I wasn't happy with the results of my first effort at Day 7's beads. So I did them again. Since the point of this exercise is to recover and improve my bead making skills, I think it is worth doing them to my satisfaction.
A little more color variation, too.
And if you ever make a mistake with the stringer, you can feel free to do what I do. Grab a rake (pointed tool for manipulating the surface of the bead) and turning it into a random swirl pattern. Not at all historical, as far as I know, but still a pleasing result and it salvages a bead for use in modern jewelry.
