Thanks!
In Brazil we call it waxed cord.It is really waxed and stiffy enough to get through the beads!
Have a nice weekend.

@Linda K.: That cording is a beautiful way to make a necklace of lentil beads! Very pretty. I've used something like that to make necklaces in the past; I need to look for it & see what it's called. I'll post back here when I find it. I haven't tried it yet with polymer beads, but it would be perfect, especially since PC beads are so light…

@ Monica: Thank you so much for your reply. That sounds a lot like C-Lon or Superlon in the heavier weights, like C or D. I had completely forgotten about that kind of cord/thread until I read your reply to my question.

I've been making jewelry for many years, mostly using metal links and Softflex covered with seed beads, Fireline with woven seed beads, or silk thread to hand-knot pearls. Polymer clay has now introduced me to so many new ideas and ways to make jewelry. I just love this site!

Hi Linda.Thanks for your message. As it is a long necklace, I have used no clasps and I have just finished it with a simple knot.Concerning to the type of cord, I do know know how do you call it in USA but it is a thin, strong textile cord, waxed all over.Really waxed . It is excelent to move it thru the beads.
I hope I ´ve helped you.Pls let me know if I can be of further help.
Happy 2010 and Warm regards.
Monica

@ Monica – Your lentil beads are beautiful and I really like the way you have strung the necklace, with the knots around the beads. I'm curious about what kind of cord you used and what kind of clasp or other finishing technique you used for your cord. Thanks.

Monica,your ring is one of the most beautiful rings i have ever seen! Complimenti! Did you put some gloss varnish or just sanding and buffing to a shine?
Cindy,I have the same Fimo with tiny glittering particles in white-but mine are gold.It's from Fimo "effect" section.

Thank you Monica for responding to everyone, I am sure they all appreciated it! I haven't seen Fimo glitter in white, so it didn't dawn on me that is what you used. It looks really cool. Great job!
