SIS stands for silvered ivory stringer. It is often added to create organic looking effects on the surface of a lampwork bead design.
How to make silvered ivory stringer
- Cut some silver leaf the length of the square by about 1" place on your non flamable work surface/marver
- Take one commercially pulled ivory stringer
- If your posh dip your finger in water, if your like me a good bit of slobber works fine, wet the first 4" (or how ever long your piece of silver leaf is) of the stringer.
- Roll your stringer over the silver so it wraps around your stringer, the wet will make it cling like a magnet.
- Flash through the flame quickly and gently to burnish the silver to the stringer.
- Apply to your bead by laying it on and let it melt in....voila!
