Is there a tut for using these shards in a bead? I just got some in a val cox box.. and am in love with this stuff.......... I made a couple "stained glass" beads, but adding them one by one is a PITA!
Im definately going to try this.......... I am off to do it now!

You're supposed to break them. That's what they're for
I'll see if I can find some images of shard beads soon... anyone else want to show some of theirs?

Here's a bead with some silver plum shards. I can't get a good photo of it but it's got a lot of fun peacock colours. You can do lots of fun things with shards!

Thanks Karen.
I've really got to edit that tutorial... I do things a little differently now... (learned a lot),
so my goal today is to re-work that tutorial.

THANKS
THANK YOU so much for such an informative tutorial!! I'll have to check out the thread for beads made with shards & try to make a few. I've been wondering what to do with all the twisties cluttering up the place. I don't think even incompatability should be a problem in a shard -- It should just break on that seam shouldn't it? THANKS AGAIN

Teena - I bought my tubing at a stainless steel industrial supply house. Had to order 12 feet and cut it myself but it was very cost effective that way. I paid about $4 apiece for them - 10 inch long tubes. A group of us went in and shared the cost. Arrow Springs carries them for around $8.00 a piece..they of course do all that work for you!

I've never seen it if so. But if you go to the Wayback Machine https://archive.org/web/
then all you need do is enter the info/address from which ever tut you'd like to find. It will give you a date when it was saved, if so, and just click on the date.
There's so much older good stuff on LE this happens a bit.
