Day Four - Bicones

A bicone is a bead that has been shaped on a marver (see the last entry) to give it a shape that tapers on both sides, like two cones put together.

I've always liked the shape of bicone beads.  There's something just personally satisfying about them.

And yes, I am aware that so far all of them have been the same two colors.  I do have other colors of glass.  I just like working with red and black.  And I like the striking color combination.  Don't worry, a different color is coming tomorrow.
