Ran across your video about four days ago and have not stop watching I'm retired and love trying new crafts now that I have so much time will differently try this.beautiful.
I just love, love, love YOU!! As always,Tatiana your Ukrainian beading friend
Thank you so so much Tatiana!
WOW, DRAGON'S EYE EARRINGS LOOK INSANE!!
Vicki your absolutely right she does have a calm voice and a master creator
I love your work. I've been watching you for a while now and you have inspired me to try my hand at making dragon eyes as well. I haven't gotten up to making earrings as of yet but I will. When making dragon eyes I tend to use a real life aspect where as, even with pairs, no two are ever alike. Just like people's eyes, no two are alike, I treat dragon eyes the same way. I do appreciate the fact that you said to make them look like sisters and not twins. Keep up the great work and keep making those videos.
Thanks, fire! I am really glad you like what I am doing :) when you make some, I would love to see what they look like! if you have any questions or would like to share pictures of your work, my facebook is: facebook.com/Back-to-Earth-Creations-232879571674/
The bracelet is amazing.
Thank you, Jean!
I know I’m watching this 2 yrs after you made it. I have watched several from that time period. Your talent is amazing.
I'm in love with these earrings! They're the most beautiful earrings I've ever seen! Your craftsmanship is incredible and your artistic eye for design is amazing! I would love a pair of these earrings 💜💜💜💜💜
Wow, thank you Elise! I would love to make something custom for you if you are interested :)
Я восхищаюсь вами. Просто умница и удивительный человек. Я посмотрела ваши видео. Супер! Удачи. !!!
Большое вам спасибо за вашу доброту!
Lovely as always! I now watch one of your craft videos every night before bed. Your voice and intricate designs are so soothing and relaxing! You're so creating its inspiring! Please keep doing them you are a wonderful artist and a beautiful person 😇 xxx
wow, yall are very kind! I am glad that I am helpful and that yall enjoy my work! :)
@@backtoearthcreations Hi sweetie, I think I can safely say that we all love you and your beautiful work. And yes, you are a lovely person. You're so humble despite the fact that you're a creative genius. Don't ever change. Love from Amanda in Australia
Those are stunning. Absolutely stunning.
I love them eye stones would love to find some of them I am new at wire wrapping but I love to craft so I just finished my first piece but I am learning so much from you and I want to thank you for sharing what you know I use crafting as a pain relief I try and focus on making something instead of my pain I broke my back in 7 places and a lot of other things so you are helping me in many ways God bless you for being so kind
Hi, Von. I'm so glad the client chose the first design. I love the way the wire curves around and away from the marquise instead of touching it. i think that's my favorite part of this design. Please keep making your videos. You never fail to make me smile. 😘
WOW....She is so talented!😎👍
WoW... They r just amazing!!! U r super talented!!!
Thank you so much, Melinda!
Wow!!!!! They r beautiful!!!!!!wow I’m amazed. U do such beautiful work!!!!!!!
I would have loved for you to put some eyeballs on the opposite sides too so the back would look identical from the back as well. So I’m going to try doing the back of both earrings from the back as well. I tried doing the eyeballs with you when you first started doing them like in 2007 or 2008 .. but never got them to look like yours but today I tried again 2022 & guess what it seems easier this time.😄. So cool. I still love your teaching today. Blessings going your way.
I truly enjoyed watching your awesome work on these dragon eye earrings i so enjoyed that you are awesome and so wonderful you have me wanting to make these so bad I'm a big dragon person anyways i just love you. Thanks for the encouragement
Hey Yvonne I really Love your work Hun! It Rocks! 🤗✌️💚🕊️🌈🌍🌎🌏🙏
These are just Beyond Beautiful!!!! You do such different & Gorgeous work!!👏👏👏💕💕🧜♀️
Another beautiful design! But I really think my favorite part of your videos are your sound effects...I find myself saying 'smooosh' with you. I love it! It never fails to make me smile ☺️
LOL!!!!
I’m blown away by your talent & creativity Yvonne! Such a pleasure to watch and inspiring to boot. Thank you!
Wow! Thank you so much for your kindness, Lisa!
The fine paint brush suggestion is excellent ... also included in that category would be brushes from a beauty supply store that nail artists use .... those are specifically designed for use with nail polish, so they should work. BTW, I absolutely love your dragon eye pieces ... please keep doing them!
ooo, excellent idea Deb!!
WOW you should be proud they are gorgeous
the set is beautiful
Thank you Gretchen!
You are amazing creative lady. Thanks for sharing.
Love you..you're so patient and explain things very well
I LOVE it!!! You do such excellent work. Im not in that style but I must admit it is gprgeous!!!
I had a suggestion for workin with the eye. Use a piece of wood dowel and a dab of hot glue. This would not leave a residue like two sided tacky tape might. Also you could glue a clothes pin doll stand to the table to hold the dowel so it would leave your hands free to work and a place for them to safely cure. Beautiful work. Very talented.
It is wonderful. Everything you do is wonderful. 😍
lovely work , you are so talented. 😄.
Wow, thank yall!
Omg , honey you blow me away. I'm NanaKaren from Texas and I just found you and am so happy I did.I first saw your vidieos on youtube a week ago and have done nothing but watch you &Randy since. Do ya'll want to be my kids! I have learned so much already can't wait for more.Love Nana Karen
To help hold a small cabochon still while you paint it, try a strip of double stick tape on your work surface. Stick the dome to the tape and you will not have to worry about the slippery glass moving about. Hope this is helpful! Thanks for all your wonderfully inspiring tutorials!!
I can’t tell you how much I loved your brain fart! 🤣
Those earrings were stunning!
Fabulous as always Yvonne 😊x
WOW! Talk about beautiful! I was mesmerized as I watched you work! ThAnKs!
hehe, thanks Kathy! I am glad you enjoyed this video :)
I love those, they're just what I have been looking for in a pattern. Great work
Your videos are always so perfect to fall asleep to. Like your voice is so calming and watching you work is weirdly relaxing
These are gorgeous! And I am so glad you have clients for your jewelry, now, that is just FABULOUS! I am very careful about "copying" artists, I don't want either the original artist or myself to feel like something is mucky for any reason, and I've never wanted to try to copy something more! I can't wait to have them hanging from my ears! I'm just a beginner, I've got a lot of work to do!
You are amazingly gifted! Super teacher & just cuter than heck!😊 love your voice & sweet spirit I hear as well. May you live a kind & generous life 🙏💯
Yvonne, this is really wonderfully gorgeous. even if u make a tutorial, it takes a very talented one to immitate you. impossible. your pieces are gorgeous.
Absolutely beautiful! You work the same way I do just pull out beads and wire and do what comes natural! I lo e a kindred spirit!
hehe, noice! Its a ton of fun :)
Absolutely gorgeous! I started doing crochet jewelry, but I've only sold one thing! I think your wire work is so beautiful. I wish I could even just get my hands on the wire to try it out! lol I can only dream!
thank you, Red! I highly recommend enameled copper wire from www.parawire.com; its affordable, easy to work with, and so durable! Keep at it and be patient and persistent and there is no telling where your craftiness might take you! :) If you have any questions or want to share pictures of your work my facebook is facebook.com/Back-to-Earth-Creations-232879571674/
Thank you! I'll definitely check it out. :D
I am so speechless because of the beautiful things you create....these look so amazing :)
wow, thank you!!
O love it all I started with wiring and chainmaille..but..im into more ..jewerelery. You know gold silver..but all the stuff I learned from you..
Hiya !, just a thought on getting the pupils to mirror each other. Do one pupil and while its still wet, place the blank up against the wet one and you get an imprint of the one on the other. You can touch up both then to match.......there will still be some natural differences because of the touching up, but at least they'd be centered. ;-)xxx
ooo, thats a great idea! I will have to try that :)
that is a good idea my husband keeps telling me that I am making my pupils looking to feathered out LOL
CAL JACKSON what a great idea. Thx for tip 😊
Von, did you ever try this and did it work? I'm gearing up to try this.
I am also wondering if you could take a wine bottle cork with gum on the end ( or puddy) and press it onto the front of the eye so your fingertips don't touch the back while you're using your tools and paint...thoughts?
Love the earrings ! So beautiful !
Lovely set. Thanks for showing.
thank you, Sheila! it is my pleasure to share :)
WOW😍😍😍😍😍
Yvonne,the earrings are awesome 👀❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Birte!
have you thought of making a plastic template? Something you can clean up each time you use them? just thinking. Love watching you work your magic.
Very generous as an artist, talented and excellent instruction. Thank you! Glad to have discovered you!
wow what a marvelous afternoon i had watching you, you are so good and easy to listen to and i love your work
hehe, thank you June!
Wow! Those earrings are wonderful!
Thank you!
Amazing pieces
Or the wire wouldn’t behave, or I’m crud at soldering, or the stone wouldn’t quite fit….I used my dremel on the stone and annealed the wire frame to soften the wire. I wish I could send y’all a picture of the pendant. Lovely two tone green stone with antique copper bezel! What a nice way to spend a cold winter day!
such amazing work, Would like to try this pattern after I get a lot better with wire. Thank you for all your instructions.
You can do it, Lisa!
@@backtoearthcreations Thank you for your confidence.
they are soooooo beautiful!
Thank you, Randy!
Wow just wow!! You are amazing talented lady!! Thank you!!!

Beautiful work! I'm going to share this with my friend who has started making jewelry.

This is so awesome! What a lucky client!
Thanks 😊 I’ve been saving these videos in my playlist for me to refer back to whenever I need to look at something or renew one of my techniques and they are so helpful thank you so much for giving so much of yourself
Thank you so much for your kindness! I am so glad to be helpful to you!
Love the Dragon bracelet and earrings...they look awesome! You are so talented! :-)
beautiful! great design, and wonderful filming to learn from. thanks so much!
Thank you! :)
I love the demo's but can you do a short list of what you are using , under the video please. I forget gauge sizes/ tools etc and I have to re watch just to get the info of what you are using, doesnt have to be too precise just helpful. Many thanks for your videos theyre great.
Hey, Dorothy, that is a great suggestion, I will do that! :)
Oh I have to try these!
Omg... I LOVE journals. I've never seen one as beautiful as the one you showed at the end of this video. I was totally blown away! That was fabulous!!! I wish I were going to Dragon-Con so I could visit your booth but I'm not. 😢
Wow, those are wonderful. Thanks for the video and sharing your art.
hehe, thanks Verne! it is my pleasure to share, so thank you for watching!
I love the earnings..the other piece the heart the lock..pendant I lo a them both but I'd go with now..ive a ring I want to show you..you make big pieces like I love for myself"
you have inspired me to create more!! Thank you both so much for all your hard work and beautiful creations! I will definitely have to commission you one day!
hehe, right on! That would be great :-D
So Beautiful!!!
Just beautiful ❤️
I use a thin strip of double sided tape wrapped around the cabochon with the ends of the tape forming a tab that I can hold onto as I work on the cabochon.
LOVE THESE!!!!!!!! going to make some
Right on!! :)
You are so very talented. Another amazing design!
Thank you Ennis!!
Love watching your vids! So informative and inspiring for all of us. Had a thought on how to make it easier to hold on to the smaller pieces when painting the eyes. Take a coin, poker chip, piece of corigated cardboard, anything flat really, just a bit larger than what you are working on, and place a smallish dot of bluestick on your coin etc, and push your eye into it. Holds it well and 1 2$ pack of bluestick will last you months, if not longer.
Just found your channel and am really enjoying learning from you!! I'm a beginner so had to tear out my first attempt a few times but got something I was pretty happy with. It's a start! You are very inspiring
I like the curly tips facing forward :)
Marvelous work, everything you do it exceptional.
I subbed as soon as I saw the thumbnail. This looks really awesome!
Your work is so inspiring and beautiful 😊
Yay! thank you for your support!
Yvonne Williams You're welcome :)
You could always bed the eyes into a blob of clay so you can hold the clay leaving the eye edges clear and your fingers don't get stuck on them. ;-) XXX
Another great idea, Cal!
Here’s an idea for you to make your pupils of your Dragon eyes to be just perfect put a little extra paint on the first one and then touch the two together just barely and then it’ll come out the same on the second one giving you an outline
That's a great idea! I'll have to try that!
You are truly gifted. I have learned so much from your videos. I only wish is that you provided a supply list of what you used and the sizes. I rewind these videos to find the information. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Those earrings are gorgeous! I, personally, probably would not wear earrings that large but if there were some like them that were smaller I would love them for myself. I can see these looking really fantastic on someone else though. Absolutely beautiful! You are so talented. ☺ Could these be made in a smaller version?
Luv these...beautiful
Wow... gorgeous...
Gorgeous
Yvonne when I get my inheritance I would love a purple dragon pendant & earnings & necklace .... I no your based in America and I'm in Australia but know I'm addicted to your work .... and as my son said you must have the Patience of an angle ... Love your work and if I didn't have arthritis in my hands I would really give it a try ...instead I will stick to painting my statues ... thank you honey .
Right on! I would be honored to make something for you!
Hey Yvonne , I’ve actually canceled my cable because I’d rather watch you and your amazing talent . I’ve learned so much from your tutorials . I love your optimism and letting beginners know that “ we are our own creators . Thank you so much for your generosity . I would love to pledge to patron . When I click on the link it says the website is not available . I’ve even copied and pasted. Can you direct me to that site .? It’s greatly appreciated as well are you !!!
Wow, those are beautiful!
Thank you! :)
beautiful
Thank you, Janet!
I absolutely love your videos!!!!! You are an awesome artist and teacher! I wish I lived somewhere near you to take some classes from you.
I have some video requests.
Can you do a video showing how to end a wire weave? I keep running into a problem of my weaving wire wanting to come loose even though I squeeze down and making sure the ends are tucked in well.
I would love to see a video going through all the tools you use and what they are used for.
I would like a video of how you store your wire, tools, etc.
Can you do a video telling where you get all your wire, beads, and gemstones? I’m finding the wire really expensive on Amazon, at Hobby Lobby, and Michael’s, even with sales and coupons.
I really need a video on how to price my pieces from simple jewelry to advanced. Also, where are the best places to sell your work? I literally just started a week ago and it’s coming completely naturally to me, which really surprised me.
There is a piece I’m wanting to make. I saw a picture of it but couldn’t find a tutorial. It’s the only piece I’ve seen like this. It’s a tree of life pendant on a quartz point.
Thanks for all you do!!!!!
love your work...was wondering what the smaller eyes would make it easier to work with them if you put some kind of putty or or something on the front of the eye and stuck a pencil or something into the petty so you can hold it without touching the back while you're working on it that way you can use your brushes and scratch and everything but your fingers won't pull off any of the
Thats a really good idea!!
dang auto correct..hope you understood that!
I love your video's you are so wonderful to share this thank you so much!
thank you, Lisa! It is a pleasure to share what I have learned, so I am glad you like my videos!
Use an orange wood stick (from Sally's Beauty Supply) dipped in nail polish remover to clean up the paint
STUNNING job xXx
Thank you!
Hi just wanted to say that I love your work and am a huge fan.I also make jewelry and for my painting work I actually use a needle.a straight pin to be exact.you can get Incredible detail with the straight pins incredibly fine point .and its a hard point so it really works well.hope this helps with those tiny pupils!
ooo, that would make some ultra fine detailing!!
It really does. I will be interested to see if you try it and like it .personally I love it and I constantly get asked how I get such fine details in my work.well that's how.... I usually don't tell my secret but you are so worthy bc your work is awesome!
today I went to the dollar store and bought some wire and tools, so I'm going to turn the plastic ladybug my friend gave me into a bracelet. I'll send you a picture when I'm done!
yay!!!
These are stunning and wow girl, how skilled are you!! :) much love to you from the UK ❤️
Those are sooooo cool 😎
