This picture is just a simple "pleat" bead. There's been an ongoing discussion about them on Lampwork Etc in recent weeks. It's really just a "twistie" - an opaque paddle of glass in the center, with piles of transparent glass on both sides, then heated and pulled out while twisting - but the color choice makes it look like there are pleats. Cool, huh?
Anyway, I'm out for most of next week, taking a five-day class from the wizard, Loren Stump. I seriously doubt I'll end the week with being able to make elephants, though...I've heard he survives on cigarettes and Cheetos....should be an interesting week. Also, his classes go from 8am until 9pm, 11pm, midnight....while I don't have the constitution for that, I hope to at least stay in the game. There won't be any updates, probably....
