For Wendy - Making a Necklace Using her Signature Coreana Chain and Bargain Bead Box
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- This video is for Wendy Whitman. She is already missed and the only way I could think of honoring her was to record a tutorial using her signature coreana chain and Bargain Bead Box for August.
I found Wendy's channel a little over three years ago and the first video was her using Bargain Bead Box. New to the jewelry world and seeing how she used this bead box, I subscribed and watched for her next BBB tutorials.
I noticed she always mentioned coreana chain and I had no idea what that was but she always worked her magic and created masterpieces.
I was lucky enough to meet her through a Jesse James Beads Live nine months ago and share that she was the second jewelry designer I had ever come across - first being Kellie Sutton. A month later, I reached out to Wendy for her and I to do a Live and she accepted immediately - I was shocked and excited. We talked for hours on the phone and it was like I had known her all along.
She joined me here on my channel and I even made a guest appearance on hers - of course, we used Bargain Bead Box - five months ago.
I will forever cherish our Lives and our chats !! This one is for Wendy !
I just found Wendi recently, she mentioned her Granddad and I was led to pray 🙏 for both of them! Only to find out a week later Jesus needed His angel. (Wendi) to leave Earth 🌎 and help Him in Heaven!
I can't stop crying for her and her family! You know how unique and wonderful a Christian lady she was.
God's Speed 💙 💜 💖 I look Forward to watching the teaching techniques of jewlery. Please keep videos up! Soo many of us are interested in learning and making jewelry in Honor of Wendy! Still need her influence. I haven't got my bargain bead box yet, I am that new. Look forward to creating ✨️ pretty jewelry.
Sincerely, Tricia
Hi Tricia - I apologize for the delay in responding. Wendy has influenced me so much - and as a mentor. Her and I met up, in person (during a Live) in October of 2022 and I had the pleasure of inviting her to my channel as well as being a guest on her channel for Lives. We had many Lives left to do and I miss her bunches and bunches. Thank you so much for leaving me a comment - and I will do my best to inspire :-)
Wendy was one of the first designers I started following, as well. I loved her. She was a kind, loving, Christian soul, and she was not only an amazing teacher, she loved telling us about her family. We heard all about Chris, and her boys, and their moves. I loved watching her re-organize when she moved, and I loved all the different things she designed with beads. Thank you for your fun collaborations you did with her, those were fun, as well! I know that Heaven has gained another angel, but it doesn't help how much we will miss her down here...
Hi Terra ! Thank you so much - I had so much fun with our collaborations. We had so many yet to come. You are so right - we know her entire family through her videos and she is definitely OOAK !!!! 🥰
❤️
Such a lovely thing for you to do Jenifer. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much, Kellie !!! Her and I talked about you so much - she was another one of you biggest fans. Thank you for always being there on the other end of my texts 😘

I had no idea what coreana chain was for!😮!
Rest in Eternal Peace to a wonderful jeweler! Prayers for her family❤🙏 I pray her son will continue in her footsteps and keep her channel alive.
I hope her channel stays active too - I love going back and watching her.
Wendy was so talented loved her videos 💕condolences to her family 🙏🙏 Thankyou Jenifer for the lovely video for Wendy❤️
Yes, she was so talented. I am so glad you found my tribute video. ❤
Beautiful tribute 💕
Hello :-) I am sorry for missing this comment - thank you so much. Wendy was amazing and happy to see Chris is keeping her channel going with the guests he has invited to design.
Hi Jennifer, wonderful tribe to Wendy she had such amazing soul. I'm still in shock about her accident. Sending love and prayers to her family.
Thank you so much - I am still in shock too. ❤
Thank you for this tribute. Wendy and Sara Lovecraft popped up when I started watching yt during pandemic. I am a follower. Wendy taught me so much! My pleasure to learn she knew of coreana chain and clamshells. Wendy taught me persistence. On trying days, Wendy pushed onward. Wendy is my inspiration and provides impetus. In honor of Wendy, please may her family leave her videos up for awhile. Thank You!
Hi Linda - I started making jewelry at the start of the pandemic and learned so much from Kellie and Wendy. About a year later, I found Nealay Patel, Sara Lovecraft, Sara and Kristen from Soft Flex, Danielle Wickes...and the list has grown so much ! I hope the videos stay up too - her and I have a Live on her channel and I have been watching it - it was such a blast !!
@@BellaRayneJewelryCo I remember your live video! Wendy was such a hard worker and produced at least once or twice a week. I'm subscribing to your channel and look forward to viewing your work. Best to You🌻 btw, many of Wendy's last necklaces are assembled with small sections of beads. Jump rings assist the sections with finding their place in line. Sara Lovecraft does well without the rings; but I noticed she makes the eyes on a section face the same way. I assume that technique allows sections to alternate as units and lay well.
@@LindaLanglitz642 Yes, Wendy worked really hard and knowing all that goes into these videos, she spent a lot of time in preparing for them too. I know for every 30-minute video I post, at least two to three hours of preparations go into the project. Sometimes, I do have to omit the rings due to sizing - and I have noticed a difference but it still works well - you are right 🙂 Wendy and I really had a blast with our Live streams. We were just getting started.
Thank you, Jenifer. What a wonderful tribute to Wendy. Wendy was the first jewellery maker I watched on RUclips. I know I’m not the only person who benefited from her generosity and kindness in teaching us many jewellery making techniques; I know that I’ll always be grateful for her expertise. My thoughts go out to her family, friends and the beading community, she will be missed. She was the first person to introduce me to bead chain and I’ve used it successfully in a number of projects. I love it and I love how you’re using it in this project. Thanks for your tutorial and your reminiscing, Regards, Mary.
Thank you so much, Mary. Chris is keeping her channel up and adding videos from various designers/artists often. I hope you can learn from all of us still connected to her and her channel. She is a huge part of where I am today.
Beautiful tribute to our sweet Wendy. All of us are grieving her. When I first started beading, I found Wendy. I ordered the bargain bead box by her suggestion. She was a beautiful soul, her sweetness was contagious. I am praying for Chris and her family, and all of us. ❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much, Jazzy Bee !!! I am sure my story will be shared with theirs and I love it !! You said it best about her sweetness being contagious ! I am praying for Chris, her boys, her little granddaughter and the rest of her amazing family 🥰
How could something happen so fast ⏩😂I am having a rough time as well.Its funny how you grieve for someone you have never even met.She shared so much of her Love 💗 her little cards she read.. your grieving friend Ms Dee
I love Wendy watched her all the time what happened to her I just got some of her chain
@@deborahharris6888 - Hi Deborah - Wendy passed away on Tuesday morning. 💔
@jenifermiller6944 was it a motorcycle accident in Florida because I thought she was at her mom's I am so shocked
Wendy lived in the same county as I and I never even realized it! This is devastating. I was watching the local news the other night and saw the accident but had NO idea. Of bless!! I first started watching Kellie with Kellie’s Bead Boutique and stumbled upon Wendy as well. Bless, bless. Thank you for making this tribute to a sweet beautiful lady and amazing designer! 😘❣️🙏🏻
Thank you, Kathy - wow - we both found Kellie and Wendy early on. I cannot say enough about them both. I am so lucky Wendy and I had time to talk and design together in a few Lives. I will forever cherish these videos ! 🥰 Wendy and I in the same county would have been a BLAST !!!!!
Thank you Jenifer. Thank You beautiful Wendy 😢. Let's keep her always alive in our hearts. 🙏🙏🙏
We will, Mary. 🥰
Jennifer Wendy would have loved these projects. She is smiling down on you from her place in Heaven. Beautifully perfect tribute. ❤ Kristin
Thank you so much for this, Kristin. This really does warm my heart 🥰
I find it amazing how you mention Wendy and Kellie Sutton as two you watched at first. They have both been a big part of my beading world journey. I learned a lot by trial and error years ago, but both Wendy and Kellie have taught me so much more. Wendy was so positive and always had her words of encouragement for the day. I've never really connected to people on the social media until I met my fellow beaders...I truly love all of you that I spend time with daily. My heart is broken over the loss of Wendy and will truly miss her. I want you to know, Jennifer, how much I appreciate you and learn from you as well! You are a big part of my journey. I used to live in Sacramento...not far from Stockton. How lives intertwine! Precious memories of Wendy...she will be greatly missed 😢
❤❤❤
Thank you so much, Susan. I owe so many so much for what I have learned from them and for those that leave amazing comments like these - I love this beading community/family ! For Kellie and Wendy to take the time for little ole me....I cannot thank them more. What a small world....Wendy, you and myself all within 80 miles at one point - WOW !!! I am going to miss her, her encouraging words of the day....her fun accent and that laugh ! I keep going back to our first Live for JJB.....She is already greatly missed and I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to watch my tribute ! 🥰
Loved loved Wendy, she was my first RUclips also, and Kellie too. I have been so sad the past 2 days. Praying for Wendy’s family.
They were my first two teachers too. Both kind, positive, inclusive, so creative and encouraging!!
@@cindyross314 - I am still in shock, Cindy ! She is greatly missed.
Hi Jenifer. I just found your channel when I saw the video caption "For Wendy" and I'm glad I did. I already miss her so much. I was one of her big fans and I was literally sick to my stomach when I found out this morning from Luisa's tribute video to Wendy. I was shocked and have been sad all day. This is a wonderful tribute to her. She loved to work with that Coreana chain and I finally broke down and ordered some and received it about 2 weeks ago. She and her family are in my prayers and I know she's looking down on her fellow beaders and smiling her beautiful smile. I look forward to more of your videos. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Thank you so much, Maria. I had to do this tribute for her. She has been one of jewelry-making mentors and was so happy when Sarah James put both her and I on the same Live - it was an instant friendship and I am so glad I had the chance to meet her and work with her. I am so glad you found me and shared this amazing note. 🥰
What a wonderful tribute Jenifer! Wendy loved her bead chain! I didn’t know her personally, but I felt like a did. She was so sweet and I enjoyed her sense of humor. Praying for her family and friends as well as the beady community. We are all mourning her passing and she will definitely be missed. Take care.
Thank you, Carla. Her sense of humor - I didn't get to her sense of humor in this video - I loved her "word for the day' segment in her videos. She is greatly missed and the beading community is all coming together for support 🥰
I love your design and I see this as a wonderful tribute to Wendy. Thank you for sharing! I first found Gina with Orchid & Opal and started my BBB subscription. Then I found Wendy. I fell in love with her honesty and willingness to show her goofs. She helped me relax and not be intimidated to try new things and not worry about my own goofs.
Hi Barbara - thank you so much. Wendy and I had some great conversations in our green room before going Live - leaving our goofs in our videos was talked about a time or two and she helped me realize viewers want to see the goofs 🙂 I am so grateful I found her 🥰
@@BellaRayneJewelryCo 💖🤗
Such a beautiful tribute for such a beautiful person. Wendy will be so missed. She was such an inspiration. Even though i didn't know her, I felt like she was a friend. She had such a warm, kind and caring personality in her videos. She made her videos fun, while teaching us all. Wendy was one of first teachers I found in my jewelry journey, not so long ago, as you also were, Jenifer. I have learned so much from you both. Heaven has gained a new angel.
Thank you so much, Laurie - yes, heaven gained a new angel, no doubt. I am so glad you found us both. I love her encouraging words for the day - her giggles - and her warm warm heart ! I miss her already !!!
Jenifer, you are a sweetheart for doing this. The Coreana chain was one of Wendy’s must haves for designing. I will remember Wendy always!
Awh - thank you so much, Cindy ! I immediately thought of recording a video - and using BBB and coreana chain. I cannot thank you enough for your kind words - yes, she will be remembered, always ! 🥰
Wendy’s coreana chain... how fitting of a tribute. I am still just in shock and just so sad. I never met Wendy but she made you feel like you knew her forever. Wendy was a true inspiration and I will continue to watch her videos. Thank you for this wonderful tribute Jenifer. Prayers for Wendy’s family and loved ones. 🙏 it was such a pleasure to have discovered this beautiful talented woman. 😘 Rest In Peace Wendy. You are truly missed.
Thank you so much, Sharon. When I thought of what I could do for Wendy.....using her signature coreana chain was the first thing that came to my mind. I have been watching for for only the last three years, but have gone back and watched all of her videos and even today.....watching the Lives we did together and will cherish them forever 🥰
I would always look every day to see if Wendy had uploaded a video to watch. Yesterday I spent the afternoon making necklaces with her Corianna chain. I so appreciated her Christian witness and I had told her so.
I would look for her videos too, Mary. She shared her craft so well and and her faith. She will be greatly missed !
Wendy was so personable that you felt she was your personal friend. I cried when Brittany Chavers posted something on her RUclips channel. Then Kellie had her live show and was crying which made me cry again. Today Brittany did a short video in remembrance of Wendy, and I cried today. Such a sad day.
❤❤❤
That’s a beautiful piece. Wendy would love it. I’ve been thinking about her family a lot the last couple days. I just finished a tribute to her myself, but using seashell fragments. I know she loves to beach comb and make things with the seashells. Something her, and I have very much in common. I didn’t know her personally, but I felt like I did.
I had no idea Wendy passed!!😢 She was so kind! Beautiful tribute to her honor!!!❤
She did love those chains so much ,I just had to buy them from her store . She will be missed..She taught me so much. ❤
She will be missed, greatly. She was an amazing teacher and an incredible person. 🥰
Jennifer, thank you so much for sharing your story about Wendy and you. Your tribute is lovely and it's good to know that coreana chain has another name, because I could never find it online except once on Wendy's shop. Love your necklace!!!
Brittany Chavers referred me to Wendy and I really enjoyed her humor and amazing energy. What a sweet and generous person she was. I know she will be in our hearts always. Hugs and love to you, Jen.
Thank you so much !! Her and I were just getting started with our fun Lives together. I am so glad I had the times we had - she is GREATLY missed ! 🥰
So very sad hearing about Wendy! It really shook me up! You made a lovely tribute to her memory! hugs
Thank you so much, Linda ! This was such a shock to me - Kellie texted me Wednesday morning. I am not on FB except for special events and I didn't see the posts about her. Kellie knew I would want to know. It was a tough day - and the night before (Tuesday night), I was watching the Live for JJB where I met her in person for the first time. She was so incredibly nice and welcoming to me. I will miss her greatly !!!
Thank you for this, Jennifer. I found it very healing.
Eternal rest grant unto Wendy, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she Rest in Peace. Amen
Amen, Barbara 🥰 Thank you so much.
Thank you for this tribute. In my mind Coreana chain and Wendy are indelibly linked. She loved it and made such beautiful pieces with it.
Yes, you are so right - I will always link her to coreana chain ! She made some incredible and amazing pieces......many I literally copied EXACTLY 🥰
I got all my coreana chain from Wendy , She did awesome work . She was such an inspiration ,
You are so right, Katherine. She was an inspiration and already greatly missed. 🥰
Hi Jenifer! I just wanted you to know that just today I discovered your channel and it was all because of Wendy. Although Wendy and I had not yet met in person, we had emailed back and forth several times because of a common passion for beading and sea shells. She had even invited me to stay at her home! Today I've just been wanting to see her beautiful face and found this live you and she did several months ago. I love her and already miss her so much. Anyway, I have now subscribed to your channel and you do lovely work. Thank you for thinking of Wendy with this sweet tribute to her. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. ❤❤❤
Wow...thank you so much for sharing your Wendy story. She took so much time out for all of us and when I met her for the first time, it was like we had been friends all along - this is the way she was. I am so glad you found me and shared your story 🥰
A beautiful tribute to a wonderful lady.
Thank you so much, Florence - she really was !!! 🥰🥰
A beautiful tribute to Wendy. I've recently gotten back in to my jewelry making and came across Wendy's channel and subscribed. I was really enjoying her videos. A very sad loss for her family and friends.
Thank you so much !!! Her videos are the best - she took pride in her craft and loved sharing with her followers. She is greatly missed already ! 🥰
I love what you designed in memory of Wendy! She was such a dear sweet person and she loved the Lord! She was also one of the first that I started watching when I got back into making jewelry. I don't think I missed too many of her many You Tubes. Thank you Jennifer! We will all miss her terribly!
You are so right - she loved family, the Lord, friends and this beading family she helped build. When I first found her channel, I went back and watched all of her videos from the very first video to catch up. I had so much fun with her in our Lives. I am also watching those again....love her laugh !!! 🥰
Wendy would be so pleased with these necklaces! You have presented this beautifully! I can hear hear “ oh Jenifer! That’s so sweet of you! Gosh..”. She leaves a hole for so many of us. I too am a better beader because of her!❤
(tears) - thank you so much. My husband has been reading comments and told me to grab some tissue and this one brought on the tears. I learned so much from her - this is the best. I could listen to her all day long....and learn quite a bit too. I am missing her already !! 🥰 Thank you, again....this means so much to me.
Hello Jenifer Miller ,l just finished watching Teresa's handmade jewelry, and she mentioned your name that you made a beautiful necklace in tribute of Wendy ,l watch every video Wendy made ,absolutely loved her channel ,saying this l have subscribed to your channel also 💙 thank you for this tribute to Wendy
Thank you so much for sharing, Rose. Teresa and I are both working on the same subscriptions right now - we had sent a couple messages to each other. I loved Wendy and her channel too - she will be GREATLY missed 🥰
Thank you hun ,l am excited to follow you on your channel, l also try to make jewellery, l enjoy it so much, l live in Canada,
She was also one of the first designers I started following. I'm gonna miss her. I made a necklace today from one of her videos from I think 9 days ago. It was from GGC's treasure bag. I also made a necklace with lots of tassels. We all know that Wendy loved her dangles and her tassels!! I would love to post it but I'm afraid that I would upset someone. So I will wait till its ok. I used to get all my
coreana chain from Wendy so I'm happy that I have what I do have now. The necklace is beautiful and Wendy would love it. Thanks for sharing 🤗 Syndy
Hi Syndy - we would love to see what you made from her videos. Thank you so much for finding me and sharing your story. She is already greatly missed !!!! 🥰
A lovely tribute.
It was because of Wendy and her love of Coreana chain and her making so many beautiful pieces using it that made me start buying it. I'm going to miss her positivity so much 😢
Thank you so much - She will be greatly missed !🥰
What a wonderful thing to do. She was the first one I found when I started my jewelry journey. This is the first video I have found of yours, how fitting. Wendy loved her Jesus and was not afraid to share that. It makes my heart happy to know one day I'll see her again. I love her cornea chain too. She also got me hooked on that. Bless you and I look forward to following you. Sending hugs
Thank you so much, Stacy. She was not shy about sharing feelings and especially her faith. I am so glad you found me and shared your story - she has touched so many and she is already greatly missed 🥰
Such a beautiful tribute...you did such an awesome job...they are so pretty. 🌿💕🌿
Thank you so much, Charlene. This means a lot to me. 🥰
What nice tribute to Wendy, I enjoy watching her videos and yours as well. It has been quite a shock to us all, will truly miss her and her auctions she had in a private group. My prayers are for her husband Chris and her sons, granddaughter and her Mom and Dad and all her friends. Life is truly short and no one is promised tomorrow. But we have to live for today. God Bless you and everyone. from Pamela
Thank you so much, Pamela. She has done so much for me and I had to do something in her memory. God bless you and everyone !🥰
Such a sweet tribute to Wendy! She was also my second follow. Beautiful necklaces. Be well, Jenifer!
Hi Maria !! Thank you so much. I miss her already and so grateful I had the chance to meet her, bead with her and laugh with her. 🥰
Beautiful. Great tribute to Wendy. The sun has lost a bit of its shine. Hugs to all her family and friends.
Thank you so much, Anita !!! You said it ! This is a shocker and really hit our community hard - and BIG hugs to her family and friends !🥰
She was such a sweet positive person. Also one of my first teachers. I’m still in disbelief.
I am too, Cynthia - doesn't seem real. 💔
SO perfect Jennifer, beautiful tribute to Wendy. Sending big hugs to you xo.
Thank you so much, Melanie !!! 🥰
I started watching Wendy when she was just beginning her bed journey. She was so frustrated wanting to have the success like other beaders. The funny thing is that quickly she became even more successful than she ever imagined she could be. She was the kindest person I know and I am mourning her loss immensely. My heart goes out to her family. I have coreana chain I bought from her and never used yet. I’ll be sure to use now in her memory
I love this, Julles. I am with you - she will be missed, greatly ! I hope you get to make a piece using her coreana chain - in her memory 🥰
@@BellaRayneJewelryCo I will for sure. I am so devastated about what has happened to her and feel terrible for her family’s tremendous loss. She has touched so many hearts.
Hello! I am new to your channel, but i have been following Wendy since I first started beading. I didn't know that thing about using jump rings to make it flow better. She was so amazing and I miss her, even though I didn't know her in person
Welcome to my channel. Wendy and I had one line on her channel, two on mine and one on Jesse James Beads channel (where I met her in person). The jump-ring trick does make a huge difference. There are times the sizing/length doesn't make it possible but it definitely is what I start with first when designing. She was amazing ! and I miss her already 🥰
She was one my first follows, too and a huge inspiration. 💔
Yes, Beki.....I am seeing she is one of the first for so many. She is GREALY missed !!!! 🥰
Absolutely beautiful tribute for Wendy! Thank you Jenifer! Prayers to her family!
Thank you so much !!! It was the toughest video I have recorded yet. Her family is in my thoughts and prayers and sending HUGE hugs !!!🥰
Hello, I am new to your channel. I also was a friend of Wendy's. I think everyone was a friend to her. She was that lovely of a person. I am going to be watching you now in honor of Wendy. I miss her so much already. She is now a beautiful angel in heaven watching over all of us!
You are right - she is watching over all of us. Thank you so much for watching my tribute for her. We only had four Lives together but I will cherish the forever !!! 🥰
Thank you, Jenifer. This is a beautiful tribute.
Thank you so much, Gayle 🥰
Hi Jenifer! I just subscribed to your channel because of this video tribute to Wendy. She will be missed greatly. Thank you for this!
You are most welcome, Cindy. I am in awe of these comments and I appreciate you finding this video - this was the first thing I thought about doing after wiping the tears and taking a breath after the news. She will definitely be missed !
Jen, Wendy would have loved this! You’re the best. She’ll be sorely missed.😢😢❤
Awe - thank you, Heather !!! She would have laughed at me using coreana chain and trying to figure it out. You are 100% accurate....SORELY MISSED 🥰
Crying again… just at the beginning of your video
I know, right, Joee!!!!.......I sat at my studio desk tonight....and the tears just fall. I am still in so much shock. Been watching the Live streams we did together. 🥰
Thank you Jenifer! What an amazing tribute to Wendy!! For me too, Kellie Sutton was the first one that made me love the beautiful world of beading! Wendy was the second and i was watching everything that she posted ❤ We will miss her so much 😢😢😢😢
Thank you Jenifer 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your story - very similar to mine 🙂 We found two of the best early on in our journeys. She is GREATLY missed ! 🥰
I haven’t been subscribed to Wendy’s channel for long and I have watched so many of her videos. I loved her attitude and subscribed immediately. I just yesterday or the day before, watched this video about bargain bead box. Prayers for her friends and especially her family.
I found her and became a subscriber to BBB instantly and copied her designs for the longest time - it helped me become comfortable with designing on my own - I had mostly bought kits. She was amazing and greatly missed ! 🥰
I met her in person for the first time after chatting with you both on your live stream… that’s when we realized that her family lives across the street from me! I am still in shock.
Yes, that was such a trip !!! She lived 45 minutes from me at one time and her in-laws across the street from you now. If Wendy and I lived near one another....there would have been TONS of Lives !!!! 🥰
I must say it was the worst news my heart is so heavy today she was such a warm person and so talented she eill be missed terribly i watched all her videos my heart reaches out to her family
You are 100% right - she was warm and talented. She will be greatly missed !!! Thank you for leaving me this message and the message for her amazing family.
Thank you for this video today. A beautiful tribute. I subscribed to you after watching a video you and Wendy did a few months ago. She will be missed.
HI Marianne - I had so much fun with Wendy on our Lives. We were in one with JJB, two on my channel and one on hers - and I had a BLAST !!!! She will be greatly missed !! 🥰 Thank you so much !!!
Hi Jenifer. I found you through Wendy's live. I had seen your name on Sara's lives but didn't know you had a channel. I've had the BBB since 2019 and think it was also because of Wendy. As a beginner I would eagerly await her BBB videos for inspiration. She was a huge inspiration to so many of us and my heart aches for everyone but most especially for her family.
HI Wendy !! Yes, I chose BBB because of her and I knew I would get great ideas from her pieces. In the very beginning, I would copy her designs, exactly - it was how I learned. I had so much fun with her on our Lives. We had many yet to come - I miss her already ! 🥰
Wendy was such a sweet, loving person. Good friend and she will be miss immensely. 😢
She really was - and yes, greatly missed !!! 🥰
All my coreana chain came from Wendy.😢 lovely. BBB box is all I subscribe to.
Wendy loved her coreana chain - and her BBB. Thank you so much for leaving me a note. Wendy is greatly missed. 😥
I just found you. I also watched Wendy on RUclips. She was a beautiful person, she will be missed😢 Very nice of you to do this ❤
Hi Gwen - She was amazing and I miss her already - thank you so much for watching....I had to do something for her. She has played a huge role in my beading journey. 🥰
Oh, that was so nice. I've been broken sense yesterday when I heard the news. 😢
HI Lorena - me too. This has been a tough one. I cannot look anywhere in my studio and not think about her. Her and I were just getting started together 🥰
How wonderful that you're doing this. We have the same idea. i've been watching her videos on and off all day and pulling beads to make some pieces in her memory. I think I will do beach themed pieces and of course include coreana chain. I didn't get to meet her, but she was so personable in her videos that I feel like I knew her.
Thank you so much - I had to do this for her and it had to be BBB and coreana chain. I only met her 10 short months ago but she made me feel special from day one - and made me feel like a true friend. She was amazing and I will cherish our Live videos together forever !!!
I see your comments on Kellie Bead Boutique. So sorry for your loss.
Thank you so much - she was an amazing person and loved by so many. Many many hugs and prayers for her family 🥰
Hello, side note, I am further along in your video, I live near Fresno!
Soo sad, nice tribute! 🥰
Thank you so much 😢
Thank you for sharing ❤
You are most welcome, Paulette - this was a tough video and I had to pause many times to collect myself - thank goodness for editing.
Beautiful ❤
Thank you so much !!!
I also found the wonder of coreana chain watching Wendy. I was heart broken as well to hear of her passing.
Yes, I miss her bunches and bunches. We were going to do more Lives together - her and I were just getting started together ! I am heartbroken too !
Great Tribute Jennifer! Where is the best place to get the corrianna chain.? Not sure if I spelled it right. I am going to really miss Wendy's videos. She was an intragal part of our beading community.
Hi Vivian - I know her website only has a picture of her and Chris - it's a beautiful picture of them. The only other place I have bought from is Kellie's Bead Boutique - she calls it beading chain. She has it in two sizes but here is the link for the 0.7mm - www.kelliesbeadboutique.com/7mm-Beading-Chain-p/ch2350.htm. She will take care of you - Kellie is a VERY dear friend !!!
❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am so very sorry Jen !!!! Hugs and prayers sweet friend, you know Heaven is shining brighter with beautiful dangles in the clouds !!! 🥲
Thank you so much - you saw, first hand, how much fun we had in our Lives. We were both so new to Live tutorials and viewers, like you, made it so much fun ! You are right - Heaven is shining brighter with beautiful dangles in the clouds !!!
@@BellaRayneJewelryCo
I still have a folder named Wen-Jen 🥲 I’ll be following your tutorials more and I hope Wendy knew how much she helped me as a beginner!!! Love you , Jen !!
You and her were the perfect duo !!
@@oklaNana - this warms my heart ! Thank you so much for this 😃
@@BellaRayneJewelryCo 🥰🧡
Do you ever use silicone beads vs crimp beads to act as "stops"?😊
No - I have only used silicone beads for leather and thick beading chain - so the ones in my stash have a larger hole. I will definitely look into using the beads. Thank you !!!!
I thought she was the first one I watched, but she was actually the second one. The first was Gina with Opal and Orchids.
I am seeing similar comments - where either Kellie or Gina were their first and then Wendy. Wendy had so many fans and supporters. She is greatly missed !
Hi, do you know how to get corana chain?
Hi Kathy - Kellie's Bead Boutique has beading chain in two sizes. The link here is for their 0.7mm beading chain and I have used this often. www.kelliesbeadboutique.com/7mm-Beading-Chain-p/ch2350.htm
They also have different end caps - glue-in and folding. I have used both types from Kellie too. If you need any help, they are amazing and can answer your questions.
I live in Sacramento ca.
