Wood Bead
Jewelry makers: are there other ways to work with wood?
I've just started working with wooden beads and placing crystal studs in them. I simply drill a shallow hole and use superglue to attach the fake crystal studs. I'm no expert, just experimenting around. What do you think? Are there any other methods?
I find wood and crystals look really good as a combination.
You can also drill holes and thread copper, brass, or silver (colored) wire through the holes. If you want to get a bit more serious, you can get a fine bladed hobby saw and saw grooves in the surface, following a drawn pattern, then hammer or otherwise press the wire into the grooves an ancient technique.
If you want the rooms of your home to have solid, secure doors, and at the same time have the feeling of spaciousness, interior French doors are the answer for your need. French doors are full length glass doors that do all the jobs that a normal door does, but at the same time give a feeling of roominess, and remove the sense of constriction that a closed door can produce. The huge glass panels of interior French doors are fixed together by partitions of wood or other material.
In homes that have exterior French doors, the light does seep in to the outer rooms. But if the light has to be directed and spread into every part of the house, it can be managed only by a combination of exterior French doors and interior French doors. So far as interior doors are without glass, the entry of light into inner rooms will be restricted. French doors can be of two pieces, opening to either the outside or the inside. They are also available as folding doors, and sliding doors, as room dividers. The frames and partitions of interior French doors are available in all types of wood like hardwood, softwood, oak or pine. They can also be of UPVC or composite material.
Slightly tinted glasses, or glass with patterns, are always the better option for interior French doors. Huge glass panels, that are plain and colorless, can give the feeling of absence of door, and can easily deceive people walking in and out of the rooms. Hitting against a glass pane and walking around with a bump on your forehead, or sometimes even worse calamities, is not something that will make the interior of a house comfortable.
interior French doors do intrude upon a person's privacy, so they can be made a part of only those rooms which do not require too much privacy. As such, while French doors could be an apt choice for the doors of dining room, kitchen, study etc., they may not be an equally good choice for bedrooms. However, there are many innovative ways of getting over the privacy problem.
The light that interior French doors provide is such an attraction for many people that they opt to have it even for bedrooms. Fabric curtains of delicate prints are one solution for solving the privacy problem where these French doors are used in bedrooms. When drawn, these curtains will have an ethereal look when seen through the glass of the French doors. Another solution is having Venetian blinds fitted into the glass panels of the interior French doors.
Yet another solution is having adjustable bead curtains or shell curtains on the inner side of interior French doors. Bead and shell curtains are available in various colors and styles. Those who have patience and artistic inclination can even thread together beads in designer patterns with the semblance of paintings. It is only with interior French doors that these artistic ideas can be tried out without sacrificing security.
