I agree that hiding the knot - or join - within the center bead or within
the hole in the bobbin is the preferred method of spangling. If you can do
that with any sturdy material - brass wire, fishing/beading filament, or the
"tiger tail" used for jewelry, then you have almost unlimited choices!!
The key, of course, is being able to make a knot that will STAY, and not
relax and then come loose.

I use fishing line and need to hide the knot inside a bead. I would
think that I would do the same thing with beading nylon. I am not fond
of the look of crimp beads in jewelry...would rather learn how to do
wrapping with wire on the end (or fancy hang man noose type of knots?)I
just stick to hiding the knots inside a bead for spangles.

My experience (limited) with beading nylon is that you either have to
tie a
firm knot which is fairly unattractive on something as small as a
spangle,
or you have to use crimps, which look fine in jewelry, but not so fine
on a
spangle. If you could resolve those issues, then I think it would work
fine.

People have 'talked' on the list about spangling using fishing line.
What about spangling using beading nylon? I have got a lot of that
and it is presumably pretty strong since it is used to make necklaces,
braclets etc. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
I'm not long back from the Chepstow Fair and am thoroougly spent out
:-)
I
have been saving up 2GBP coins for over a year with a view to buying a
set
of
Gravestock drawers. I am now the proud owner of a tall set in walnut
and
it is
just beautiful. Since he has retired/is retiring I reckoned this was
my
last
chance.
I also bought a plywood circle with non slip material on top and a
circular
"clamp" on the bottom so I can use my tripod stand without having to
attach the
little circles to the bases of my pillows. I'm delighted with that.
I've also bought various patterns and kits from roseground and
Christine Springett for Christmas decorations - plus thread and a
couple of bobbins...
As you can gather I had a good day and I hope the vendors did, too. I
don't
think there were as many customers as I have seen in the past; I just
hope
we
don't lose this opportunity to see before we buy through lack of
support.
