s you can imagine, you will probably have to add more thread as you work the spiral. So, keep this in mind while you work. Also, there are a variety of ways to add a clasp. You can make a toggle using beads, or as pictured in my piece, you can use a little wire and create hook style a clasp. You can really get carried away with twisting. There are also all kinds of variations you can create depending on the beads you use. In the piece I made pictured here, I used four sizes of beads: 4mm garnet, size 6 yellow glass beads, size 8 dark blue glass beads, and size 11 Japanese rainbow seed beads.
