I'm an experienced beader, less experienced maille-er, and you did just fine! No need to apologise for your beading skill set, your maille is absolutely amazing. I have some lovely faceted aquamarine beads, much smaller, and I want to resize this to work with those beads. I'm loving your videos from the Pacific North West, USA!
I am a beader , much more than I am a chainmailler, and I just love this project! Thank you so much for sharing. I think Soft Flex beading wire is an excellent choice and I work with it frequently. They are a local and very successful company here in the greater San Francisco Bay Area where I live. I am super proud of their success and their great quality stringing materials. They are in business now for many years. Now I am off to find some special 6 mm round beads to make this bracelet! Again, much appreciation to you 🙏🏻
I do all kinds of wirework, beading, and I'm learning maille. Your bead work is just fine! Its because I'm experienced that I ALWAYS cut my wire waaaaay too long. Good call! Like you said, you can always cut off the excess, but if the wire's too short, you're bummin'. Excellent choice of crimps. The beading wire you chose is a good, multi-purpose wire. Perfect for this application. Can't wait to try this gorgeous pattern! I'm really enjoying incorporating maille into my jewelry making! Very restful! HUGZZZ!
Thanks Sherryl, that is all good news. I hope you continue to enjoy your maille, it always looks that extra special when you can include beads I think. Deb
Just watched this video and I love the bracelet. Would love to see some more may be one for men. I am from Barbados and now learning about the Jewelry making. I am mostly doing beading.
Hi Deb! Those dang crimp beads always seem to have mind of their own. I still fight with them even though I have used them for years. You did a great job. Love the bracelet! Stay safe. We will get through this.
Thank you for sharing. Beautiful bracelet. I think even i could attempt and hopefully succeed making one as beautiful as yours (complete fails whenever i attempt using wire to make jewellery). 😂
Hello Deb. Another beautiful creation, it looks like a cuff, very pretty, like to make it. Deb, I was looking at your spiral 6-in-1 tutorial, I don't have audio, can you please let me know the sizes of the half round rings and do you carry them? Thank you so much.
