I found the results to be the best with 26 gauge pure silver wire. it must be pure silver and not sterling silver- sterling silver has copper in it and it will not be bright and shiny. I tried thicker wire as well, but the dots are chunkier and spaced out more.
That is a beautiful bead I really must try this it’s getting them all the same size thank you it’s a great video x
Thank you! I think a lot of times the secret to making them the same size is to make many, and then coose the same sized ones ;)
Nice work. Thanks for putting this one up. (speedslug)
Thank you! More coming :)
Oh, how beautiful. Glad you made the video .... thanks so much. I too would like to know if that glass is Elektra. ???
Thank you! yup, I was on Elektra kick, lol
Well, that looked sooo easy, although having tried it I know it isn't!! Great video, lovely bead and a nice use of DH glass. Is that Elektra?
Thank you! yes, that is Elektra.
Will any thin gauge silver wire do this?
