making a butterfly stringer for I/O flowers

[Mike E etc]

Lets see...hum...a better explanation....hum, I am off to do a quick mouse drawing with my right hand....OK;

A refference to the flower I am talking about;

............

A. 7mm 104 coe punty
B. orange gather
C. case in clear
D. white gather
E. clear case again
F. heat and roll the orange and white over each other, heat and twist. Do not twist too much because when you pull the final stringer the separations between the layers of glass will get very thin.
G. the twisted gather, it will have layers of clear, orange and white.
H. Repunty along the layers with 7mm boro and pull to desired stringer size

Now all you have to do is the I/O thing;
