Those are really nice. is it fume or color?

care to pass some tips on the tech u used? ;)

[sarah]

dear frost,
no fume, only colors,
technique: take a stringer, draw a snail, add dots next to each other along the stringer, trail the stringer between the dots, implode a bit.
I will not say more, you have to :bangHead: a little bit...have a nice week end!!

What does being right handed have to do with witch way the spiral goes?

[sarah]

the spiral is a stringer that I apply on the rod. I apply the stringer with the left hand while I am rotating the rod with the right hand. I'am just not able to do it opposite way.

[schmoinkel]

I see..... well, you could try spining with your left and tooling with your right. I'm right handed and thats what i normally do. Also, you could do it as you normally do and flip it around to another rod once you aply the stringer.

Please don't get me wrong, your pendants are nice, and theres really no reason to go the other way. I was just curios why you felt limited becouse your right handed.

I've made pendants sort of like that on a tube for a few years.
They always used to go one direction only, but some annoying guy at a show kept pestering me "Make them the other way, all the spirals in nature like in seashells go the other way! Dude!"
So I tried it and it was a little akward at first, but ultimately not too difficult. Just a method adjustment.
