Metal Thin Tube Beads and Liquid Metal

Sort of like bugles beads, but made of metal. Some are curved, some straight, some round in profile, some square, and some appear to be twisted. Interesting accents or a design element in their own right.

The fine, shorter tubes are known as Liquid Silver and Liquid Gold. (Similar to bugle beads, but crafted of metal rather than glass. These are also finer, and with better ends than bugle beads.) These particular beads are plated, not solid, which makes them more affordable.) Use them as spacers between other beads or mass them on multiple strands for a lovely shimmering effect. (Remind me not to dump them directly onto my scanner again! Had to pick them up individually!)
