Paige Hemmis is showing you how to make a beautiful suncatcher using only a handful of materials. Get more Home & Family How-To's here: www.hallmarkcha...
What struck me about this video is who on earth has never heard of a suncatcher? lol. I'm 63 years old and have heard of these my entire life. Wow, that's just weird.
FYI, the type of crystals she's calling "bicones" aren't bicones. Bicones are a shape of a crystal. I think she meant to say "faceted" which does throw rainbows/colors around the room. I can imagine remembering your words while filming could be difficult, I just wanted to let people know in case they want to run out and buy the items needed to make this project (which is beautiful btw).
😅 Came here looking for this comment. As someone who makes jewelry and suncatchers, I caught that immediately. These materials can be somewhat expensive. Beautiful project, and I wouldn't want anyone to waste money buying the wrong materials (although it is possible to make a Tree of Life suncatcher with bicone beads).
I’m really not interested in the presenters. More detail on how to make the thing step by step, with the focus on hands rather than chat, would be much better.
It's so funny the way life works sometimes. I just ordered that exact hanging prism with all the little crystals from Amazon and I got it yesterday and I was asking myself, what kind of Suncatcher can I make with this. Well thank you very much RU-vid.... and I just so happen to have one of those 10 in rings as a base. It was meant to be!
Happy New Year, Last year when this episode: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-stbCwct4z-g.html aired on Hallmark’s Home and Family, I commented on Instagram’s Home and Family and Paige Hemmis’s accounts. These comments were deleted. I was not disrespectful did not use inflammatory language. My issue with Paige Hemmis is calling Native Americans her “people". She states she is part Cherokee without stating if she is enrolled in a Cherokee Tribe. At the very least, she is a distant distant distant distant descendant of native people. Researching her background, I came across this in her blog, which aired on the Hallmark’s Home and Family as well: www.paigehemmis.com/portfolio-item/how-to-make-your-own-dream-catcher/ In this blog she states "My great-grandfather, Benjamin, was American Indian and part of the Cherokee Indian tribe. I’ve grown up surrounded by turquoise and other subtle Native American fun stuff…(Actually, the turquoise necklace that I wear every day was from my grandfather, Bill or “Poppop” as we called him.) But I’ve never had a Dream Catcher myself…until now.” First off, was her great-grandfather an actual enrolled Cherokee, and if so which tribe? I find her describing Native American fun stuff, flippant. Also Dream Catchers are specific to a few Native Tribes and has been appropriated to use as Boho style. In the future I think Paige Hemmis needs to use language around being Native American with a specific Federally Recognized Tribe. She also needs to do thorough research before she presents her “Native Crafts” which are appropriated. I’ve seen great strides in Hallmark’s Christmas movies showcasing people of color. I have yet to see any Native American stories. Also during Native American Heritage Month, it would be great to see a movie about Native Americans or have actual enrolled Natives as guest to showcase our excellent artists and craftsmen. Best, Lisa Patencio
