May-Be (I'll Try Something New)...75 beads
As the Autocrat for the event, I needed to come up with an idea for site tokens. So, I thought beads. I needed to practice making them and I figured I'd get a lot of practice this way. We needed 100 beads total. Lady Elysabeth (Lissa) Underhill make about 11 beads and Baroness Drueta de la Rosa made about 4 beads and I made the rest...about 75.
During this process, I got much better at making symmetrical, even annular beads as well as barrel shaped beads. I also got much better at making spots and learned to do spot on spots. I learned how to rake and was happily surprised to see the effect of raking a black spot on a white bead...black hearts.
I also learned to use black and white frit.
