Hi Everyone,
Appreciate your tips for stringing keishi. Here are a couple of my latest projects, which have been very frustrating. They tend to "go crooked" but I am being persistent, because I think they are really pretty and could look interesting and different. The top ones are dyed, the middle a silverly natural color and bottom ones are newest Kamoka (woo-hoo) which I think, being thicker and 5-7mm (from Sarah at Kojima Pearl) will be much easier to work with.
I have tried different patterns of beads and spacers. then I have to try to "seat" them so they are closest together so that no wire shows. And so they won't settle later exposing the wire by the clasp. But to give a little flexibility they seem to need some kind of spacer, primarily on the very thin wider ones. appreciate your comments and suggestions.
