The construction is the same, however, the spiral was made chaotic instead of regular.<br />I bought the opaque rubies at sunlightgems.com, but you can find them in other suppliers on occasion. I usually purchase my supplies directly from bead shows, and not from the site, since I get to pick and choose the strands I like.Eni Okenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02591761099130104600noreply@blogger.com
