Fire Mountain Gems and Beads
announces Accu-flex® Beading Wire Wire is now available in metallic colors: copper, bronze and gunmetal. These bead stringing wires are beautiful - even bare! I would call the bronze an antique gold & to me, the gunmetal is more of a pewter color, but the copper is spot-on! It is great for tin-cup style beadwork where the stringing material shows between beads. Fire Mountain Gems and Beads |
