I'm still enjoying my new Coiling Gizmo. It makes coiling much faster - and makes neater coils that I could achieve by hand. However you do have to keep an eye on it - it is easy to get distracted and then look down and realise that the coil has started back on itself. This is easy to fix - just unwind it and carry on coiling. However, as an experiment, I thought I'd see what happened if I carried on letting the coil go back on itself. I coiled back and forth until it started to look like a cocoon and then I coiled on a few seed beads for a contrast in colour. I was so pleased with the result that I made two more 'beads' and strung them together into a bracelet for myself. Of course this experiment meant that I got completely distracted and didn't finish the piece that I was intending to do but I'm pleased with my new bracelet!
