You did a great job, they don't even look like your first attempts! I love how the silver looks and it always comes out better than the copper, brass, or aluminum. Just wish it weren't so darned expensive!

I have used GinkoDesigns annealed silver tubing and bead caps (the tubing is very nice to use) and also some MetalMeThis bead caps. I am particularly pleased with how easy it is to add the bead caps, although I had to buy some extension pegs from Dave before I could do the largest beads.
I shall now work on producing some more complex beads -I thought I would break quite a few to start with, and didn't want to spend too much time in creating something really special, only to lose it. In fact I think I have only broken 3 beads and I suspect it would be quite difficult to break one with the bead caps, as they cover up any little irregularities around the bead hole
