Oh. My. Gosh!!!! I'm studying Occupational Therapy and I looove copper. I bought 18 gage copper wires, 2 years ago, still beautiful as ever. I am obsessed!!! If you don't mind I am sharing this with my Professor as well as students!! We're doing "Activity Analysis", not only that copper had been my love, I bought chains, bracelets, I didn't think I could do them myself. You just inspired me, it means so much, thank you and wishing you blessings, light, and positive vibes 🙏 your work is simply stellar! They are beautiful!!! My mom passed away at 62, two years ago, she gave me a heart brosh with amethyst, citrine stones and I cherish it so much. We used to wear "mother"-"daughter" half-hearts charms, like best friends... because she lived far from me...I'd send her heart jewels and each time I visited her she'd send me off with another...oh gosh I'm crying.... Heart was "our thing" , when she passed, there was a cloud in the shape of a heart...I caught it on camera as I was crying and I noticed the sky on my patio...and anyone that looks at it gets chills because it's a full on heart! I cherish each moment with my mom, she was my world, still is, but sharing the hearts with all my classmates and professor for an activity would mean so much(as I'm crying at this time), you're an inspiration. I'm so glad I stumbled across your videos, they are truly copper, more than gold, and my mom would be so proud. I cannot thank you enough. Inspiring. Thank you ma'am ❤️🙏🙏
You're very welcome. I'm glad this tutorial means so much to you personally. Enjoy! ❤️
Hi,Wendy! I recently discovered your channel and am really impressed by how excellent your instruction is. You give just enough time for each step,while your close-up visuals eliminate any need for guesswork.
Very informe
Wendy, you are an amazing, beautiful person!. I loved this tutorial as I have loved every other one that I have seen.
I appreciate these earrings that are so easy prior to Valentine’s Day, please teach us any other wonderful ideas for that day that you may have up your sleeve. Wendy, you are so mindful of every single detail. Your teaching method sets a precedent for a life long way of creating beautiful art. I very much appreciate and love that, and by the way, I love you too because you care so much!!!!. 🙏🏼💗
Aww... thank you so much Consuelo! You're so sweet. And I'm so glad you enjoy my tutorials. Let me see what else I can come up with for Valentine's Day. 🤔

Way cute! It wouls be awesome if there was a tutorial just for these embellishments and maybe more LOL
That's a great idea! I probably won't be able to make more video tutorials for these anytime soon. But if this design proves to be popular, I may create a PDF tutorial that contains instructions for several variations.
@@Door44Studios That would be awesome and please let me know if you do and I will buy one! Of course if it is not too much trouble to let me know :) I am at the hammering stage on these and really like them.
I'll definitely let you know if/when I come out with an expanded tutorial for heart hoop variations, and I'm so glad you're enjoying this tutorial. Thanks for watching!
Where do I get the plastic wire protectors ?
Thank you for all your tutorials !! I m still learning !! You are amazing and talented teacher 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you, Yamile! I'm so glad you're enjoying my tutorials. You can usually find the plastic bobbins at your local craft store, but I buy mine from Amazon. Here's a link (I'm an Amazon affiliate, so I may earn a small commission if you purchase through this link): amzn.to/34zx90r
@@Door44Studios thank you so much !! I will try to find them , I am base in Uk ,,
Personally you are helping me to grow in a new stage, and I am immensely grateful to you, you explain very well and you are generous in sharing your secrets and experience .... Thank you 🙏🏻. You bless many with your classes, and it is not easy ,, May the Lord reward you and bless you always ...
@@yamilehodson4362 I believe Kelly Jones is based in the UK and she also uses these plastic bobbins. So, you may be able to find a local source through her channel, which you'll find here: www.youtube.com/@KellyJonesJewellery
Hello! I just subscribed to your RUclips channel and your blog, your tutorials are excellent, with a high quality! I am learning a lot and soon I will start practicing as soon as I buy what I need. I just want to ask you a favor: could you mention the measurements also in centimeters? Handling inches for people, who use the decimal metric system, is too-much-complicated for us. Using centimeters is much easier and if your videos are seen in many countries we will appreciate your kindness since there are few countries that use the Imperial system of measurements. Thank you very much and greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽
Welcome to Door 44 and thank you for subscribing! Yes, of course, I'll start mentioning metric measurements as well. Thanks so much for the feedback!
Morning!! Thank YOU for all that you do! Love your videos and information. Question .. if I only have 20 ga silver plated wire then I shouldn't hammer it with the nylon mallet?
Good morning! Yes, you can harden silver plated wire with a soft mallet. Use the black rubber side instead of the harder white or yellow nylon face, if you can. A well-seasoned rawhide mallet will also work on plated wire.
I LOVE these!!! Are the wires you use soft or half hard?
Could you show how to make these hearts but in a smaller shape and as a link? What wonderful work you do! Thank you for sharing 💗
I'm glad you like them! I used half-hard wire for these earrings. But you can also use dead soft wire. You'll just have to spend a bit more time hardening them if you choose dead soft wire.
Modifying this design into smaller links is a great idea! I'll be happy to show you how to do that in a future video. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching!
So cute. I love these. On the hoop, when you're hardening the wire, are you hammering straight down or slightly pulling it down? Like when you make the paddles? it's hard to tell. Thank you.
I'm using the same drawing stroke that I use to make paddles. Only I'm not pulling my hammer out as far on the drawing stroke. That's because I don't want to make the wire too thick to be comfortable in a piercing. The longer you drag your hammer, the more you'll stretch your wire.
@@Door44Studios thank you so much. You’re a fantastic teacher. I love these so much. I need a little more practice. Mine look dappled when I’m not doing that. I truly appreciate you.
Hi! I am wondering how does they look like on ears? Do you have some photo? :)
I don't have a photo, but they hang just like normal large hoop earrings. I wore the wire-woven variations yesterday and got lots of compliments on them. 😊
Hi I just wanted to know if I can add hooks ear wire?
@@minervatorres7368 of course! To do that, just wrap the two wire ends together instead of forming a hook. See my latest video for an example of how to finish the hearts that way. Then attach an ear wire to your hearts.
@@Door44Studiosthank you and how I can find your last video?
