I’m not saying this to be mean, but to let you know what a viewer thought and to give you something to think about. The video is too chatty in the beginning. You talked for over 7 minutes before starting the tutorial. You can lose the viewer in that length of time. The jewelry pieces themselves are very nice.
Thank you for your suggestion! I value your opinion! I can cut it down but not completely out, this is not my career, it is my way of sharing myself and hopefully getting to know others in this community ❤❤❤
@@jodykrontz I’m so glad you took my criticism in the way that I meant it - only to be constructive. Please, you & the others keep doing what you do - keeping Wendy’s memory alive and showcasing your own unique talents.
Jody…you keep doing you! You are special. I love your creativity and designing on the fly. It encourages me to relax and not be so hard on myself. I am new at this ( though I am 77 years old now). I just recently made my first necklace ever. I wish I had your courage in stepping out as you have done! Thank you. By the way, you remind me very much of Wendy…she touched so many people. We all can aspire to do as much and touch each others lives as she did.❤
You are amazing and I love your designs. You are way to hard on yourself, you are awesome and doing a wonderful job. when I do memory wire and not loop one end before I start I use a plastic earring backing that will keep the beads from falling off . thank you for being so awesome. Just remember if it can go wrong it will when you are on camera. :)
Love how you put different beads and shades of colors together , creating the most perfect bracelets and necklaces! I have gone back through my bead stash and found some combinations I would never have thought about before! Really enjoy your content!
I think if people remember Wendy always spoke a lot to her viewers and we loved her that’s the way we got to know her so you do you the way you feel comfortable
You are so sweet just like Wendy. No way I know what I have in beads and supplies. My beads are out of control 😂And I’m super organized just not with my beads. But when I’m ready to make something I pull it together. Love what you did with the memory wire. I get so intimidated with memory wire. I will try again Thank you:)
Hi just got back into beading I have so much of everything. I love this video cos I have memory wire and beads that would do this idea. Thank you. I don't think you talk to much as when you live on your on it's nice to have someone chatting.
This set is beautiful something Wendy would make . I really miss her but you and her friends are doing a great job on her channel. She was a great inspiration to me and taught me a lot. I truly miss her.
I have never thought of making memory wire bracelets! I really have to try it! And i have struggled with things like that that should have been easy lol... As for remember what I need? I think ok, its easy, get to the store and poof out the window lol.. i need to "write that down" (from the little girl in the movie Daddy Daycare lol) Hope you have a most amazing day today! ~Laura
Hi Jody, I turned my you tuve early this morning, and i was so glad to see you had a tutorial with memory wire. Im going to try it I loved what you made i absolutely loved the beads you picked for both sets. I enjoy your company and listening to you talking to us and getting to know you. I have cats so i loved that you are an animal lover too. You should see what i do to create shelter for the cats in my neighborhood for the winter. I spended hours yesterday creating A place for them with electric pads and protection from the cold. Dont change a thing. You are so sweet and so easy to listen to. Im so glad Wendy from heaven put us together. You make me feel the same peace i felt when i watched her tutorials. Im so glad to be one of your fans and admire. You are precious. Thank you Jody 😊 Have a blessed day. Be safe
@waytruthlife66 Hi Chris, Your wife became my very dear friend, I absolutely loved her. She never knew me nor knew of me, but she was such an inspiration in my life. I remember her telling us how much she enjoyed washing dishes. 😂 I liked when she said that because I love washing dishes too. I don't mind washing dishes after a party or dinner everyday. I loved her tender way of telling her little stories about everything, She made me laugh. She was truly wonderful. a Sweet and precious woman. An angel on this earth that touched so many with her talent and sweet personality. Still so hard for me to Comprehend the why of such tragedy. Because of our faith in God we know that she is before Jesus and enjoying the glory of heaven and paradise. But the fact that I miss her is my reality on this earth . I thank God we can continue to hear her voice and enjoy her tutorials I have been watching her videos everyday just to hear her voice and watch her create. No matter how much my faith helps me to acept this tragedy my heart 💔 still hurts and I miss her here with us. I'm so happy that you are keeping her channel alive and going. I truly enjoy Jody very much. She is a sweetheart and I'm getting to know her because of Wendy. I'm so glad I had the chance to let you know how deeply Wendy touched my soul. Bless you Chris and all of her Family. My heart breaks 💔 thinking of your sweet and precious saidy still thinking that Wendy will come home . She most be heart broken too.😢 Please be safe Chirs. Rosario
This is so very true …these words Rosario you typed are the God’s honest truth I am sure so many of us feel about our dear friend Wendy.❤ I also remember her saying how much she disliked spiders 😬 One of her last videos she had me laughing because she had to pause the video and deal with one of her sons “ shenanigans “😂 We will always miss her.❤❤ Jody you are doing a great job being yourself. Chris you and your family are in my prayers Thank you for Wendy’s channel still continuing.😊
I don't inventory but I keep a list of items that I am almost out of. I mostly order bead boxes or bulk glass beads because I am new to beading and definitely on a smaller budget than I want. I have only used ring sized memory wire. You first set is beautiful. 😍 Gray and purple really look great together. I don't have much in gray. I don't like the rings for opening your jump rings. I think if you started using one you might like it. However I started with pliers and I still use pliers. I am pretty sure memory wire is sold in 50, 100, and 500 loop packages.
LtBabyLegs.....u r a very cruel person. Anyone can tell that u r a very unhappy person to speak so nasty of someone. Jody is a super kind person. U can tell by the way she talks. Why dont u just NOT WATCH or fast forward and not say- such nasty words to someone. It really hearts the heart.
💙💚🖤 I loved getting to know you! Everything you made is beautiful. My favorite was the single strand blue and green memory wire bracelet. The blue green shell chips are to die for!!! Can you tell me where you purchased them? Thank you.❤
You sound kind of unsure if yourself in this video. Let me tell you, you should not feel that way because I love watching you make jewelry. You are one of my favorites and everything you make turns out beautiful. 😊
Jody, these are all beautiful. In the future, would you please measure your necklaces and put them on a bust for us so we can see how long they are and how they fall? I look forward to the next video in this series. I'm always looking for nice ideas to make jewelry. Thank you! ♥
I hadn't thought of using memory wire for some bracelets for my fall festival. I've got two days, so I am going to make some bracelets and earring sets. Don't apologize for struggling, we all do. I cannot tell you how many times I have dropped things in the floor or pulled my wire out of my beads. It's normal. You are doing a good job and I enjoy watching your videos. I also wanted to say, Sam's Bead Box is so good. This months was beautiful! I had to put my subscription on hold because I am losing my job next month, my boss is selling his company, but as soon as I am able I will start it again. I love everything I get from Sam. I have some of the necklace wire but have not used it. I think if I used it I would do half of a loop and then use chain to close it with. I also have some memory wire for rings but I haven't tried that either. I will have to give it a go. Thank You for sharing with us!
I’m glad I’m not the only one! I’m so sorry that you are losing your job! Praying that you find everything you need! I am def getting the Sam’s bead box! ❤❤
Thank you. I will have to find another job for a few years until I retire. Don’t be sorry, I am ok with it. I have had this job for about 20 years and I am kinda burned out, and ready for a change. It will be fun to see what God has in store for me next!
Hi, I have enjoyed this series so much. The colors fit my taste and have many new ideas . Please continue making these videos. Do you share them in any other place? I really like your taste.
love the design. i have one suggestion. to prevent the wearer from being stabbed by the half moon, how about rolling the bottom end and adding a small bead there at the end.
The bead scupper is so neat. I have 2 different ones. 1 has tweezers on the other end the other has a reamer on the other end. I can't tell you where they came from since I they were my sisters and after she past away I got them. I love the 1 with the tweezers since I have nails and I use them to also hold beads .
Beautiful sets. The second set is my favourite, I think Blue and Green looks great together, it reminds me of Peacocks 😊 I don't use memory wire much, but now I feel like I need to get it out and create 😅
A friend gave me the same unicorn doll you have, Bubbles the rainbow unicorn. So cute. I taught my godmother how to make memory wire bracelets. She's really enjoying the variety of bracelets she can make. I've graduated to polymer clay and resin and I make focal beads for her designs.
Awe! I love that we have the same unicorn! It’s so awesome that you are teaching and making something unique! Is there somewhere I can find your designs with the polymer clay and the resin?
Judy, I had only been watching Wendy for about 3-4 months before she passed. Very sad! I appreciate what you and her other friends are doing to keep her memory alive! This tutorial was something I had never seen before. I really hadn't thought to make anything other than bracelets. I am so glad you used a half round of memory wire for a necklace! I had no idea how to use the Corian chain (sp?) at all. Thank you so much!! I like your choices of colors!!😁
I've gotten all of Sam's boxes since he started them. Every box has been amazing. I have never been disappointed, I always feel I got a wonderful value and there's always something special I've gotten a number of different box subscriptions and IMO Sam's is the best. Make sure to take advantage of his 1st box discount code. Also if you haven't join his live sales on Tuesday at 5pm PST and Thursday at 3pm you definitely should. Beautiful work BTW
Beautiful sets. I appreciate that you show your struggle. We can all relate. I really enjoy watching your videos. Your idea for the chain reaction is genius. I love how it coordinates instead of being so matchy I am InSpiRed
I have had memory wire forever and only just made my first wrap a couple of months ago. I also found a pair of memory wire cutters on sale so that I don't ruin any of my good cutting pliers. They are a must have for this stuff. I am looking at making a few for the upcoming holidays to use up some bead soup and stash beads. Thank you for showing how you set up your designing ideas. 💖
The first time I tried memory wire was 15 years ago (ish) and it was too small, but I love it in the large size. I drive a semi and have little time to bead and memory wire fits my time constraints and memory wire bracelets are easy to put on. In a very not girly job, its my bit of girly.
Okay! We get it! You have A LOT of stuff! Stop bragging. Very malicious showing all you have to us viewers who most likely have nothing but maybe dental floss and clipped toenails… now I wanna give up beading and arts and crafts… you win you managed to bully me from your video and ultimately arts and crafts… I’ll never forget this I’ll design the rest of my life around this tragedy that you helped create!!!
