Well, I have to improve my photo techniques since the flash is washing everything out but this should be good enough for a start. The way this game is played is that I post a close up of part of a strand and my guesses/beliefs about what they are. Then if you want you can correct me, abuse me, or add comments about anything you think might be pertinate to the picture. So, starting on the left the first bead looks like a common "sandcast" bead. The second appears to be a trailed bead but I'm not sure what the correct term is for that design. The third and sixth are also trailed beads. Are these what they call "Zen" beads? The fourth is rather washed by the flash but it is white with twisted stripes. Probably a drawn bead. The fifth really is that neat aqua blue. It is rectangular in shape with a square cross section. Not sure what the proper term is for them either. So there is a start, what do you think?
