some
possibilities with the wire to do some fun attachments I've got to move a
little bit here sorry you guys and you still have more that's awesome
so hey I started running ads today on Facebook I feel like such a
big girl um I would love to know if you see one I
will tell you that it's the image of the starter kit the jewel loom
starter kit if you happen to see it would you just make a comment so that I know it's
actually that they're actually being seen um and by an audience that makes sense
it would be really fun to know that um so they just started running today
and again it's the image of the um the jewel loom starter kit
so I'm just wrapping this around
okay and I wanted to let me get another piece out here
I wanted to do some balancing so I feel like I feel like one needs to be over in
here so let's see what we can do
oh wow that's interesting yeah I had I had um a meeting with my my coach person
that does that but I will let you know for sure if it doesn't work because
those things are oh it all depends on what your budget is
right it's not that they're too expensive or anything it's just what you have what you decide to do which if
you've done that then you know how that game works so I'm just adding a wire element here
and it's a little fumbolina just because but it's it's fine
I'm just um feeding the ends of the wire back down
and then pulling them nice and tight
so it definitely adds a different element I'm gonna say that I did I definitely even though this is like a
little a little fumbolina I feel like from a design standpoint I would like
this to perfect this more than I would want to see
um beading thread on top of the pipe chain I'm not saying that it's a major
deal breaker but um I don't know you do it you let me know what you end up
thinking or liking but I I'm really kind of liking this I
did best so again I'm going to leave these little guys um
because I want to clean them up and so yeah so this is
um I feel I'm feeling I'm feeling I Got Feelings let me guess got some wire feelings
going on over here let me cut this piece
so I want to come over here oh GG I love your name the spacer board at the top oh the um
this is there are two different bead boards one is the um silver silk this is
the silver silk bead board and then there is a jewel loom bead board is that what you're referring to Gigi
come back in uh I'm gonna see for Giggles if I can get um
if I can get some more wire through this bottom
foreign it might just be too tight
can I come from this side let me see if I can come from this side
okay cool I just felt like I wanted to have
um this last hole a little bit more secure
so I'm going to wrap The Wire around
I got like all these little spider monkeys everywhere
I would almost now that I've kind of played around with this
um I would almost do this on every not every hole but maybe every other hole I
mean how pretty would that have been I think I like that
I mean you could and and um again now that I'm looking at this I
kind of like that idea like a lot so anyway let me
um let me just see where we're at here okay I'll probably cut that
yeah so yeah so I kind of
I don't know if I would I'm not going to go back and do it on this one just for time um but do you see what I'm saying like
how fun would that have been if we just had like maybe you know every
other hole you did the wrap around I really think that would be quite
stunning actually so yeah okay so I can take this off now
just very carefully I love how that works with the silver silk loom
oh yeah awesome Jody so I could tell you this it's extremely
substantial I'm loving um the feel it's going to feel really
really nice and secure and even though it's off of the Loom
right now it actually might be a little easier if you wanted to go back in
and do some more you know some more of these loops
so you could do a spiral on and bend it on top of the bead yes you absolutely
could and I love love love spirals so you could come in here
and you could I think this is a hair tooth long so I'm
I want to do is grab the very very tip with my very
I tried to get it to the point where I can't feel it and I can't right now and then I make and see that's a little
back in the day Mama could make some really good swirls [Laughter]
let's see let's see what's going on is to be the swirl Queen
they don't really want it to be on top of itself where's my flats
so very carefully because you don't want to strip the wire you could take the side of your flat
and then just roll this into itself but I feel I feel like we got the basics
down now we kind of learned together we want to work with pieces we don't want
to work with a two yard long piece of wire that's just way too much and we want to take more advantage
of The Wire as part of the design element
on the pipe chain and then like we're doing here with the
swirl as Linda mentioned we're going to swirl it
and we can either lay it on
the pipe chain we can also very carefully bring it in
and lay it onto the stone which I'm digging like big
time look at how oh my god seriously I can't I just can't
okay so I'm gonna end up Joan do you want to bring my face back
on you could put my face and then leave this you wanna can we put this in a
well I Stephanie I was thinking about that but yeah I
I'm just this is kind of gone somewhere oh sorry this is in my face hold on hold on let me get this out of
this is burst in a whole different direction than my original idea and I'm
loving it I'm loving it because because this this is gonna look hot like
now now that we've learned now that our minds are all like oh okay right
so now I want to see everybody's so Stephanie says if you start with a
long piece can you uh oh let me see where'd she go can you double wrap before you put in
the next bead I I I'm just gonna say play around with that
because why not why not I'm I the thing though with the
long piece Stephanie that I just had the personal experience with is that it was
it was um I got a couple keys and those are a pain
in the tush to get out when they are so tiny and they turn
so I'm gonna say let's not work with such a long piece like I started off
with let's go with some shorter pieces and I'm just thinking that there are so
many wire working elements now whoopsie let's see that we can do I mean this
piece is just really inspire me right here but I'm going to end up going in
um and doing some more because this is going to be like the middle
so anyway Joan do you wanna you can take this one off I
put this thing in my head I feel like working with but I know I
know it's so fun it's so fun what you can do um do you have any videos on decorating
the wooden button like the resin um I know we I um so Trisha
definitely there's the earring one where she's using the paints and the resin but
it's on the Baltic Birch so same same technique just a different you know
what I would say let me get it hold on let me just get the bottle don't go anywhere
okay so it's plaids Mod Podge and I literally
um I literally just take the tip of it and you don't you want to be really careful with these because you don't
want the bubbles right so it's better to let the product sit make sure that it
hasn't been shook um and then when you're applying it you just really want to
um you know you just want to be like really careful to put a layer down and
you're just smooth you know you're smooching it out right you're just spreading it and you don't want any
bubbles so you might want to keep like an old needle or stick pen something around so that you can
um you can not have any bubbles okay Mod Podge it's it's readily available
Michael's Hobby Lobby you know all your craft stores it's plaid it's plaid mod podge and it's a small
bottle I've had this now I don't even know how long two fluid ounces It's Gonna Last
okay can you you can brush yeah you could do that
I I like to uh pour it on because then it
gives the illusion of more dimension it's kind of hard to tell but
yeah boy this piece is I Hope Neely is happy once it's all done I think he will be it's very substantial
like it's really really um the the
um gemstones the double drilled gemstones
are really laying very very nicely on the pipe chain and not that they
weren't laying nicely here but they're a little more loosey-goosey which is fine they're gorgeous still gorgeous but this
one definitely has more of a stiffness to it so I'm going to take my time to clean up
my wire because now I'm so inspired by you all and I want to do swirly Swirls
and loop-dee loopies and all the things and so
um you we can you know I'm just gonna close it the same way that I did my
bracelet last week and Joan if you want to put that into the notes we can do that but um and I'll
definitely make sure to take a picture of my final my final and oh my gosh ah
okay so we were weaving with the 26 gauge because it's thin and we needed to
get through the hole but by all means now we can come back with a heavier wire
you know what I'm saying so we can come back with a 24 or even I don't know play
around with 22 might be a little too much but now we because we're not going to go back through the holes we're just
decorating the pipe chain I would recommend that I would recommend
that you actually up at a gauge at least to 24. and play around with 22.
because then your your swirlies are going to be a little bit more substantial
and they're going to have a little bit more wow and not for nothing if you wanted which oh my heck now I'm going to
do this I'm going to go see if I have any like burgundy um artistic wire because now I can
actually in these little areas I can weave in some more wire oh my God
I'm like so excited I'm so excited okay did you understand that because I know
it was like a little a little happy okay so we weaved with a 26 gauge
because we needed it to be thin to get through the hole and back through the hole and then we did some things but now
we literally can go back because we're not going to go back through the hole we're just decorating the pipe chain
to make more of a statement but don't go too cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs because you
still want the pipe chain and the Jasper and the gemstones to have like a balance right
I can't wait to see what you do I can't wait to see what I do [Laughter]
okay let's see what's going on here because it's it's uh inspiration overload exactly
right I know I'm sure I'm just I'm kind of like a child right now who knows that they're
going to wherever right like on a trip and I'm so I'm just so excited like
this trip is just so incredibly profound and so meaningful on like levels
just big levels big levels so much healing
is so symbolic to this trip and so and so it's just so heartfelt
so heartfelt let's just say face red heart shape I
love it I love it I know and I'm just so excited that I get to shop for so many
of you it's gonna be so so great so great it's gonna be magical for sure
I know it's just gonna be so cool I can't I just can't wait it's like it's like
you're all going with me and I'm excited because guess what Wi-Fi is free
so I'm like oh I'll be able to post so hopefully I get like a tick tock dance
uh in the middle of Prague somewhere and um and then we're going to a castle
going to a castle where I do believe we're going to be like seeing the jewels oh my heck I'll make sure to
take lots of photos for you yeah it's gonna be really delish really super
delicious so well I hope that this inspired you it's definitely a different
than than what we've done and it definitely evolved over this past hour
and um and so yeah I'm I'm just really can't
wait to go find another color of wire and incorporate that into here so
anyway thank you all so very much um Joan are you able to come on
there you go okay so next Thursday

you oh my God it's so what different way to weave on the silver
silk loom totally different oh my okay
so it's gonna yeah it's jewel loom life recorded brand new project on the silver
silk loom with silver silk pipe chain but it can't
it can be done on capture chain also okay all right and I'm gonna show at
