When I sent a photo of this motif to BDE, her immediate response was that it looked like I had beaded something. Me? Bead? Not if I can help it!
Nope, it's another metal thread that is basically a faceted wire wrapped in a tight coil. It reminds me of a slinky because it boings all over the place.
That yellow thing to the left that looks a little like a slug is string padding, which, if all goes well today, will be covered with smooth purl. Smooth purl is also a wire coil. It is very temperamental and will crack or damage itself it you look at it cross-eyed.
I am more than a little intimidated.
And, I am losing my voice. And still sneezing and snorting and coughing and wheezing. I do hope this is not the way the entire year is going to progress. As usual, I would like a little cheese with this whine.
Glad you still have your sense of humor while feeling sickly....hope you're feeling better soon!

Your slug looks adorable, Ann! The part on the right does look like bead work. Hope you feel better soon!
