Filigrana ideas
Hi everyone,
I have just ordered a selection of filigrana colours, but I have no idea what to do with it! (dumb, i know...).
Does anyone feel like showing off their filigrana beads?
Cheers!

No pictures, but I like to make a base of turquoise, encase it with lime green filigrana, around and around and around, and then put tiny turquoise flowers on it.
Or...a base of coral, turquoise filigrana, coral flowers.
Or...a base of pink, black filigrana, pink flowers.
You get the idea...

It's great for making those DNA twisties. I also use the green that's over white under flowers. And for viney dudes.

My DH used it for hollows, but I can't do them neat like this.
And I use them for goddess beads sometimes.

I've pulled two or three strand twisties, then used fragments in my lace beads, like this:

Pull stringer with it. It makes writing anything on beads easier!
