[TheDxylvr]

Hello, I have tried several times, I am having trouble stepping up the second time, the area around knot looks clumpy, I know I am doing something wrong, do you have rivoli after 2nd row? THANK you so much, love your work, gorgeous earrings

[tsummerlee]

@TheDxylvr  Practice practice!

[TheDxylvr]

@tsummerlee

thank you!

[kayward]

You did not mention increasing or decreasing?

There must be decreasing ? The hole do get smaller...

[tsummerlee]

@kayward For this I use bead size reduction. 

[alomo3]

Can you please tell us how you got into beading, great work.

[Beautyforhire]

ur work is fabulous ty for teaching us

[goodboyrg21]

Hey teresa,

You are too adorable!!! When you finish this do you tie a knot or just weave the thread in all directions and cut it off???

[tsummerlee]

@goodboyrg21  I like to weave it around, and then cut, but you can make several half-hitch knots in several places and then cut. :)

Oh my GOD!! THAT's what they're called! You have no idea how long I've been looking for the name of these!

[tsummerlee]

@Phronesis7 LOL! Everytime I see the word I want to say "ravioli." Beading Italian food is delicious, and beautiful... *snort!*

[Phronesis7]

@tsummerlee Hahaha! I thought the same thing when I saw the name!

[createdgift]

[tsummerlee]

@lesley10ful It does take some practice, but they're so popular and pretty. I flubbed and got frustrated when I first tried it, too.

[sharlicious123]

gorgeous! i'm having a hard time doing these:(

[tsummerlee]

@sharlicious123 Ooooh, I know. It can feel so weird, like you need three hands, but it does get easier the more you practice.

[fandelesluthiers]

Oh and I love that earring at 9:15, could you make a tutorial for those?

[tsummerlee]

@fandelesluthiers Sure. But I'm going to do a beaded fan earrng next.

[fandelesluthiers]

Where do you buy these? Do you buy them online?

[tsummerlee]

@fandelesluthiers a very good source is rainbows of light dot com

[fandelesluthiers]

@tsummerlee Do they have international shipping?

[jumpinjacksflash]

ohh I enjoyed this and found it inspirational, thank you for sharing :))

[satilrak]

Thanks for this awesome video :)

[angelsoulnme]

I have the 12's but didnt know how to bead them I was planning on learning but I have to some 15's - I have the 11 delica's but I need the 15's :)

[tsummerlee]

@angelsoulnme You can always just do a count reduction instead of using 15,'s too. Add one delica, skip the next space, add another delica, skip the next space, etc. Then add a delica in the skipped spaces. 12mm Rivolis are kinda small for that, but it does work.

[angelsoulnme]

You are so sweet! I just bought my first set of rivolis! 

[tsummerlee]

@angelsoulnme What size did you get? They come in tons of colors, too. I love em.

[digsart]

Very charming idea! Thank you sweetie! :X
