Description
Listing is for one bead in your Choosen style and Bead hole size.Twist start out as straight lines on tube and get twisted around a few times to create the twist effect.
Wig wag, is made from twisting the piece clockwise a full turn, waiting for that to cool down, and then twisting counter clockwise a turn. tHis creates the back and forth " wig wag" motion.
Reversed axis spiral, you can spot a reverse axis by two spirals on the front and back of the piece. The design is built horizontally on a blow tube, a hole is then popped off the side and a new blow tube is attached. Next the old blow tube is taken off and the whole thing is re-melted and shaped which reverses the axis and makes the design vertical. Essentially the design is melted and shaped twice.
5-6 mm bead holes work well for super small dread or really new dreads that have not full tightened yet. Also work well for hemp jewelry.
7-8 mm small size bead holes are a great for small size dreads or hemp jewelry.
9-10 mm medium size bead hole is the most versatile and should fit somewhere on almost any head of dreads. Also a good size for really thick hemp jewelry
