I love making beads but I don’t get to take many individual pictures, just groups so I can keep track of what I have when I go to shows..
To answer your question…. I use quite thick but not very long stamen canes & I plunge them pretty deep. I hold the mandrel in my left hand with the end of the stamen cane steadied by a tall marvering pad & I use glass nippers to cut it. I filed a little off the glass nippers so they close better & will cut quite small stringers.
Beautiful orchid Heather, I know what I’ll be trying tomorrow….
