Lovely pieces!

SO lovely!
when there’s a long skinny section in between beads, is that a skinny bead, or your stringing material? and what stringing material do you use? it look so substantial and INTENTIONAL. i always think when i leave the wire intentionally (because i like the way it looks) it LOOKS accidental, or lazy.

Thanks you guys. Holly, the stringing material is Beadalon wire, silver plated. The 49 strand kind, at the heaviest weight. The silver plated is way more expensive, so I am now paying way more attention to how much I waste when I start out with a piece that is longer than I need.
