well, people keep asking me how I do them and so, so here's the making of "Pet Platypus" .thin wire, beads
the design of this bead animal is NOT by me! I used a pattern model, which is (c) Ingrid Moras.

Owwww it's cute ^^ I have a question

I just inserted them into the bead row.
hmm. that sounded dumb... okay. I first do the normal bead row, like pictures in the tut, and then, before I pull tight, I slip oin another extra wire so that it stands out on both sides.
...
was that clear?

Ok well you might not reply fast enough to this but anyway, is there certain beads and wire that you use? Because I'm probably going to Michaels today and see if there are beading equipment there, I just need to know what kind of supplies. Thanks for your help!

Well it was a little late but I just got some 30ft tiger tail wire, I'm not sure about the size of it and I got just some normal glass beads(4 colors). I hope it will work with those supplies

Whoa, I've never seen 3D bead-weaving stuff before! This looks cool, but understanding the diagram looks a bit hard.

when I realized that the shop I used to buy the beads was closing down, I bought at least one of every colour there, plus enough wire to last me for a century at least.
