Vicks276 - What kind of tiger tail do you use?

I havent done any jewellery making for ages (since last year sometime!) but I used to do loads, sold quite a bit and really enjoyed it. My two boys are being taken on holiday by their grandparents at half term so it is the ideal time to start again and give me something to do when I get home from work!
I had been using Beadalon, the last one was a Satin Silver colour but I'm not sure if I like it. Because its coated, it looks a bit plasticy IYKWIM.
Anyway, cant even remember what other wire I've used or who I bought it from on ebay, so any recommendations would be greatfully received from any of you ladies.

Thanks.
Jo

Thought you might like to see my creations. I would love to start selling but so far no1 has bought any of these on Ebay or Ebid so as nice as they are I guess they're not to every1's taste or it might have been I was too cheap and scaring people off (priced them all under £5 each plus postage.)

I got some from ebay, it was ridiculously cheap like £2.99 for 100m, and it is the best one I have used so far. It is really strong. I'm pretty sure it was from k2-accessories_07 they are really good and combined postage is cheap too.

Here's something I made last night, a chunky charm bracelet:



Made from large aqua pearls (some wire wrapped), red glass pearls, vintage faceted crystals, aqua bicones and some gorgeous handmade frit lampwork beads by a lady named Tan.

And Ruthibe, ebay is inundated with handmade jewellery. Why not try somewhere like Misi, Pinkdoodle or Etsy, they are specifically for handmade goods. You're stuff is lovely by the way x

Thanks Vicks276. Payday on Tuesday so I'll order some then and hopefully get back into it.
