Here are the ones I did Sunday evening. I was trying to produce two beads of similar size and pattern and to produce a focal bead incorporating all three colours. The shapes are now more reasonable so I will go on to try to make my cube shapes more regular.
These beads are all made from Moretti glass rods.
The middle bead was made by making five small beads side by side, 2 black, 2 green, one white, marvering the resulting long bead to shape and then using a pick to pull some of the colours towards the centre. I wanted a bead larger than the two black ones to act as a focal bead and I think I've achieved this.
