Sorry about the delay in posting a new tip. We have been getting crushed in the warehouse and I have spent quite a bit of time cashiering. I have been diligently listening to customer questions but they have all been related to past tips. Someone brought up some gold bullion and it reminded me of something I learned about it.

Gold bullion is a product that has been around for a while. When I first started, I would look at it and wonder what it was for. At one of our floral design shows, I watched and listened as a designer worked with it and was commentating on it. Typically, bullion comes in the form of the picture above. What I did not see or realize is that it is meant to be pulled apart and stretched. This turns it into a fine wire. You can see it used in the gallery below. Once pulled apart, the bullion can be used as an accent, a wire tie, or to provide a light structure for an arrangement.

Oasis introduced bullion wire on a roll. That product is in the related products in the column to the right. It comes in a variety of colors.
