I have been playing with the last of my bread tag beads, and made this DNA double helix - simplified of course from the real thing. I used some wires to thread the bread tag beads, and dug it into a sponge before twisting the two strands - not exactly as the diagram I found on the internet, partly because I couldn't make it go that way, and anyway this is art not science. I used kebab sticks for support, and added bits of curly copper wire and broken jewelry, a piece of plastic peg - DNA can get contaminated. An enjoyable experiment. I have put on the video I took to try and show the effect. Whether it works or not on the blog I will see. It makes my eyes go a bit funny if I look at it for too long.
