Two questions for the price of one!
One post - two questions please!
I am interested in buying some fine .99 silver wire to make lines/dots on the surface of beads and I am wondering what gauge is the best to buy? Is 28 gauge small enough? And where would I find this please??
Also, I have been seeing some beautiful beads in the gallery that have a flower imploded on one side of the bead with the other side a regular bead. I would like to buy a tutorial to learn to do this and I am wondering if someone can point me in the right direction please?
Oops - just counted and there are more than two questions here! 
Thanks!

28 gauge or 30 is best, and I get mine from Rio Grande.

Anyone want to try a stab at the second question please?

Thanks for the recommendation MaryBeth! I am torn between the one you recommend and the abstract implosions tutorial by Sherry. I think they both have something to teach me but I can't do both at this time.
