oh Lord I wish I had RU-vid when I was a child. I would bead all sorts of designs and give them away because it made ppl happy. I was so little and made some professional looking jewelry. i wish now I had money to go and buy myself all the different threads and wire, a brand new set of tools and cases and looooads of glass beads. thank you so much for rekindling my love for beading
Jill, you are a great teacher. I really appreciate how you explain the possible pitfalls as you go along. These earrings are quite lovely and yes, they would make great gifts. Thank you again so much.
Girl you are fabulous, funky fresh, fantastic. Your detailed instruction, helpful hints and explanations of why to and why not, will keep frustration to a minimum and education to a maximum. Extremely beautiful work. You are an excellent instructor, very pleasant. I have been intimidated by bead weaving, now I may have the courage and patience to try. Thank you for your selflessness. May God bless you always. kimberly, queens, ny
You do such beautiful work and have such a great way so explaining things my seven year old loves watching you. We spend once a week at Mommy and daughter time watching and doing your videos. Thank you and keep them coming.
I really love how you make these tutorials very easy for beginners and down to earth. Thank you so much. I actually made these earrings with you and wow all the different things that can be done when you learn the basics of stitching. Thanks!!!
these are gorgeous....they work up really quickly....and the big plus is just to the curve makes a very pretty earring....so its a two in one pattern....Love them THANKS for sharing Jill
My 3 daughters and sister-in-law loved these as Christmas gifts this year. I experimented with triangle and hex beads, metallic and matte finishes for some very satisfying results. Thank you Jill.
I just love your videos. You make the most beautiful jewelry and your explanations and the way you teach make it easy to understand and to follow along. I have made so many beautiful pieces and you are the teacher. I use my iPad and I am able to pause and go back when I need further clarification. I wish I could take a class from you in person. That would be awesome! Out of all the videos I have watched, you are the BEST teacher and so creative. I am trying very hard to make the Russian Leaves, so far that's the hardest thing for me and I am only a beginner, but not for long. Thank you for sharing your gift with us!
I absolutely love the fact that you made a free downloadable file so I can print it and use these together to "get" the project. I was looking at another video yesterday and thought to myself, " I wish she could just send me the instructions," because I got lost in the video 3 times. Thank you for your ingenuity!
Love this pattern. Made these with 2 6mm the 8/0 were pale pink as welll as the 15/0 and the 6mm was a pale pink pearl. Turned out perfect giving to my daughter in law for Easter. Thank you soooo much for sharing.
I wanted a simple earring for a pre-teen girl and this was perfect for her. Back to basics can do the trick beautifully. Thanks so much Jill. I love your tutorials.
Went to your channel for some gifty earring ideas and you never disappoint! These earrings are even more beautiful in person--and they work up so quickly! I whipped up three pairs for friends as holiday gifts and I'm thrilled with the results. Also, I made a "mini" pair using 15/Os instead of 11/0s, charlottes, and 4mm pearls for a friend who likes smaller-sized earrings and they turned out beautifully! Definitely need a magnifier for this one, but it's worth the effort. Dainty and exquisite. Thank you, Jill, for sharing your genius.
Your video was so nice because there wasn't useless chatter! Love a tutorial that gets straight to the project. The earrings look fabulous! As for "stitch in the ditch", it's actually a sewing term for quick sewing just under a hemline to hide what you're doing. I find it amusing that it's always in beadwork. C: Definitely going to watch more of your stuff!
Hi Jill! Okay, I'm hooked... literally! I have told myself over and over again that I do not have time to do this type of beading! But it just looks so RELAXING and the results are AWESOME! And those just happen to be two of my favorite adjectives! lol... I've always been a huge fan of yours and love Kumihumo. So now, I've saved this video so that I can learn Right Angle weave as ***** (that's five stars there missy!) Thanks for sharing!
I am soooo excited! I learned a new beady technical term: The sticky outy bead .... how cool is that?! I just love these earrings. My Beading Without Bras group meets tonight so I'm going to make a few pair of these and I'm betting several other ladies will want to make a pair as well. Thanks for another wonderful video.
I love your sticky-outy term., it makes it very clear which bead to stich through. The earrings are beautiful. I was thinking of making a longer strand and attaching it to a chain for a necklace. Even the curve, before adding the pearls, extended longer and and with a chain would be beautiful.
Dear Jill i think these earings are excellent, i would like to make these and also make a matching necklace to go with them using your same design, your a really good instructor, easy to follow, thank you so much for sharing this, im going to start following you on youtube to watch all, your instructional jewelry vids, thankyou, Laura liverpool england, in uk
Hi ! Want to take this time to tell you that I really enjoy watching you. Your a real great teacher thank you for helping us newbees! Lol thank you sue
Yes I finished a pair of this beautiful ear rings . I liked it so much. Thank you very jill for your clear and neat instructions. It is very easy follow. Thank you so much once again for sharing all your tutorials.
These simple, but elegant earrings are the perfect gift-giving idea for the Holidays. They look really fun to make to coordinate with everything from jeans to little black dress. Perfecto!
As always your videos are great. You do such beautiful work, and I appreciate your extra advice about areas to pay special attention to so the projects will look professional. I just ordered one of your bracelet kits and it arrived so quickly! I can't wait to make it. Thanks!
Love the instructions u give on this video (haven't seen any of ur other videos yet, but I did subscribe). Great explanations without being overly wordy! Can't wait to see more of your stuff! Very talented/ pretty earings. Thanks a bunch!
Love your tuts!!!! I'm just starting to collect some beads and findings; I can't wait to start on my first project! Thank you for making such clear, easy-to-understand tuts.
I made two pairs of these with Fireline 4 pound thread. I couldn't get my right angle as tight or together as yours. However, the earrings turned out better than I thought they would. I also used 3mm gems mixed with size 8 SB for my large edged side. They are beautiful! Thanks for the idea. I love all your videos!
What a wonderful pair of earrings. I read the last message from Maggie and she asked the same question I was going to ask. Can you make them longer. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful pattern!!! I will take your advise and make lots of them.
Thank you! It'sfun to do these earrings! Instead of using 8 mm I used DP28-4201 Duracoat galvanized silver beads.It made a great effect! You are telling everything very well.
Love these earrings Jill! I also like the fact that you provide options throughout the video. Really liked the option of adding 2 pearls (vs. 3) for a slightly shorter earring. These are the things I just don't think of myself. Please keep on doing these...I find them very helpful. One additional note -- every once in while when doing a stitch, the piece moves low and out of frame. I noticed it in Part 2 of the Whirlygig Earrings. (I also had the CC on at the time which didn't help.)
Jill thanks for sharing this valuable information and useful greetings from mexico, I congratulate your work is beautiful thanks for sharing these tutorials
Hi Jill. I tried this one with a few variations so it is not exactly like yours I think I may add this to a necklace I have made that I called "After Midnight". I am finding your videos very helpful and educational. Thank you for passing on the things you have learned over the years of trial and error you have has to work thru.

Thank's what a big heart you have you start to gave to your fans Gifts just in time for Xmas,You're an Angel,my Angel LOL. Bye!
Jill, I have made quite a few of these with a twist... I have also used the "pattern" to make beautiful necklaces. I am going to see if I can add pics to show you- not real good camera and I don't want to show the public because I am not that good.
Hello again Jill! These are really cute. How long are they? Can you make them longer? I just love, love them. thank you again for this cute earring tutorial. Always looking forward for next vid.
Love this design, this is the first video of yours that I've watched, I'm a budding jewelry designer/maker. I saw a lot of possibilities for expanding on this design, and am hoping to obtain your permission to do so:)
