Hi, I make bracelets with locally collected sea glass, by wrapping the sea glass in a wire cage. But, I’d like to try drilling a hole to create different designs, ie do away with the wire. How do you go about drilling sea glass? Many thanks Maree Green

Hi, I’ve been using fimo clay for about 3 years now but I struggle to be able to blend colors together properly. Is a pasta machine essential to do this? Also, what is the best varnish to use? The actual fimo bead varnish is fairly expensive, but clear nail varnish goes tacky.
Thanks for your help!

Is there a better way to end Shamballa bracelets, or any other macrame bracelets, ,than knotting te thread and adding glue?

Will you please tell me if there is something to describe about SOS. What does this mean and what are you going to start new in it? What sort of ideas you want?
