Has whetted my appetite to make more projects that will combine beading, polymer and metal clays, and chain maille techniques. I love working in mixed media and find it challenging. In anticipation I’ve ordered a slew of anodized niobium jump rings in a myriad of lush colors. Although niobium is far more expensive than aluminum or base metals, it is still less costly than sterling silver. It is also hypoallergenic rendering it a perfect material for those who are sensitive to other metals. However, what attracts me most about the metal is its ability to accept color. I’ve ordered very tiny jump rings – 2.4mm that require use of a magnifying glass to work, but I find them to be the perfect size to accompany seed beads!
