Healing Power of Art & Wow Designs with Secret Technique

October 28, 2024

Jewelry Making, which is a craft form, is made through creativity. You can use creativity as meditation to help with grief, whether it is due to a loss of a family member, friend, relationship, home, job, etc. In this tutorial, Julianna C Avelar uses the Eileen Hull Loom to show how to make a meditative piece, which can be used to decorate a scrapbook, box, etc., or even can be used as a pendant or extended to make a bracelet. Eileen joins Jewels to discuss the project, with Eileen saying how she turns her paper loom project into a bracelet, & also points out how we can learn from other's creativity. As part of this tutorial, Jewels also shows a secret technique to Wow your papercraft projects & jewelry projects.

In the Grief part of this tutorial, Jewels explains how to set up the Eileen Hull Loom, using Hemptique Hemp, & the beads she used on the base. You can also use 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads for the base, but will need to adjust the width between your warps. If you want to only see the set up of the loom & beginning of the project, start watching at 19:10 mark & 33:40 mark. Watch this part below.

Transcripts Video 1:

you oh I can hear you sorry wait let me mute me I'm trying to uh oh my goodness

welcome welcome alrighty so this is and it's kind I don't know if I'm seeing uh

comments or not so this is kind of interesting but um yeah there we go all right so we're

gonna we're gonna do that oh my goodness so we were um hey

hey this is just a little bit different than normal um we are gathering uh today

for the jewo school live to really speak to the idea of

healing through the Arts healing through creativity and what that might look like

what does that even mean and so Joan uh the jul LOM conier and a special uh

friend of ours is uh they're hanging out in the background and so we were just sharing stories and and laughing and so

um it's been it's it's been uh quite an interesting seven to 10 days has it not

uh and so all throughout the country we've been dealing with some things and here in the jewelry Community we um we

just lost a a bright

shiny sassy um vibrant

vivacious sweetheart generous kind hysterical woman and she was Janes

bestie and and as you can imagine Jones Janes heart is just all over the place

and um and so there's just been so much for many of us that has happened you

know this year and right now we're dealing with people also in the art

community um in the Carolinas I do know that there was specifically an art community and maybe

somebody can help me out with the name of that I I forget what it was called but it was quite a big big community of

art artists and you know there's just a lot going on right there's people missing there's people who have died

there's just it's really hard to watch and and then we have our own personal loss with our with our gender and um

so I remember when I lost my Portuguese grandma and it was

right right after the north rid no no it was right

before Oh my gosh it was either right before the North Ridge earthquake or right after and I was just saying like

since 2020 I've kind of like lost lost time but um regardless when my

Portuguese Grandma did pass away I I was beating you know like I had a loom um

and I gathered all of the things that reminded me of her she was an she was

Earthly she was a gardener a farmer a

Rancher um just an incredible woman and so this this pet you know of all of

these gorgeous greens and and Browns reminded me of her and so I stayed up

until like 3:00 in the morning sewing sewing weaving um this this gorgeous

bracelet to really just kind of help me with my own grief and obviously I

couldn't sleep and so you know being able to gosh how many years so I do

believe the earthquake the big one that was 93 Northridge and this

is 24 so what are we talking like 30 some years is that incredible like something

that you can you can touch and feel and you can look at it and um how did I you

know I'm thinking from product standpoint what did I weave this with because this is like pretty gnarly uh

strong strong um material I this is back in the day when we used a combination of

fishing line honest to goodness fishing line and Nyo and so uh regardless it's

just it's great it's beautiful it's my grandma I I keep it close by and um you

know it's it's everything that she was right so you know when when you talk about

grief you know I think that the word grief in the dictionary should be roller

coaster of emotions you know right Joan and I were talking about like the guilt

that comes with grief with somebody close to us that passes

right like when my dad passed I felt like I should have saved him and I went

through like a little period of time there where I really felt like oh my God

you know like why didn't I save him like like how was I gonna do that right

and and so um you know that is something that I think is

really normal it's like a it's like a process of all these different emotions that you go you know like you feel

guilty and you and then you're pissed right like you're like being pissed is

really quite um an emotion right you're like mad you're mad because that that

happened right so you're mad and you're sad and you're feeling guilty and then you're you um you know you you also know

that they're in a much better place um and then you just you're kind of like in this repetitive circle of emotion um and

and grief is it can look so differently right it can be literally that we've

lost a person in our life like they have literally passed on and and you know

can't pick up the phone to call them you're not going to see them necessarily right so you know there's there's that

but then there's also grief uh from relationships

right that don't that don't work out and that could be with a significant other it could be with a friend um there's the

loss and the grief of work you know right before I got on here one of my

really really longtime industry friends just posted that she got laid off and

and you know and I can say this because she posted it publicly she said you know

so much for five years or something like that and and so we're we're in the we're in the pissed we're in the mad we're in

the mad right and so it'll all evolve and eventually you know doors will open

and gosh there was like a few hundred people who were just like cheering for her and they were just like dude they're

lost like you're G to shine now this like boom but there's going to be that

period of time for her that she's going through um where you have all kinds of different feelings you feel you feel um

thrown under the bus you feel um tossed out you feel abandoned you feel

everything that doesn't feel good right when that kind of grief happens when you

when you lose a job when you lose a business deal um that's all like really

normal kind of stuff and so I think I think the um you know I think too that when you

look at what's going on in in on the East with the hurricane coming through

that level of grief is something I can't I can't even put my head around I

don't think any of us can and um you know that is you know a lot of people

haven't heard from their loved ones a lot of people um they're animals oh you

know I know that we're just like a whole entire Community here like of lovers of fur babies and you know when when

they're looking for their horses and I know they just found like a dog in a tree he was alive um and you know

so yeah grief it's tough It's so tough and it's so deep and it hurts and um

creativity creativity has been something for me personally a way for me to

express myself to just calm down now I'm

not saying in in any way shape or form right that making a

bracelet cured the world or like you know took all of that pain away but what

it did do from you know I was living in Loke I had to drive to Oxnard I get to

my grandma's house and I'm sitting there and you know and and there's nobody you

know Grandma's not coming around the the corner saying you weedy you weedy I make you eggs I make you bacon you know like

that it just right she wasn't there and so to sit in her space and be able to

make something it made me feel like I was with her and even holding this right

now you know I can have a piece of her and so I do believe that expressing

ourselves through ART whether it's painting sewing weaving making journals

scrapbooking um Ceramics you know you name it I mean there's so many different

ways cooking canning gardening you know there's so many different ways to

express yourself creatively and so I do feel like this idea of

healing with the expression of art being

creative I think that it is so profound and if you have the ability to share

something some sort of a craft something with somebody that might be going through it um I

mean I was talking to Joan and Joan was telling me about how Ginger really wanted the balloon

earrings from the havu kit a couple months ago

and so Joan had made those for her and sadly was not able to get them to her

and so we were you know we were even talking about like well what now right

those balloon earrings are just two pieces of wood

with some beads on them did you paint them Joan you probably painted them right she says

yeah and so we were just kind of like talking about that and and so I do

wholeheartedly believe um that you know that it's a great way to just sit with

um you know what what has happened and so there's a lot of comments coming in

and I love this because I I I know that this community really understands the

connection and so lean is even talking about um yeah PTSD absolutely and I'm a

huge believer with the weaving um that the that the motion of going from left

to right because it calms you right it calms you down and we all know that we

know that when we get deep into our weaving we calm down and so um yeah so I

just thought it was really I just wanted to share that a lot of us are hurting for many different reasons you know our

hearts are immediate with what we just lost our hearts are with the people throughout the US who are just

like I just you know you just want to like get in your car and like pack a bunch of crap and like go and help and

do whatever you can and and so it's so it's so tragic right then there's like

this tragic grief too because you don't get to you don't get any warning you

don't get any warning you don't get to say goodbye and that that's just got to be like a whole other level of grief

that is um I mean I've not necessarily experience that with the death really um

relationship wise so you know and that's a whole other whole other category when you're

grieving somebody who's still alive and so it

really yeah I think the truth you know when I think about the word grief and I think about you know what it should

really say it's like roller coaster of emotion based on blah blah blah blah blah blah blah um but anyway Ginger was

fun and I'll never forget when I first met her I was I told Joan she just said something so incredibly naughty and I

can't remember exactly what it was but I just remember

thinking oh my God this woman you know she just was she was Ginger she just did

not um hold back and she lived her life and that really is what I want to um end

this with and I'm going to get into like the palette I picked out um but life is

short folks really is when you think about it I'm going to be 59 on Saturday

by the way and I'm just like tripping right like I

still can remember being in high school I can remember being 21 I could

remember you know finding out that I was pregnant with Josh um and so in a blink

of an eye I'm 59 well I got till Saturday to be 59

but you got to live your life in all of this other crap we just have to figure out how to navigate through it

um and and live

so and honor what's happening around us but we we have to live and we have to

stay strong and be strong for those that need us but um yeah so yes thank you

Leanne I'm I'm still young I can't believe it though that

means that like in a year I'm going to be 60 which by the way I want to go to

Portugal so we need to plan a trip so who's with me I really do I want to go

to Portugal for my 60th and I think it would be a blast to like just go as a big group and have fun so so go she says

my jewelry making Journey has helped me get through grief over the last few years I lost one of my sisters my only

brother and my mom oh my heck I'm so sorry yes yeah that's tough that's a lot

that's a lot I hope you're taking care of yourself I really do Hey listen um I

I'm going to show you the palette that I picked for for ginger I was like oh this has got to be fiery it's got to be fiery

and spicy and snarky and sassy and all of that kind of stuff I thought it would be really fun but but um I do want to

bring Eileen in Eileen hle is here because I am working on the Eileen Loom today we're just going to play around

and like take it easy peasy and so um I don't know

there Hi how are you Hi everybody yeah

you I'm sorry about Ginger I didn't know her but I wish I did because she sounds like a riot you was sharing a story

before we went live yeah so you have to remember that the fun things and yeah you

know just have good memories and yeah yeah yeah it's true you really do and I

think we're you know you and I've been so blessed to be in the creative Industries because we have done a lot of

work in in the memory category you know scrapbooking journaling and um and so

we've watched people at you know the the crops scrapping their photos and their

memories and um and so it's been a really big blessing to be a part of

people's lives on that level and what's really cool too is that the way that you

birthed um uh I don't even know that like I was

thinking what do you call your birthing like it's not even quadruplets you've had like is it Queen toppets I don't

know what you would even say hundreds of babies hundreds of babies and so you

just had a product released today and I just want to say like okay so the thing

that kind of came to my mind about Ginger when I was thinking about design it's a little hard I made this at Bellon

it's very small Ginger was not small but my idea was um and I'll show

you what I got going on it was on a much bigger level but not as big maybe as

what Tiffany did many years ago so Tiffany made this yeah cool very stinking cool yeah so she got the

loop-de-loops and she went around yeah it's pretty it's pretty you know so I was kind of

thinking that and then there's this cool piece this is a heart oh yeah yeah this

was done on the small Sun we I think I did this on jewelry television

with the small I did with the small Sun Weaver but you see this little gorgeousness where to go the jewel

nugget right here the jewel I'm calling them Jewel Toppers oh okay yeah so this

one is like sewn really tight very conservative again not not

Ginger not Ginger Ginger was she was yeah she didn't have big hair but but

she represented all the big hair girls had a big hair Personality yeah right

right so so before we came on I was telling you a little bit about what I wanted to do because I've used your loom

um our baby and I warped the Eileen Hall Loom with a 0. five hemp cord by

hemptique which you know I I love I think you love them too and then I

thought I'd really get a little wild een and I found some three O's so these are too seed beads but they're three and

they got a big hole and because I'm going to be using the decorative beads from my holiday collection that

represents Ginger um I needed to be able to get back through the hole okay and so

I couldn't find any 8os but I did find three o and that's what these are these are 3os so I

already built the base and um you know we've done it a couple of times you know

we tie off up here and then we warp I've got I got five warps because I got four

beads across okay and I skipped one

Groove oh does mama approve does m baby okay I do that too okay so my thought

was that I was gonna work on that I will be working on this topper that's going to be you know a little wild and said to

you hey didn't you just like have a product release this week and when they do a product release with sizzix it's

like like Quint toplet like you have a lot of babies right at one time well there's seven this time seven okay so

you have seven new dyes yeah and I mean I don't know do you want to do a Vanna

real quick or yeah sure I've got it right especially the one that we looked at at the end there because that's yeah

I'll show these are uh these are little thinl dies so these are uh it's kind of like

for Junk journaler collectors uh oh so they this one is like bookmarks and

pockets and Toppers this one is charm so this one could be used to hang off a loomed

piece uh this is floral pockets and paper clips so these are just things that you would put inside a journal then

I have a set of rubber stamps well they're photopolymer stamps uh these are

words that the people in my fan club uh said I I had one day to make a stamp set

and I went in the our group which is the Eileen Hall fan club if anybody wants to

join and I said if you were to have a set of stamps which what words or

phrases would you pick so these are all words from the fans and it's called fan favorites so that and then there is uh

an embossing folder which get a good grip on it it's called floral damask so

that's fun and then a four layer stencil and it's called plate

and what is it plate and pattern yeah plate and pattern and then this is the

last one this is called the mini album and this is a nice 5 by5 journal and I

have one that I did on my live just like couple hours ago and this is my little Journal it's a

swatchbook and this would be the perfect place to put a nice little beaded spine

or Fiber woven spine or you could make like a little closure wrap it around

close it or a belly band going up or down so there I can see lots of ways

that I would use the loom there so um anyway those are my collections so

they're they're actually not in my shop yet uh it's called the Eileen Hall Etsy Shop they're not listed yet they won't

be on there until October 21st so I have to wait three weeks to

sell yeah but then we're going to do our release party on October 22nd so if you

want to see more about how they work come on over there and uh you know in

the meantime if you want to join fan club get in the groove we're doing um

we're kind of integrating the loom projects in with the books and and everything that and I'm also working

with a leather company now so it's interesting to take all of the products and put them together so that is so cool

Joan can you bring me back up real quick I don't want to touch anything there we go okay um people were saying

we were really dark is that battery I don't know I just turn I just

saw a something to go from dark to light and I changed it oh good but think think

Ken is kind of dark it's hard to see what she's showing yeah that's okay it's

probably me sorry you terrible but I feel like I've got this

ATL and I feel like I'm cooking under the interrogation light so I yes to put

away from my eyes yeah I got I've got a big one in front of me and I'm a little I turn the fan on so but I love that

journal and my my you know when you were talking about like the spine yeah so you

know we've done that right we Y and then this one is actually yours but I came

home with it beautiful yeah and so that's what eileene is referring to and

so yeah so the whole whole idea with the Eileen Loom was to you know definitely marry this idea of paper crafting with

weaving and of course the natural you know it this concept this idea of

healing with creativity you know it's got to be put on something right if it's not a piece of jewelry um then you know

hey put it yeah put it on a book so I love that journal I can't wait to get my

hands on one I wanted to show you I wanted to show you this too oh pretty

yeah because this is um this is just yarn and see how tight The Weave is and

then you can go in and do your beautiful yeah and this was um uh actually this

was what was Tiffany stuff called oh oh the the to cast yeah yes cool this

was one of the cool to cast buttons oh wow and you know I had originally made this as you know a bracelet but the but

the idea of these things you wrapping around of your projects is like

perfect and this is this is fairly easy right so when we're talking about this

idea of breaking out our Loom and you know making something it when we're

going through something that doesn't feel great right um that weaving just

with fibers is like super duper easy yeah it is easy and rewarding like

everything just looks phenomenal who made that one piece I thought it was you but I don't think it was you it was a

scrapbook store wasn't it somebody made something and I was like oh my gosh I'm dying over Isabelle no Isabelle's

Isabelle's in I mean that girl rock star yes she's rock star she's from Europe

right she's over Scotland I think this was scrap something or other oh it's on

the Instagram oh I have to go look did I see it I don't even know I I thought it

was you but then I think it was them and then oh Terra it was Terra okay she's on

my team she's in Puerto Rico yeah she well the is it the one where she did the three journals the three little ones

with the fibers maybe so pretty yeah can I just tell everybody how much I love

and 911 happened and I remember it there was just like a disconnect between the

West like the West people you know were not they

couldn't wrap their head around it and we didn't have crazy social media back

going on all over the world quite frankly so yeah all right elen I love

like you know I can't put that on on the other Scorpio dudes

right a thanks Vicki that was awfully sweet of you Hey listen I'm going to go

down to um the table and just kind of show you what what I got going on

um so I don't know if you saw the Joan are you trying to figure out

how to how to pull up the overhead she's like

oh sorry I kind of B out there yeah well it's not like you know I mean are are

you holding up back there because like seriously if you okay because I want you I want you to be okay I mean tell me

this doesn't look delicious look at that this is the holiday collection it's um

just a gorgeousness of Reds and greens

and silver and lavender and purples I mean it really is like a Christmas tree with a bunch of ornaments right

so this is in the shop um you can absolutely get the E hole Loom on uh in

her Etsy shop for sheries um it is available in the jewel

loom shop but we always want to um support our our um designer peeps the

holiday collection is in the jewel loom shop okay so just for a little clarification of course you could ask me

like 5,000 more times and I'll answer you all right so what I've done I did mention is that I warped with some 0.5

um hemp cord and this is hemptique It's the really the only hemp cord that I

um that I use I like the company you know they're here in California they're

sustainable it's good stuff these are 3os these are big ones they've got uhoh

they got really big holes I got to let him out really quick he's choking hold on come on

bu come on go go

boyos okay sorry I don't have kids I have a dog

right I mean Josh is grown so that was Marlin Brando he needed to

uh he needed to get out of here probably too hot so anyway I did do my base I've got five rows again um

skipped I skipped a Groove all right on the grid up

here and yeah so skipping a Groove accommodates this three seedbead this is

a too they're gorgeous they've got a big hole and I don't think I've done this

before so we're going to see what happens you know nothing like going live

and trying something new but I love that and I think you do as well so I've got all of my beads in the jewel loom um

bead board here which I sometimes forget like how freaking awesome it is and come on tell me that the laser Loom and the

heart are not like unbelievably cool we might have to do an Eileen

board we might need a e bead board okay so I've got the um thread coming out

here on the right side of the Loom and my needle is in my right hand and this

would be my left hand and the loom is straight up and down in front of me and

you could work with the loom in whatever position feels right for you okay this is just how I do it and so what I'm

going to do is I'm going to take the needle I'm going to come down one row I'm going through that first bead and

then you could see the needle coming out and in between that first and second bead from the right side

and what I'm going to do is I'm going to make a loop and so these are 11

O's and I'm just going to pick up a bunch so let's see

two oops three it doesn't matter I mean

I'm just going to pick up a lot um so if I pick up a lot of Loops or a lot of

beads my Loop is going to be very big right if I picked up like say only six

seed beads size 11 then my Loops would be really tight and

short but again Ginger was full of

personality and so it is kind of funny we were talking about and Joe posted this so it's not like I'm telling

secrets you know of people going to jail or anything that aren't true but

um you know Ginger was fun she was a lot of fun lots of laughs so we should

remember that we should we should live large like ginger you know what you should do a t-shirt Joan you need a live

large like ginger t-shirt okay so now I'm going to pick up what I would refer to as a

decorative bead right so we just got a really pretty check glass bead there's 19 I think strands

of check glass beads different sizes different styles different

colors oh my gosh now he's scratching at the door to be let in this

dog he is too funny

whoops so I'm a scooper I like to get the bead on the

needle and then I scoop up with my thumb uh other people I think I think I the

girls I think Trisha and Amber I think they do something like they take the needle and then they they go swoop I

can't do that well let me try I just can't do it I swoop okay I'm gonna go

back to my thumb but again it doesn't matter it really doesn't matter you just

want to get them up on your needle I wasn't counting so let me just let me do a visual to see

I guess that looks good okay so then what I'm going to do is I'm going to take the needle and I'm going to go back

through the right side of that big old third size three bead and I think I want

to I'm going to go through I'm going to go through one two three and then I'm

going to come out between the third and fourth bead let me bring that up to the

camera there you go so I'm coming out of the uh left side of the third and in

between the third and fourth bead and now when I pull I'm going to have my

first my first Loop very cool okay so look at how big that is

whoa now if I added more seed beads my Loop would be bigger if I added less

seed beads it would have been shorter so it's all depends on like what what look

are you going going for so I'm going to pick up some more and this time I'll just pick up

less um just for Giggles so that you can kind of get

the gist of what's going on here oops well see now I got to

reposition my hand I had my hand uh all the way up on

the top of the the needle and my hand's not not that big so let's see what do I

got I got two five okay I got five the jewel loom needles are like 3

inches long by the way but if you were working with a traditional bead needle like a 10 or a 12 they're much shorter I

have a really hard time with those needles um just because of my you know

I've been doing jewelry for so long my hands don't really want to be too too flexible and so the jeom

needles are really really nice for that okay so I've only got seven or do I have

eight so let's pick up a green one of these green

gorgeousness and then we'll go ahead and we'll pick up some more seed

beads you know if you're not live or you're not taping something I think you can kind of get the idea that when

you're focusing on picking up the beads and you're creating these Loops you know there's there's just this moment of of

Silence right um and so the calming effect of

weaving is very beautiful okay I think there's one more okay so one more and so

I'm going to let that fall and then again we're going to go to

the right side of the bead and then all all the way out and I'm going to bring

that up so you can see that so I came through the right side of the bead and

now I'm going back through and all the way out and this will be my next

Loop oh that one wants to dance a little so you can see see how there's less seed

beads so that one's not as big

okay and I do think I'm going to put one here on the last on that last

bead and so we will pick up let's do another long

one so that we do actually have um a consistent look

so I don't know there were a lot I didn't count them so four four

five 6

7 8

9 10 does that look maybe kind of like

how many do we do I didn't count I was so bad because I was talking um 2 4 6 8 10 12 maybe two more

let's do two more so one two and I haven't used what color

what color um we'll just use one of these guys and then we'll pick up

another another

Bunch it's a little hard I to see um the laser on the Eileen hole logo

is so good it's like the green beads are just

melting into it so I'm GNA see if I can't find something

to because you know elen's just got to be

uh just that that beautifulness of that laser with her name it's really

delicious don't you agree Mama whoops

okay let's see what we got going on here my goodness I'm like a slow picker upper

today okay well we're just going to pretend that's enough that is isans board differ from Silver silk it looks

longer actually it's not let me finish this Loop so

um so I just went through the right side and you can see like that's our that's

our third Loop okay so I just wanted to give you

an idea of like you know we've got less seed beads more seed

beads and um the question and give me a hot second here because I happen to have

I just so happen to have a silver silk loom next to me so the silver silk loom

is definitely well it's a Daddy it's a big dad it's NE right so the that Loom

is it's wider and it is longer Eileen's Loom was

specifically designed for the spines on her Dy so

elen designs die cuts for um well still rule

dyes and thin dyes for scissors and so the length here correct me if I'm

wrong but we're it's 6 in right like 6 and A4 or something I think and uh with

like a 2 inch wide we we really looked at a lot of her um journals let me bring

that one back in here ien I can't remember the name of this one do you want to tell

me let me see if I can't hold on there we go what's this one h

oh why can't we hear you you're muted hold on I think you have to

unmute sorry I wasn't sure which was which I'm usually on the other end of the controls here that one is called the

con um card caddy card c yeah it's got

little supports on either end but if you don't put them in there it turns into a book and I think that one is one and a

half inches wide yeah so think that's about let me get the

um let me get the old sewing tape measure let me see this

one yeah this is six and a quarter okay your loom is six and a quart long and

the grid is one one and a half inches white

okay yeah and so the silver silk loom is much bigger because it was

designed to a accommodate silver silk which is thick um and and and wied um

and to make bracelets yeah so Eileen's Loom was specifically designed for paper crafting

journaling Etc um and so I think did you figure out how to

make a bracelet somebody did somebody did you figure out how to extend well yeah I well there a couple ways but what

I do is I wrap the the warp around the back too okay so I just keep wrapping

and then at the end I have extra cord or whatever to

uh you wrapped oh my God you didn't tell me that I love that there's not a grid on the back though so what did you do

you just let them you just did like faux faux grid well yeah I didn't really need

I mean I have the little teeth at the top and the bottom and just kind of hooked them

in I I did the back of the it it really just acts as an extender I'm not really

weaving on the back I'm just using it to keep the the warps longer you know what

I mean oh I got you not them or tie them or something I have more to work with

did you ever do you know Judy Hayes no I don't think so I feel like you probably

do Judy's yeah J Judy go way back to skell binder cic days design teams Etc

but she once took the jewel loom and and she did some magical things with the original blue jewel loom to extend and

she had like clothes clippy thingies that you know you hang clothes yeah and

blue T I mean it was hysterical what she did yeah I was just like having a

flashback well it works you know when you want something to work for you you

figure out how to make it do it yeah you do well um I love that and I don't feel

like we've done that on I know hair yeah I need to do a video I do it at you know

it's like three o'clock in the morning I look bad and I don't want to do a video

you know but that's when the the brainstorms come so what can I say yeah

my you know that would be better yeah well you could just do an overhead shot I

mean you know video of like of like what you're talking about and so um just to

kind of like if people I feel like we're like talking secret code so Eileen slom

is um specifically for you know weaving on the front right so there's no grids on the back and she wanted to figure out

how could she make a longer piece and so that's what she's speaking to and um

we're both like yeah we need there needs to be video on that because it sounds really cool yeah so um that's that's

nice so so later tonight your your Dy are being introduced by Stacey right

yeah okay and what is that what does that look like it must be actually it's

I love watching it because you know the thing is when you design something and you know this you design a tool and you

have an idea in your head of what you want to do with it yeah then you give it to somebody else and they do something

just crazy that you never would have thought of yeah well that's what it's like anytime I see anything people make

with my dyes because you know you bring your whole personality into it and all

the knowledge and experience of all the crafting you've done and the supplies that you like to use and you just make

it yours and I love it so Stacy I don't know but I'm going to watch and I bet I'm going to get some tips yeah CUA

she's um she's like a pretty profoundly yeah like she her and ginger would have

had a good time oh yeah I think so yeah oh that that is the truth like when I go

into the jewel loom group um I'm always blown away you know like everybody blows

me away their color choices they you know what they've done somebody was

working on the large wisdom Warrior and they were working on patterns and I was

like what like unreal work and it just made I steep back and I'm like that's my

loom I know it's a good feeling it's such a great feeling because that's exactly what you want I um I don't know

at all yeah well you have your style you know that's the thing I mean you do what

you like so when you see somebody else using a tool that you designed to make what they like it's very very satisfying

I just yeah love it it it is it's it is really the most rewarding thing because to your point you're right we have our own

Styles and I think we both love production we love to to invent we

love to make products and um that's a really big thing you know it's a really

big thing and then you know to also have all the creativity it's impossible yeah

it's a lot social media and the sharing of it and the all of that techn

gey crazy but girl I just spent the weekend in Dallas with some other shops

and I can't it was so good and these women are

so they're just amazing and all their businesses were different like this one

business people send in their their memorable

clothing like a wedding dress or maybe a military outfit or

a Grandpa's flannel right like they send in these clothes and then this company

makes memory teddy bears oh wow yeah wow that's like like

in like for reals by their hands like not sent overseas or you know like it's

like um yeah and then let's see what other oh and I'm going to totally do

I'm totally G to do a a what's it called a box reveal um I I met the nail polish

lady who does clean nail polish with none of the crap in it did you know oh

no like a lot of nail polish has think about it well the way it smells it can't be good right so I like that smell but

it's probably burning up my lungs oh my God you're so funny yeah so she she makes

nail polish and I ordered a few and I'm super stoked I can't wait to to get the

nail polish and I'm definitely goingon to share it with everybody because I'm like over the top so she was super cool

um they were all unbelievably cool and they just everybody does something a

little bit different there's a really cool chick she's so hungry hippie yeah

so hungry hippie she's really she's amazing what did she do so she does like

these really bitching vinyl bags that you learn how to make and and so she's

she was super cool and um yeah I everybody was everybody was just so

amazing I felt like the impostor I was like I do not belong like you I I know

that is only my subconscious brain protecting me I'm learning okay I'm into psychology okay I'm learning about my

brain and how screwed up it is but no really not no impostor

system impostor syndrome is the brain trying to keep you in a safe place when

you are trying to uplevel ah yeah so put

that in your hat and smoke it like for

reals your brain is almost like its own flipping little person who's like screwing with you half the time sounds

that way I know I'm like this is this relationship got to end with friends like that who needs

enemies friends like that yeah so yeah so just um it was really great I was in

Dallas uh PL Plano Plano what what a beautiful area um my just everything was

great everything was great food was great Ubers were awesome airport folks

were delightful you know like there just yeah there were no like ugly moments it

was all just really good um so yeah so I got six rows on this cute

topper and so of course I would just like you know continue to to build it to

build it out and um I don't really know because I did the

hemp cord I can't do Danielle snazzy at least I don't think I can now it's not

because of the cord it's because of the loops so Danielle does this really cool trick yeah where um where she's able to

maneuver the warps so she like pulls one and it comes forward and then she pulls

from the top and it pulls that way and then she's like she's doing this magical

thing and it really works when you when you just have a a

flat basee and you know like you're using Wildfire or oneg or something um

but every once in a while I get it to work with all of my craziness because

you have to imagine that the warps are they're pulling right but if there's something that you looped around it it's

not it doesn't want to pull anyway she's there's Daniel we're

I'm talking about you and you're we want to see your magic Danielle your magic so

I'll have to see in the end if I'm able to do that with this one sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't so but um

yeah so listen whatever you're going through

um you've got a lot of people rooting for you I really do believe that I do

believe that the human the humans are not as bad right like I do believe that

there that there are just lovely mostly really great people out there in

the world who just want to help Andre yeah I drove around the country

this summer I did uh 6,400 miles in 26 days and like no jerks like there were

just no jerks you know like yeah I think they're good and just the fun people I

met at the state parks or at the stores or you know they're all nice like yeah I

know that that's not the real world but that's what I saw in 26 days so pretty

good average you know well I mean and what is the real world right you know I

think that we can be um we can get loaded with all the crap social media is

just like really I really liked life it in many

ways um it does unite I think this YouTube thing that we get to do with

with the streamyard and everything like we we get to show up and be here for each other but there's nothing like

being in person and I know that we keep talking about it and we were hopeful that we could do something this year but

it doesn't look like an in-person event but I know that it's on your heart I know it's on my heart it's on Joan's

heart um I know that collectively there is enough creative heart to figure out

how to do something I'd really love to GA Gather in the South because I think it's a nice meeting area you know I

don't know how easy it is to fly in and out of Missouri that kind of seems like a central point Nashville obviously is

Central we've got a ton of people scrapbook I mean mama is it Mama Mia

what what is her mayay not Mama Mia mayay she's Alabama South South yeah I gotta meet

her she is fun she is really really a nice cool person yeah so I don't know we

might just have to um am I just we just have to do something there's too many people who um

we need to get together with we could fly into oh look at Danielle's already doing travel arrang on at Barryville

Arkansas where's Barryville oh Barryville Arkansas is there an airport

there uh Arkansas I'm trying to think of where I have that's like oh that's the

Walmart built by Walmart oh really that's where all the W that's where all the the Sals people for Walmart yeah by

the corporate corporate is there and but the other thing about Arkansas is that

it has Tiffany loves this and I can't remember what is it called it's the gems

and the minerals and the like the why am I doing this I don't know but it sounds

good what the it's something like line or

something I don't know I don't know Hidden Gem she's as friendliest people I

know then friendliest good to me wow that's a

bir that's like I'm gonna yeah I never been to the Arkansas

launch and um very exciting I know that when all those babies come out it's

always like a really you know it's exciting it's very exciting for

sure and so yeah so we'll um patiently

await for you know like new project ideas and I'm sure there'll be an abundance of them I have them I and I've

samples but they're for classes that I'm going to stores to teach so I don't like to you know put them out there when

they're paying so I do have some cool ideas and um there one of them is going

to be in the Bella um craftathon I'm gonna do okay

okay I gotta that you're that you're teaching yeah if you can believe it Lena wants to

know if um you filmed your road trip on YouTube I Didn't Do It on YouTube I did

uh every day on Instagram I did reals I did a reel of each day so you can go

back and watch that I I left on July 8th so if you go to Eileen Hull on Instagram you can see every day kind of where I

went yeah I Didn't Do It on YouTube well some might be on YouTube I did one at

the top of a mountain in um Bryce Canyon

I was 9,000 feet up in the air and I could go live it was crazy were you on

the satellite thing star or whatever it's called I don't know how it got

there I thought I'm just gonna try it and it went live oh I guess there was nothing stopping it from bouncing around

I I don't know how it all works honestly but yeah any yeah all right well

Danielle says she can't wait to check out your launch and Danielle's got a lot of Rockstar things going on and so um

you know I have been blessed with Danielle doing um the monthly creative

soulbox and and people what I really have

noticed is that people are getting and this is what I wanted I really wanted people to be able to get the project

going and and done and I have uh Linda Lee who just rolled in

um showed me her projects and you did a phenomenal job and

Kathy tur something TCH I can't don't hold me to that but the point is just

that I'm seeing people show me their projects and I love

that and so thank you Danielle for being conscious of how to design and how to

present because it means the world to me and the creative Soul people and so um

Danielle's not in the back room I feel like every week we should

just like how many people can I load up into the back I could have 10 people

yeah okay we should like I think it would kind of be once a month to like have 10 people in the back room so it's

pretty fun you could all be working at the same time with the same stuff wouldn't that be a cool video at the end

you can show them everybody okay have you done that yeah you have yeah with 10

people yeah it was a little tricky a lot of people they're little boxes I was

gonna say C you can feature you know you can Spotlight somebody okay you know oh

sure like on a zoom yeah and in here yeah but I mean yeah in here you could

do that so oh well we gotta try that yeah we got to try that so much so all

job I've been watching them they're killing it Elon has sent like a a taunt of the Stargate yes starlink yeah my my

niece is uh seven months pregnant and she's in Asheville she used that to uh

okay get to us to say they're all alive so okay I mean yeah yeah and there was

also a post from him that they're not being charged and so don't be worried

about that you you can certainly go and you should look for it yourself but from my understanding there it's not like you

are being charged if you're in that area like the starlink knows they give them a

number and and then they go through that or something I I don't know how it works it's it's Brilliance but um yeah and

then the cjun cinjun Army oh I don't know I've heard stuff about that but I I

think they're more like they take and then they like on their horses like get into where they got to go oh

I'm the person who would have people over to my home all the time yeah yeah like I don't

care like if you yeah like I'll feed you I don't care good so good seeing you you for for

um in honor of um Ginger did she have red hair by any

chance no no okay because those little curly things reminded me of like kind of

she was blonde before she turned gray okay but but she did have a wave to her

hair and yeah she had curly hair she had curly hair red red kind of personality

actually I found a picture over six months before I met her and I wish I could have seen it it was so beautiful

she had her hair done in multicolors oh wow it was so cool yeah she was a it's her character

was definit Ely flaming and red and vivacious and orange for happiness and

you know just sassy and yep you know her favorite color was purple so she'd

always try to steal everything purple out of my stash I want that one I'm gonna add more

purple then into this piece but that seems pretty good like I I think you

translated that into your work you know with the little loops and every you know

that just yeah looks like she would be in be yeah that's that's definitely what I

when I think of her just uh very vivacious and funny and I mean who who

throws their bestie out into the hallway in their skibbies come on now and shs the door

loocks I would be dying oh I am so glad that a sweetheart

went down got the r key yeah but

she there was something else I was gonna say she didn't I can't even think of it now oh my God it'll come to it'll come

to you those are hopefully some of the things that'll keep you that's that I mean

there's not a day anyway be you know before this happened that something would pop in my mind about her and I

just burst out laughing happen but she was one a lot of people didn't know she would actually she loved be around

people but she would burn out her energy and have to go sleep the rest of the day so it wouldn't take long for her to

burn out her energy so everybody thought she was like that all the time and she

was that's really interesting re recharge her batteries yeah yeah

[Laughter] wow so that's what I would have to do is like what saying you know when they're

having that experience at Joy television and stuff people be wondering where she was in the afternoon I said having a nap

she has to go to sleep I I'm na her too she would she

once year I couldn't believe she did this she goes well she goes I'm so tired I need to go to sleep in the meantime

she had scheduled for somebody to teach her bead weaving which at the time I've never done before and I ended what it

was she planned it all along she wanted me to go down and learn it and teach it to

her so she skipped out on her class yeah she did that she absolutely

is a huge fan of Danielle Wicks but she wanted me to always do it or do it with her but I knew what she was doing she

wanted me to finish it for her too oh my gosh well and wasn't she wasn't weren't

the two of you in cahoots during one of wet's classes or something funny weren't

you guys naughty wait the very F now I gotta let you know this one I was friends with her

for six months before I went to my first JTV workshop and you know some of the

girls knew her and she was running around with this other one but it was so funny because I kept hearing stories

about Ginger and I go why are they talking about my friend that way you know because you I just knew Ginger is me and ginger

you know and then so I was in candy Cooper's

class and all a sudden there's like 10 or 15 minutes left for class and she she calls me and she goes where are you and

I said I'm in candi's class I don't even know why I answer the phone because normally I wouldn't do that and and

Candy standed next to me like looking at me and she goes well why are you still in class why I ended the class just to

get her and Ellen out of it at 15 20 minutes early D because he

couldn't stand around them anymore wait who was that Wyatt did

that she would and then after that year she would easily talk him so he goes if

you be quiet I'll make your jewelry for you here's the beatball so she's playing the beatball he'd make her jewelry for

my God down she knew what to do oh she know

that she knew how to do get people to do stuff that is too much you know Ginger

and Joan did a couple videos um where Joan was trying to teach Ginger how to

use the Jew by the it was a three-parter by the last part she go I'm going to live here

if you finish it this is the tutorial it's so funny and we there's a

lot of views on those on the on that it's so

funny so funny oh my God so good what a

blessing that you know what I mean like yeah

yeah oh God I think I just accidentally ended us didn't I no are we you're still

on W so I feel like touch mean to keep

everything going I'm sorry no Joan this is the healing part of like

what's so important because you got to laugh with your friends I mean and

that's what she wanted she didn't want anybody mourning over her she said she just wanted a party and with people

laughing and she'll be there in spirit here we are here we

are that's so good so good well you know

that you have a big community of people you know you have me like there's going to be times where you might need to just

have an ear so you know you have that with me and I think you can express

yourself freely um here as well hi oh Kiren there she was one of um that

called me out in the hallway where I got stuck outside with my underwear

on did you shut the door and heard friend's

fault they knew what they were doing oh my

God I'm calling you out Cur dad oh my God you guys are going to

jail she must have laugh she's not answering Knoxville PD just got a just

got a a warning in your photos and you know her husband was a police officer

oops oh my God that's so funny best night ever never laughed so hard

a so good well this this is life right here

this is what we need to remember yeah yeah that's what I mean that's how I

usually I mean it's hard at times but I usually find I get through it better with laughter than sitting around

crying yeah and you should get through it how you want to get through it that's something I I really wanted to speak to

too is like you know it's nobody's business how you navigate grief and you're going to have besties who are

going to let you repeat it whatever it might be a thousand times you're going

to have people in your life are like how are you not over this yet you're you know like but you get to do it how you

need to do it and I think that's like really super important so you know that

this group is going to let you you know but you you navigate your way through

this however you have to beat the crap out of a pillow laugh

whatever people are gonna get so sick of my posts no they're

not you had a close relationship we're not we need to you know it's special like we're not going to understand the

magnitude of of this person not being here in the physical anymore if we don't

if we don't get to see you know the and read the stories so I don't think anyone

and if they get tired of it it's called scroll

scroll person so yeah that's why I I I'm

finding a lot of um you know it's helping me being with the community so

yeah healing with creativity healing with the creativity community

hwcc in right we just we need another

t-shirt D says this is wonderful and Kristen says she's absolutely here for

you but Kristen please make sure she has her clothes

on can I say what you know how I mentioned that first year I went um when

I finally realized how out there Ginger was she gets up in front of the whole

place at towards the end of the um JTV Workshop or whatever it was called van

and she goes um she was doing a top 10 or something and she goes and I can't

wait to get out of here to take my bra off okay I feel like I was there and how

did did we not meet I don't remember you there it was

in 2017 you know what I honest ly I think I was there you're kidding

Transcript Video 2:

hi there I'm so excited about today I am going to be using the een hole paper crafting Loom

to make a beaded gift topper we're going to be using as I mentioned the loom and

a gorgeous selection of holiday color traditional beads and reds and purples

and greens it's sprinkled with a little blue and so I'm very excited to finish this

project I do have a link that I'll be sharing with you at the end of this

video that will take you right to the first video where I actually

started to make the gift topper so don't worry because I know you're probably looking at this wondering how did she

get there and I'll take you to that video afterwards so without further Ado

let's go ahead and go down to the table so that I can show you I'm going to

scooch over a little show you what I've done and I'm really excited because

today today I feel like this is exactly one of those moments that I always am

preaching about where it's um how weaving is so

meditative and you know just so peaceful and I really was excited to bead with

you you today like I'm always excited to see you and bead with you but today I

really was just hoping um for this moment to come there we go so that we

could really have some time together and I was really wanting to just get into a peaceful state so I put that little

napkin under there because I felt like the green beads were really soaking into the loom so hopefully that helped out um

I also want to just go back and tell you a little bit about what I warped with which is a 0.5 mimer uh hemp cord this

is really nice this is from a company called hemp te and these are size o um 3

O's so they're they're much bigger than let me bring them up a little bit here

much bigger than the 11 O's or the 8 O's we've worked with in the past and that's what I built my basee

with and I've also got some 11o Toho beads I've got the decorative beads from

the kit and I'm using the red Wildfire

so really getting into uh the holiday spirit here I know it's early October

2024 but it's never too early to start creating especially when you're doing

those handmade gifts so I already have

the uh wildfire and my needle are ready to go and I want to come in here one of the

things that I found from the design aspect was I didn't in the end

really like the idea of only using red seed beads I felt like I needed to you

know really break that up so I added some gold and some purple seed beads to

my mix down here and I've taken the needle and I've gone through the first

Beed and the second bead and now I'm out in between the second and the third bead

and so I'm going to pull the needle and thread and I'm going

to start adding some of this new mix right so I've got this whoops where'd it

go got this purple and like a matte gold that I'm putting on my needle and I'm

just going to randomly pick up some beads and all I'm going to

do let me think about this am I going to add a decorative bead I think I'm

probably going to do that let's see I've got how many do I have I have four let's

do five seed beads and then let's go over here now this kit has a variety of

colors like I said I would say it's very traditional in the sense that you've got

like your your Golds and your purples and your Reds and your blues and your

greens some people are probably thinking no it used to only just be red and

green but that's okay I used to have a Christmas tree that um was nothing but a

bunch of items from uh a store called Pier One and I had big old hunk and

butterflies on my Christmas tree um just a lot of really crazy

Whimsy fun items and I loved it okay so

let me bring that up so I could kind of show you see how that's going to add let

me get a little bit better lighting here it's going to add a little bit of a

breakup with all that red I just I really felt like I needed I needed break

from all of the red I was using so once again I'm just picking up the 11

O's um I'm a scooper I was watching I was watching Danielle Wicks um pick up

beads the other day and and she does it differently and Trisha does it differently and I'm sure Joan does it

differently it's it's just really fun to watch how everybody beads and how it's a little bit uh

different so just scooping up the

beads so my idea is that this is going to be a package topper just something

fun that you can add onto your gifts as you are gift wrapping

them and so this is going to be my second Loop and I'm going to go on the right side of that big bead there and

then I'm just pulling through and this is going to create another loop

so the fun thing about this and let me just get the tissue out here for a second the fun thing about this is also

I wanted to show you that when you're working on a project and you you know

maybe you put it aside like I did and then you're like you know what I want to change it up the cool thing and what I

want you to know and understand is that you can right so I had already created

loops on these first two rows and then I got this design feeling that I needed to change

it up a little bit and so you can do that you can go back and you can make changes in the middle so let's just get

that oh and what I need to do now actually is I've got to turn my loom so

this is already looking super cool all right so let's get this under

here so I turned the loom because when I'm creating the loops I'm always

working from the right side so this is my right hand this is my left

hand okay so I'm going to take the needle and thread and I'm coming uh up

and in between that first and second

bead and once again I'm going to pick up some of the seed beads the more seed

beads you pick up the bigger your Loop is going to be and then the less seed

beads that you pick up the shorter and Tighter your Loops will be so it just

depends on your oh don't lose those Jewels just depends on what your design

preference is okay um let's see this is always the

it's the fun part and the challenging part right picking out from all of this

deliciousness what do I want let's do a let's do this lavender bead so I'll pick

up you know the amount of seed beads that I want in this case it looks like I've got what do I have five and then I

picked up what I would refer to as a decorative bead because it's bigger and now I'm going to pick up five more seed

beads so this time I am using some of the red but again I'm trying to get a

little bit more of the purple and the gold just to kind of calm that red

down not that there's anything wrong with it I just felt like I needed to break it up a little

bit okay so then I'm going to go back in

with my needle and I'm coming back through the right side of that big

three and where do I want to put my next one I think I want to do that so I'm going to go through the first the second

and the thir third bead and we'll go ahead and

pull and there's another loop so beautiful this is really

pretty and then we're going to whoops go ahead and scoop

up some more beads

and another decorative let's see oh that's a really pretty flower let's grab

oh well that was did they all just literally come flying

off yes they did oh my goodness okay so fun times fun

times see it happens to things happen to

all of us when we're beating right like all these little things can fly everywhere especially when they're

little so that's so funny okay so let's get a let's get

these guys I'm going to go through the back side of this flower all right now everybody's in

control here yes okay and then we'll go ahead and pick up

some more

and yep that's good and then we are once again going to go on the right side of

that bead and come all the way

out super fun let me bring this up to the

camera okay so you can see that but with all of the loops and the rows like it

really starts to get really fine and wild and it's definitely going to be um

a cool eye-catcher on your gifts and I'm going to pick these guys

up I don't know if you can see them but the the ones that just flew across I'm going to grab them I'm going to grab all

these little guys they're like let me get off of this bead board okay so there's five

and oh but I didn't go through wait where am I at I turned did I turn the

loom I did turn the loom and I oh I see what I did I should have

come down here look at me getting ahead of myself I got so excited to see the little beads that flew off of the

needle okay so we're going to go through that first one got a little

overzealous but all is well there's always there's always a backup there always a backup mode okay

so let's do that again I'm going to come over here and grab these to

fun I'd love to know if you um if you currently like do you make handmade bows

or anything like that for your projects now for your gifts I know some people

who just like go to town on gift wrapping and um I'm also I'm also a part of the

bellcraft holiday event that's coming up on the 20 I think I'm I think I'm on the

24th it's a three-day event and I'm going to be

making some tassels as gift top ERS with

some charms and so I'm usually not the one who does

like fancy gift wrapping but I've kind

of got it in my in my mind to be a little bit more

sparkly this season so you're just going to make you

know your Loops until you're all done so we've got a couple of rows to go by

here and again just picking up the seed beads seeing how many I have and

then um kind of in the middle of this right is this kind of the middle let me

see where am I at kind of to the side middle I wonder if I could do like a

big a bigger fancier bead let's see

let's try this big guy I mean that oh yep that's a big one did I lose

my okay let's go ahead we're going to try to focus on

that big one really quick here let me get that tissue back under

it's so funny how that how this just it it's like this palette is Maring the

wood so much this is kind of Disappearing so got to use this little

white tissue here to make sure you can

see okay so this will be like our first really big bead on this

project yes I love that Lori that's such a that's just a perfect way to explain

it um you know these gift Toppers are really cool accents for your gift

wrapping but they really make a part of the gift right so like this could you

could put a pin back maybe um in a little envelope and then

you could attach that and it let's see where can you purchase the Sor

ribbon um honestly I think some of your purchases for the Sor ribbon Terry are

going to be going to um Etsy and putting in Sor ribbon and you're going to find

so many vendors that um that sell the ribbon and there's just

such really great pricing out there I've tried to carry it before but honestly I

just feel like you could get a better deal um by looking for a vendor in an

Etsy shop because usually it's somebody who's like really they like get it and then they make it themselves so it's

really homegrown so I would do that I'd go to Etsy I would type in um s a r i ribbon

and there's going to be like a ton of shops that come up usually just maybe see like if there's not one that's in

your area right and then you can support a local business

also you know if you've not signed up for the juwel loom newsletter I got to tell you it's a great situation so um

it's really a tool that I use to communicate with you for several

different reasons right obviously I'm letting you know um when we're going

live when you know a new tutorial has been uploaded I let you know when

um when new products have come out it's

also a great way for me to just communicate with you you know many times

like recently when we've had the hurricanes and stuff I really just had it on my heart to reach out and and type

a letter to you so it's it's a variety of communication um if you're not a part of

the newsletter when you sign up you not only get a code for 15% off your first

order but you also are able to download three free

seedbead patterns and they're absolutely beautiful um and so those are free once

you sign up for the newsletter and um if for some crazy reason they didn't

download you know you can always reach out to me and let me know what you need um if you know if that didn't if that

didn't happen but so far it's been working like a gym so you follow the

link um it's right here actually on the YouTube channel on the homepage you can

follow that link and um sign up for the newsletter I don't sell your name I

don't sell your information I'm very very careful about

that I use a um secured Network I use a big fancy email

collector that I pay a lot of money for and so um if you have any of those

concerns please know that I've thought about that and I'm really careful about

all of those things so oh I am so in love let me do this let me do this I got

two more Loops two more Loops I'm super stoked I'm loving how this is turning

out I am so happy that in the beginning I did these longer Loops but let me finish these because I'll speak to the

design that just kind of happened didn't really know where we were going but I'm

lacking where I'm ending up okay so let's see four five and oh

you know what I don't think I've used a a silver these are gorgeous let's grab

this guy whoops come here buddy

all right just want to get some more color in

here so what do we got we got three and let's get a couple more get

some more purple in there okay so on this top row I'm ending

up doing a loop um on every

bead it's like my go bigger go home row

all right so let's get one more in here so

[Music] pretty this would be so we were talking in the free Facebook group earlier um we

had a post about um Kelly Dell had mentioned how we over at

juwel Loom also use the large wisdom Warrior as a production Loom and so what

I mean by that is that will some of us have Joan Amber Trisha um I don't know

if Trisha's done it but I know Amber and Joan and Kelly um Hawkins have used the

large wisdom Warrior as a production Loom meaning that they have created multiple

projects at one time and so these little bad boys this would be a perfect design to

do on the large wisdom Warrior um because you could set up for a bunch of

them and oh my gosh 24 let's see it's 24

inches long I don't know if Joan's up for doing math

um 2 4 in long and if each one of these is like I don't know let's just say two two

Ines let's say three inches overall because of the warp let's say 4

in 4 Ines and 24 that'd be 10

right is that right I think that's

right and so you could and that's just like on one side of the large wisdom Warrior right you could probably warp

two separate um sorry to interrupt that six but you could more than one column

too yeah when I doing those bracelets I did two columns but I could have easily done three or four

columns okay yeah we got to find those pictures we we're looking for some

photos in the um in the uh group okay so I just want

to let me scooch all of this out because I feel like there's so much in that in this Frame

and let me get my let me get back to this guy because I think this really helps to

see and so it's so funny because without really thinking about it look at how all

of these ended up long right and then you have like all of the it's it's like

a whimsical um it's like a

whimsicle like [Music] dragonfly um oh my gosh what am I

thinking a Whimsical like what is that what is that cool bug with like they've

got fancy little bottoms is it a dragonfly or am I thinking a Hummer a

humming bird I'm not sure but I've got total like cool whimsical

like magical I just wish you could like the it's a little it's a little dark I think

that's because of the palette I'm working on but my lands when I tell you that I'm looking at this and I'm

drooling like I'm straight up honest with you like if I don't like something I've done and I'm really happy with this this

turned out a lot better and I'm so happy that I came back and I added more

seedbead color but it's so cool because you know what it's like this is the bottom like this little Whimsical like

um tutu it's like a little tutu oh I know this also reminds me of that flower

what flower am I thinking of like a is it a could it be a Flor Le I don't know

anyway my brain my brain goes like to all these different places anyway I'm super stoked so let

me what I do want to do though is I felt like I needed a

little a little more security with this first row I feel

like it needs I need to take the excess thread here and I'm going to

weave into into these um two rows

here okay whoops you don't want to get the seed bead all right so I'm just going to go back and forth for a hot

minute just really making sure that everything

is nice and secure yeah you could definitely turn

this in to a wearable so like attach it

to your gift and then have it ready somehow to

be turned into a wearable and so that could be with um that could be with and

let me just just let me bring this up for a visual here you could have we could have right

we could have put some in here and down

here all right and then we could have used a slider a slide clasp and that

would have been really stinking cool right so that that would be a fun way to turn a beaded gift topper

into a jewelry piece

and what I was thinking of doing is I got the ribbon clasps out and so I was

thinking about using those on the hemp as my closure now I don't have a salvage

though but it is hemp so I don't know we're going to see what happens all right let

me let me let me let me okay I'm just going to come under

here and

do do a little where you at I think that's what I want okay just do a little knot

there and I'm going to whoa what's happening here wait that's not

good okay we're going to have to is that my is that my oh that's

my I'm cracking myself up okay so I'm GNA have to bring in

my fabulous little tool

here okay

and okay and I'm just using the Wildfire

burner very carefully to turn

these pieces like into little bundled up

knots you just want to kind of very carefully kiss the Wildfire like don't

hold it in place for too long because um you might accidentally burn your warps

and you don't want that nightmare okay so what I'm going to do let's see let's

see let's see I think I'm just going to try to nip I think I'm going to try to nip this

piece and then let's see if I can't walk oh it's

tight jul it a little I don't know

the the thing about this Loom is look at look at the

construction right so the Eileen

Loom and the N Loom have this really really amazing

Construction so there's not like a lot of give so I'm trying to not cut those but I might not

have a choice let me see what's going on over here let me see if I can get a

little yeah well oh oh oh

maybe it's the little things that make me giggle right but man oh man and it's

not a deal breaker I don't know why I'm being such a weirdo I think it's the challenge right

it's just like the can oh see and I did it now I'll be a happy

camper all right let's get these other things out of the way

um I highly doubt we're going to be able to do but who knows to do the

um to do the Danielle trick but you just never know sometimes so

let's for Giggles I think because I did the loops usually it's a little challenging but now if I'm not mistaken

I think we come in oh look at that see yep that's awesome sauce okay so

just pulling so what I'm doing is I came in with my flats and I'm securing the project with

my left hand and I came one warp from

the right hand side over and I grabbed it and I very carefully started to pull

it okay and I'll bring that down and then if I'm not

mistaken this is a it's it's like giving a child um the fire uh sticks at a fire

show right so I can't remember if it's let's see this one's over there and

then what I'm going to try to do is I think I got to do is it this

one oh I think it's that one I think it's this one let's see what's happening

oh right because we're going from top to bottom if I'm not

mistaken okay so I'm just pulling these and you're oh you're going to be really careful when you do this because you

don't want to screw up your um your what Your stuff so the goal is to get all of

these all of these pulled down I think I might be making Danielle proud at this

moment I don't know for sure let's see

here but I think I'm I think I'm actually making myself Pretty stinking

proud okay so we got that now here's where we might have here's where we

might have a boo boo cuz if I try to now

let's see would I pull on this guy I don't think so I don't think that's going to work so I mean I think I did

okay I think I did okay I don't think there's any other options are there no

so this one this one um I think we've done it as

far as we can and I I think the reason why it's not going to go anymore is

because I did the loops and what does that mean to you basically that means

that somewhere along the way because I did all this sewing like when Danielle

does this technique it's typically on a flat project right with no loops and so

you have not accidentally sewn over the warps or into the warps and so pulling

you know in the opposite direction to like make the warps disappear it works

um um you know we got it pretty good but we didn't get it all the way and and that's

fine I'm not going to not going to sweat it but I am going to see for Giggles so

I don't want to pull that oh wait a minute I should be able to pull this guy right but the thing see I

think I think uh yeah in a in a perfect bead world I should have been able okay there

it goes but here's going to be the problem this not this Knot's going to be the problem

and I don't think I can I don't think I can undo that knot

is there any way to undo this knot you guys are probably freaking out

right now aren't you let's this see for Giggles if I

can't because if I can undo this I wonder what would

happen I wonder I wonder I wonder

let me just see I don't have like really massive fingernails you guys okay wait a

minute what's happening what's gonna uh what's gonna

happen oh you have to be kidding me right now I think I think let me see I'm G to be

really oh my hat come on keep going baby keep going don't do this to Mama I know

you got it in you oh what's keeping it from going what do you think is keeping it

from going I feel a little something but the something is up here what's come on now you're so close

you are so close I never bring myself to cut my warps I always want to do oh for the what is happening I don't

see it I don't see why this is not going any further and Brando's outside barking

going come on Mama you can do it what do you think that is I think is it because

I went on those first two rows and I wo back and

forth um I know you got it in you what is

stopping you look at that is it just is it just

I mean it makes no sense that it's not going it's not making sense I don't want

to pull too hard we were so stinking close dude come

on I do not see I do not see and this is not the

side where I did the burner so if you're thinking that no I just it's not

going and I don't want to rip it apart see how it's it's getting stuck

right there and there is no visual it's something something got

sewed you know how Danielle always says make sure you don't puncture your warp I

have a stinking suspicion when I Stitch too tight it won't work for

me huh okay well I did my best and I

don't no I don't know all right so let me go to

plan I didn't really well let me think let me think let me think

um I think that I think that I think that we're

going to have to do that and then and I think we're going to

just do a pretty little knot because this is going to be on the on the topper

on the gift so I'm not oh sorry I was out of the screen and we'll just do like another

one yeah so I must have stitched I must I must have like grabbed

that but that's okay so okay now I am going to have to

do one of these dug Mah hickeys right here that is is a technical

term you're fearless leader over here so I just brought in my needle to

act as a um something to hold this in place so I

can get that I can get the knot as close as possible

okay so kind of got these guys now I mean I'm going to say this is where a

lorry moment would come in Miss plumber and I would say that she is

probably thinking because she's good for this she likes to um she likes to have

these little towels for added in like beads right so I could I could find and I don't know if

there's any in this stash let's see for Giggles let's see if these big guys will

accommodate will they uh I don't know it's really oh oh

okay so we could do what's going on got like weird stuff happening okay that's

fun that's fun okay then let's try let's try over

here these are these are some big guys let's oh but we got to make sure this is

really okay where's this is the trick though cuz if

your cord ravels I might have to do the

um the spit the spit thing okay let's

see see if there's yeah see that's what I was afraid of okay hold

on okay you did not see me do

that let's see here see that first one that first one worked

but but that's fine cuz now we got one cool we got a cool one and then we'll just like do a little knot

here to hold it in place try to get that as close to it all

as I could you not first then I use some hypo and to make a needle

ah smart girl okay I like that do you think that would work on the 0. five um

because I mean the problem is that this 0. five um hemp cord is just it's not

yeah I see what you're saying though if I had some hypo I could you know rub

that together rub the end together put some hypo cement um on the end here and

then like make it into a needle because right now it's just like

fuzzy but I could also what if we cut at an angle without cutting my

finger let's see if we cut a little bit of that off and let's see what

happens oh my goodness yeah I think you probably have the best

resolve but let let's take the needle now and let's see if I can't push it

[Laughter] in they shall make this work Jules I I

made a video on the um jom using a leader needle to get thicker

cords into beads too that's to do I I posted the link in the okay good thank

you I definitely love that idea for sure okay well you know what we're gonna just

have one dangly ball and we're gonna we're just gonna

call it we're gonna call it even I think that you can see that

basically there are some possibilities right just some creative possibilities

and we're not going to like stress out about it all and I would definitely go back into

these little knots I do feel like I need to have a little

um I wonder if this will work look at me I'm being all determined now I shall get

another ball on here was what about this one this is probably way too Way Too

Thin and then I just Ray it okay forget it

don't over complicate it Jules okay

so okay so we just want to try to get that as close as we

can this thing is so pretty I know it's like falina right now but the front of this is like really

gorgeous you know if you put um um oh heck the

um maybe even a magnetic closure on the back of it because I know ladies don't like to get holes in their clothes so oh

my gosh it's so stinking

adorable oh we did get to we did get some we got a big guy right there and one right there let me see um hold on

let me see I do have oh this might look this might be a fun background hold

on does that

look you know what and hold on even one more second look how pretty that

is did that give it a little bit more light oh yeah oh yeah let's bring it up to the

camera so I mean basically so if we have that's the card but

here's you know so if the card is in

here and then we have it attached right look how pretty that

would be and then you can have this on top of the gift um what am I thinking though

about what I really think is that I if I

wanted this to be dual like I wanted this to be a gift and not just a Topper

then I would definitely do a row of the and so and a row of the on the

bottom so that I could use a slide connector and then you would have your Lobster

clasp up top here and then it could become like a pendant right so like a

pendant gift let me um turn down this light and

then I'm going to see what it looks like on the laptop hold on

here

okay okay you want to bring me up really quick JN Be Me Up

Scotty okay oh whoa what was I doing off camera

okay let's see let's see if the lighting sometimes the laptop lighting is a

little little bit different let's see oh yeah you could see the little bit

better but it's so stinking little that you know it's just hard

it is it's just like this cute little this cute little funky I just see like

the little tutu and just like a cute little cute

little bug yeah I I can't I don't think it's gonna yeah

anyway yay oh my goodness hi Gloria and Zach I didn't get to see everybody when

I was down on the table making fabulous things

oh good I'm glad you got your glad you got your sound back yeah but I I like the idea that if

you want to use this as a gift Hopper and then have it reusable obviously for

um for a a wearable uh a wearable I

would do the one row of of the uh on the top and the

bottom of the project and and then use a slide connector because then you'll have

um The Lobster clap clasp and you can you know tell your person the receiver

uh that it could be worn you know as a necklace or something like that so I

love that that would be a lot of fun yeah something quick and easy I like

to um show our paper crafting Community our you know Journal community that when

they're using the Eileen hole Loom and of course you could do this with any one

of the Looms um but in particular if you're you know got the een whole Loom

then you can use it for traditional paper crafting type of stuff and um also

use it for a jewelry wearable so good times good

times so I hope everyone is doing well I know um uh we had we were in Non-Stop

prayers uh last night for all of our Floridian family and friends and uh so

far everybody seems to be okay I know that there was some damage and stuff

like that and we're still um praying for our North Carolina and East Tennessee

I'm not sure Joan could probably speak to how the recovery process in Tennessee is going

um are you good you wanna it's still going on I mean I guess they got like

one lane open on um each side of some of the interstates that are closed but like

I'm still constantly hearing helicopters at night go over our house you know for the rescue in some of the area so oh my

gosh that is so you know on it I mean I guess because they're using the tourist helicopters you know where you can go

out and so I guess they're earning their money during the day and then they fly there at night to take in supplies and

stuff all sudden it seems like when it starts getting dark that's when you start hearing them yeah yeah oh my

goodness that reminds me of 9911 because you know all the fighter jets would they

were the only ones that were flying over Philly and and Jersey and it was just so

you know so crazy but but still just thinking about everyone North Carolina's

got a huge recovery in front of them and you know I was was looking at our

customer lists to to determine but I don't know where all the cities are and so you know

just well the closest one to us really is just down the highway okay and um you

know because it's also up the lake from us so yeah okay yeah because you got close to you you almost had to evacuate

I remember right yeah the back of my neighborhood did the part along the river but luckily it didn't get there

was one neighborhood that got it badly down the road from us but luckily our grounds are high enough to where it only

affected backyard so luckily there oh I'm so happy I know everybody's relieved

to hear that for you so so luckily we see when we first got

married within less than three months our house flooded twice from natural

disasters and so Doug has a thing about making sure that we're on land that won't flood so ours is up pretty high

wow that's crazy twice in three months your house

flooded it the first one was 100 Year FL um flood and the second one was a thousand year flood we almost had the U

first time all fixed up while dislay down the carpet and then it again it was

worse you got to document that somehow because somebody needs to know that

story not everybody goes through that yeah I couldn't believe somebody bought

the house from us a couple years later I wouldn't have oh that's hysterical

because it was also up for sale at the time oh my gosh because he had owned it

you know before we got married oh that's like somebody above was like

you ain't living here yeah you ain't bringing your new bride

into this house Mister well they waited six weeks to do

it the first time Wowzer wow that is something else yeah

that is something else well I'm glad you're you were safe from those two things and and now this third time wow

yeah oh my goodness yeah we're just more concerned about our family in Florida

you know I had told you that so I had my sister really actually you know none of us are from Florida but my sister

happened to live not really from his brother florid oh my goodness so yeah

everyone I my girlfriend lived in the area in P Palm Beach area I guess West or whatever where they had like 53

tornado warnings and I was like are are you leaving and she's like no I'm like oh my

gosh but they're you know they're fine and um you know it it seems that the the

winds calmed and the water cooled and so I know people were just in Non-Stop

prayer so um yeah the tornadoes were really I guess hitting yesterday because

I was hearing yeah somebody I read on Facebook it was a friend of mine that they went through several tornado

warnings in just one day you know and it was different tornadoes yeah that's and

people are funny they're like well you guys get earthquakes I'm like yeah we don't know we don't know when they're coming and we don't want to know well

sometimes a tornado can catch you by surprise when it comes f it comes fast it's not like slow water coming

up you you better go seek shelter right away when you hear it's coming well you

know what I think it just is a big um a big reminder for all of us just to be

prepared for whatever so you know having your water and you know your

certain things on hand whether or not you think you need a generator or not or a power pack I have a list

um I'm even like exploring starlink now I'm like oh gosh I think I need

starlink that's what they're providing starlink to all these disaster areas out

here for free yes it's awesome you Elon doing that it's it's awesome a lot of people are doing a lot of great things

donating millions of dollars and a lot of you know good humanitarian things and people with with

the means to to do things or doing the things so that's good news but yeah yeah

got to have your got to have your uh your little I don't know what your um oh

heck your little thing to cook on and and uh and some water I'd have to

have coffee or somebody would get hurt you know right now we used to say oh well we got our gas stove we could cook

on that right now I don't think we have anything to cook on that doesn't involve electricity yeah yeah unless we use our

fire pit people were using their fire pits I did see that in the Carol in North

Carolina like there were people definitely using their fire pits to me you got to do what you can gotta do yeah

well you just do you know it's a good idea to like probably have like I said like probably some things like a grill

or something even if it's a camp Grill yeah like I'm you know I'm all I'm all

in for that you know me I'm like I'm like I'm like one one step away from buying a van

we've been watching this one guy he's remodeling his van into an RV I mean he bought a van just to do that though when

uh well his wife has Alzheimer's and so you know they know she's gonna pass away he's doing it to keep his himself busy

you know what I mean for her and so that's what he's gonna do what theyve always plan to do is um travel the

United States a but that's it's cool seeing you know he's working on that

converting it yeah no that I I am in awe especially of

the women who do it and let me tell you there's a lot of women who are who are

are VI Vanner no matters like there's a whole language for these people that

live like outside of a home and I super

loved living on the boat and um I don't want to do that again

but um unless it was with the right person

uh some sexy pool guy oh sexy pool guy

look at Joan upleveling my future dang girl thank

you wow I didn't have that on my list yeah

that just came out of my mouth I know it did I

know gonna fall out I'm okay with it oh

so funny okay Lori says that a friend of hers just got a mini RV and she and some friends go all over I'm I I don't know

if I said this out loud last week but seriously like I'm going to see Josh in

November right and honestly if I could just like if I had a

van I would just drive back out to the east coast I know I love driving like I

am not I am not a wimp when it comes to that like I got my plan I know how to I

find me a trucker I like get behind my trucker you know and I and I never you know I stop

before um Sundown and I just like have everything organized and I could

definitely you know do that and so um Volkswagen it's a Volkswagen

I'll have to get the type of it but they do a bigger version of a van but I'm so

little like I'm so afraid that if I go too big I won't be able to see and so I

kind of feel like that's why you test drive it I know but I just I don't know I and

then again I've been behind the Helm of a 51 foot yacht so I don't know what my problem and actually actually I think

I've been behind the Helm of an even longer boat but um yeah I

don't yeah watch out watch out so anyway you know I really eny that

you can do that because I don't think I could travel the roads by myself really I would have to I mean all by myself I

would have to have a partner with me I would love to travel this country but I would have to have a partner with me

yeah I don't know I mean when I came back last year across the country by myself with Marlon Brando you know again

I just I had to the what I did do was Joshua and I had just you know three

months or whatever before that had done it and so

I I stopped at the places that Josh you know my son and I stopped at so it was

kind of like I was repeating a pattern um but I also just got a system in place

you know like I I would follow a trucker that seem to be going my direction you

know I would get off at really big rest stop areas where there were a ton of

people because you know their safety and numbers right um I'm sheep dog trained

so I'm always you know got my eyes open behind my head on top of my head every

where I don't carry but you know oh I shouldn't say

that I did not say that I did not um I'm with Joan I would need a

friend well you know what it just sounds like I have to come pick you ladies up yeah there you go I'll go to Vegas pick

up Rosalinda and then you'd have somebody most of the ride here yeah I

mean you wouldn't be by yourself very long before picking up Rosalinda no because then I don't know

we'd end up probably picking up who else along the way

Ros yeah Oh you mean I went from California to Vegas yeah that's yeah

that's easy that's easy with me that's more than halfway across the country

yeah yeah I don't know I I I here's the thing when you travel this country and

you're on the 40 for instance like you see so much land and your mind

is just like you cannot believe that there is still so much land that is

undeveloped and raw and it's a trip it's just it's so and then I love how every

state communicates to its drivers in a different way like there some states and

they would like tell quirky little stories on their boards about

I was like seriously who pays somebody to do that Tennessee doeses that cute little thing to do something oh yeah

because when I first M here I thought it was hilarious oh my gosh it it's so there's just so much to see and do and

um you know and then there's nothing like stopping and getting real

jerky on the side of the road you're kind of beef jerky right

well I wouldn't get beef jerky I'd get turkey jerky or well okay I just wanted to make sure yeah why is could have been

taking two or three way you either got really weird on the side of the road oh

I don't know what y'all are doing in Tennessee but I'm just talking about jerky that you

eat that's all that's all I'm talk about well that wasn't how i v it

there I guess you could take it like three ways I guess so my God we we

haven't even left and we're in jail all right Rosalind there's a route that starts

from LA and it goes through to the east coast didn't know that well isn't that Route

66 um there is one that I know it goes to there's one that goes to California

to Tai Island Georgia which is outside of Savannah okay and I can't remember the name of because it's the one we take

once we get close to Savannah and they have it on the roads sign you yeah wow

you I mean I'm sure there's others does 40 go to um Interstate 40 go to

California yes it comes right in see that's right by my house oh yeah no no no you would take yeah you just like you

go this way and then you're on top you can go you can go this way through the desert and then it like takes you up to

Flagstaff and then you're like you're like you go over and then there's New

Mexico and then you have the top of the Texas

boot yeah that little handle up there at Texas I forget what it's called I mean

I'm still in love with Vega why am I so in love with Vega you know that yeah we broke down in

Vega Texas oh that's right you named a kid after it I did name a kit after it

and then we went into no I think that's when you would dip down into Tennessee I

don't know I'm already lost well Tennesse goes all the way across because well it doesn't go all the way across

Ross it it's it comes from North Carolina up and then starts going across all the way across to

um um when it gets to Memphis what's on the other side of Memphis is that I

think it's Oklahoma because I think I could go straight there and get almost to

Nay I think if I remember right Tennessee the top of Tennessee is

Kentucky Kentucky Virginia and Virginia side is Arkansas

and then oh it's Arkansas that's right that police show people are coming from Memphis into Arkansas that's right yeah

I think you have to go through I I know Missouri is only like eight hours from

Tennessee or six yeah Missouri's not that far away from Tennessee up up in the north yeah I just don't know how you

get to if you have to go through Kentucky or not I don't know but I'm seeing a road trip in our future

[Laughter] you know it'd be really fun is you get you get the east coast

south posi together and I get the West Coast

posy together and then we figure out how to meet in the middle like that would be

so funny and fun oh that would that would be fun and then nobody's

alone yeah nobody's alone we're all together

trouble but I would even it'd be fun to rent a bus and take a bunch of people I

don't like it was a different person every day or even I don't like buses buses make me want to

puke I am more being a bus than I am an airplane put me in an airplane from like

I will do international travel any day in an airplane I do not like bus okay well how about a van where at least six

people can sit in it yeah like if I'm I'm okay with a van I just don't like a bus we need to leave

room for luggage too you pack light on these trips I

don't know how oh my God I'll have to teach you I'll will have to teach you all

right Rosalind is in Rosalind is in yeah I saw that Ilana will come up and and

grab all of the the Floridians and and Lori will grab all the all the

people from the east coast and oh gut Lane said she's from

Australia and she drove California to Vegas on her own and they dve in the left at at Australia wow see I'd be

wanting to get on the wrong side of the road all the time especially when you're getting

tired yeah I'm not I yeah that's that's a tough one I've never driven a car

overseas and I want to I don't either I I'd probably be kicked out of the country pretty quickly yeah you would

you would definitely you'd be in jail they're not even Gonna Let You Go they're just gonna keep you and put you

in jail all right next week um I do believe
