Default What do you do with your Twisty cane

So I've made a bunch of complex twisty cane and it's great to look at, but at a loss as to what to do with them-

anyone care to post pictures?

thanks in advance...

I love making twisties. I suspect these are not the complex you are talking about, but I like showing them none the less. I'm sure you will get some other great examples of twisty cane.

I would think that if you start going through the daily Gallery thread, you could get all kinds of ideas.

I love threads that showcase all one type of bead! I'll play!

Here are some of my twisty beads:

This one I just ran a length of ribbon twisty around the edges of the mushroom cap. Like a rim.


This is some black lace just drawn onto the heart and melted smooth.


Twisties applied, melted smooth, then raked down the center for form feathers.


This is a twisty of original kronos and gaia wrapped around and around the base bead, melted smooth then reduced just slightly.


Ribbons inside the core of a floral.


Pleats...the base for the frog...I love to do these.


Ok, that's enough hogging from me. I'm having serious torch withdrawal and this isn't helping at all. LOL

~~Mary

wow...some of these beads are really really old. I forgot all about them. Now I'm going to have to revisit them to see how I do now.

ok....I'm waiting for more "examples" I've never tried them, although I have tried to make my own twisties but I never know which colors to put together.

These are made with just a simple twistie encased with clear


or 2 dancin around together and encased with clear


and you could always use more clear and create more of a depth to the twistie/bead




the skies the limit I suppose...let your imagination think in layers...
