Filigrana - What do you do with it?
I have a whole bunch of filigrana and I need ideas on what to make with it. Pics would be helpful as well. Thanks

No pics, but I like to use it to make hollows or the end caps for hollows. You can also use it make some interesting twisties....oh, and raised scroll work.

Stamen cane for flower centers and impressive very thin stringer effect, the clear outside just disapears into the base bead and visually you end up with really fine stringer that is still easy to apply!

My DH uses it in his hollows all the time. He lines it up perfectly. I can't do it, myself.
I like this one that he intentionally did not do it perfectly.

Hollows are one of those things that look and sound scary, but once you jump in and do a few, you impress yourself! Practice getting the technique down, then worry about shaping. Here is a link with some good picture instructions and there is also a thread in tutorials that has a video of a hollow!

I could do a hollow, waaaaayyyyyy before I could do dots! Don't sell yourself short, jump on that torch, and play.

Thanks for all the ideas and help. I love those beads. Wish I wasn't at work so I could try something with it.
