Twisting wire!
My thumb and forefinger on my left hand are developing some hard callus..
I have been busy winding wire around and around to make more twisted wire beads...just got some put on a wire for another bracelet...
It hasn't been tumbled, and I haven't added the clasp yet,
All sterling silver weighs almost a full ounce...
I ♥ these beads!

That looks really great! Tumble? wuz that?
You put it in a rubber barrel with some stainless steel shot, (YUP kinda like the stuff that goes in shot gun shells) add water and a detergent for cleaning, it goes on a machine that turns it around and around...say for about an hour more or less...
When removed from tumbling..it's bright shiny and the silver is tempered so it's harder...
Just smashing!!! I love it. I wish I could wrap like that.
thanks Jaime~
