have had this for a long time and its not selling so will try to give some away.
have some springy brass wire anout as thick as a human hair 0.25mm I think it was when I measured it and that is just about 1/1000".
I will be willing to send a sample of this free ( even internationally ) to someone who has ideas of how to use it and is willing to share them.
anyone want a few yards of this?
its free
inc free shipping!!!!!!!!!!!

Jewelry making was my immediate thought, yeah. I can also see it being 'sewn' in a decorative way (maybe three rows of 'stitches') along the edges of a scroll... *ponder*

You should use it to make a wig for Sif.

IS this still available?
I could totally use this for my many crafts. Wire weaving, embroidery, and inlay all came to mind immediately.

As far as showing you an example of work, alas I can not... My LadyWife tablet weaves and She recently have been doing the research for an Art/Sci project of weaving using the "Brocade" technique. it was common for precious metalssuch as gold and silver to be used. Of course, such a thing is not really possible in our day and age, so you just so happened to come by with a solution to her quandry... I include a webpage stating what I just mentioned as to how it is documented...
http://housebarra.com/EP/ep06/10brocade.htmlSo, as it states in the first paragragh about the gold thread, that's how she plans on using it...
I hope this applies...

If you send me some I will promise to use it. Someday. But there are more crafty people who are much more likely to do something cool with it sooner than I will so please consider that in your choosings.
