Virginia’s Angie Wiggins gets lost in the swirl of a bead. She puts blends and cane scraps on a base bead and does a bit of rock and roll to make a swirled bicone bead. It’s hard to explain but fun to master. (See a video here.)
Angie enjoys putting her own spin on this pendant. Tiny dots in companion colors track the swirls. She has a background in embroidery and loves to add her signature surface embellishments. Now it’s definitely her swirl.

No matter how many times I see or do the swirl, it’s like magic and so exciting!

This is fascinating! I wouldn’t have figured this out in a hundred years! I bet there’sa fin back story here. How did Angie come up with this idea? They’re beautiful!
