Hello everyone, This is my first try at starting a thread so here goes.

Would you please share your photos of big hole bead and any helpful hints you may have on making them. Here is my first try, three big hole beads. They were made on 5/8" rods.

I make very thin donut beads out of boro by taking a silver color gather cased in clear and then mashing it ino a thin lollypop. I then heat up only the very center of the disc and then pick out the center with a cold rod. It usuall takes several attemps alternating on each side. Sorry I don't have any photos of these.
