8mm twist
The brown and white stripes accent the parrot green and green sparkle stripe in the bead give it a very earthy feel, not super loud and bright colored. It's has calming color combination and reminds me of being in the forest.
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
11-12 mm large size bead hole is still pretty common size for dreads and fits easy over ends that are a little chunky.
13-14 mm Extra Large size bead hole is for some chunky dreadlocks or places where multiple dreads have grown into one
15-16 mm super large size bead holes are for the chunkiest of dreads. If you think you need something bigger than this, contact me.
