"Today we're going to learn how to make an alteration of a butterfly. This is a great accent for a necklace, bracelet, or earrings to add. You're going to start with a small piece of wire. Just like a butterfly, you're going to grab it at the end, the very end. For small pieces, you'll go higher up on the needle nose pliers. For larger, you'll go further down. I'm going to go in the middle for this one. You're going to use your same folding method. The first one will be a normal size. The second one will be a larger size, so go further down on your pin. You end up with a shape like this. One large and one small. Now you'll make another small one, and the last piece will be the largest. You'll end up with a shape something like this. "

on 10/9/2008 I like her as an instructor, however when she's showing us how to do something with the wire, her hands move out of the camera range and you can't really see what she's showing us. Either the camera was stationary in which case she needs to reset it higher so when she moves her hands they'll be in the center of the shot. Or she could have a cameraman who is good at following her actions. Otherwise She's very interesting to watch and seems well organized.
