What Marver Would You Use.....
to make the beads in this tutorial?
I know there are a few out there. I want to be sure to get one that will make deep distinct grooves to get the best effect. Can anyone direct me to who carries these? Thanks

I use the Cattwalk tool, but I'm biased 'cos I'm Darcys' mate lol. It is very easy to use and produces a great effect.

Would you mind supplying a link to it ... I looked last night and couldn't find it. (operator error on my part but I'd like to see what it looks like) Thanks.

Is that done with a tool?
Looks like clear stringer was laid down in lines and partially melted in and then the two twists were done - no tool needed.

The writer of the tut suggested this one but I wanted to see if anyone got good results with one that was less expensive. I think i will get this one from Cattwalk, though.
