Is it stringer, or complex stringer coiled in a tight spiral on the bead? I usually think Victorian when I see these on beads.

might try this
I have Corina's book and I think what you are talking about is in there.
Try this:
Take a white rod and cover about 1" of the end of the white rod with a transparent glass. Making sure that the 1" is completely covered.
Now make sure you completely melt it into one melted glob.
Next you will take a pair of pliers and pull a stringer. It all depends on how fat you want it.
Once cooled you can now make your spiral flowers.
Hope this helps. Someone else may have different or better directions.

When I make those I make a center dot then 5 smaller dots around it.
heat the dots enough to melt them down a bit but not until they are flush with the surface. While the dots are still soft I use a stringer place it on the middle dot and twist.
Viola!
Hope this makes sense

Thanks for the replies...
Karen, I tried your instructions (making the center dot with the smaller dots surrounding) and that seemed to work. I am going to practice now! Thanks
