New pendant style and news!

I was making some long bi-cone beads from polymer clay, because the elegance of that shape in lampwork beads is gorgeous. But while I'm making them, I realised that these beads looked more interesting and quirkier with a curve through them (hee, yep that's right, I arrived at this conclusion through meticulous research. It's not like, you know, I accidentally squashed one and thought it looked cool. Nope.)

So these are some simple versions, in my Etsy shop now. Next step, more caning experiments on them.




In other news - and note my apparent casualness, despite being in paroxysms of self-doubt - a line of my beads are in an on-line bead shop. One that isn't my own Etsy shop! You can see them at Big Bead, Little Bead Shop
It's a really cool bead site anyway, with helpful gadgets and lovely vintage beads.
