  • Oh I did ... LOL. I thought it was a great compliment and not at all creepy ... snort.

  • You are very clear and that is a great idea for a tutorial. I will work on how to do a double wrapped loop as soon as I can. I really appreciate the suggestion it is a good one! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.

  • Yes they do and then it no longer swings so you have to hold the brio in the position you want it to stay in if you are going to wrap or surround the briolette with wire.

  • I only use dead soft wire - yes.

  • So you're using all dead soft wire?

  • Wonderful. I was struggling last night to make this very thing. You make it look so simple. Thank you.

  • @MagpieGemstonescom I hope that you take my comment about your hands as the compliment it was meant to be :D

  • @MagpieGemstonescom Thanks very much for getting back to me and no need to apologize! I look forward to seeing your tutorial. I really enjoy watching you do your thing ;) And you have such nice hands to watch too...hope that doesn't sound creepy lol

    I have place a couple of orders from you and the beads that I received are fabulous! I have to control myself when I go to your site.

  • oh, not using briolets, but round or like the ocean jasper that you used in your wire wrapped loop tutorial. I am not being very clear am I? Sorry!

  • Hi Szarka,

    Your vids are very helpful.

    Would you be able to do a tutorial on how you do a double wrapped loop please? I may not be saying it clearly. What I mean is when you showed us how to do a wire wrapped loop, they were single loops that were wrapped. I would love to see how you would make 2 loops and then wrap them. Thanks very much!

  • Thanks for this. Especially double wrapping that top loop. I've got some gorgeous briolettes that will accommodate 28 gauge wire at the most and my previous efforts have rendered a pitiful wire mass too frail to even consider wearing.
