Default Multi colored rods!

Hi all,
Wanted to put in my 2 cense worth! The options are practically limitless. They can be pulled and twisted into instant lattachino. Then you can wrap those for beads. Lay them inside tube, for hollow beads or what have you. You can wrap them on straight or zigzag and rake through them. We created them knowing how much time artist spent making these themselves. Those rods look like there all ours with the exception of maybe the bottom one?
So the marble that's posted here was made very simply. Heating the rod in small sections and twisting in opposite directions back and forth (Zig Zag) ///\\\///\\\/// Then the rod is gently (so as to not mess up the pattern) melted into a ball. Here are more pictures. The first two are made with MB131 Marlee. the last is made with MB133 Holloween. Feel free to contact me with any other questions.
