Leslie demonstrates two beads, from beginning to end. Using an extra long mandrel and thermal fiber , Leslie shows you how she shapes a long cylindrical bead with silver leaf burned into its surface. Then she shows you how to curve the bead into shape without bending the mandrel. On the second bead, Leslie adds silver wire tracery before she shows you how to not only curve the bead, but to also how to shape the bead into an overall twisted shape, like a corkscrew. Approximately 25 minutes.
