So I went to AC Moore today to pick up some supplies. Besides the embarrasment of standing in the bedazzle isle for about 40 minutes, I was finally able to find the flexible needle and beading wire.

I was a bit unimpressed with the needle. The twists are much coarser than in your pic dave, as if it only had about 1/3 of the twists.

The bead wire has a lot of promise. Following the GHQ instructions, I formed the wire with a pair of Xuron ridged pliers. The result is very small, flatish wire with a diagnal cross pattern that looks a like like chain from a distance.
There's a shyness found in reason
Apprehensive influence swallow away
You seem to feel abysmal take it
Then you're careful grace for sure
Kinda like the way you're breathing
Kinda like the way you keep looking away

There are many different brands and grades of fineness. I suspect since I found mine at Michael's, it's a matter of who carries what. I'm happy to send you a couple, if you like.
