Live Spot Silver
Ouch. I just wanted to say that. Just got some wire and 1000 new little seamless sterling rounds.
I also wanted to complain, in public, about the difficulty in finding seamless 2mm 14/20 gf. I won't bother with 12/20, and all the 14/20 I find, just about, other than one place in Canada (argh!) has "nearly undetectable seams"
well that's great, except the wirework I do tends to bear down on them enough to squish them into little donuts that slide off the beadwork. One can imagine how pleased I am if this happens not at the start of a row of weaving, but as I'm wrapping one up.
Also 30ga DS wire in 14/20 gf. Nonexistant. The Yeti of wire. And I'm a pretty savvy shopper.
That said, it's almost Music Friday again. Comments or no comments I'm pressing on!

About Me
- enso
- Ensō are beautiful calligraphic circular shapes made by Zen Buddhists as an excercise in meditation. Repetition is emphasized. Right angle beadweaving is a series of myriad loops on loops. -- Hence the name for my line - meditative in the making, exquisitely simple in the finished view. I've studied nearly everything in art with the exception of jewelrymaking, metalsmithing and fiber art. Go figure. My work is heavily influenced by minimalist and contemporary modernist sculpture, painting, music and media.
