These are some of the bead shapes that made it into BEADS 2011, the buyer’s guide edition in April.  There are three sizes, The papa bead is 22 mm hole to hole and 20 mm wide.   The mama bead is 19 mm hole to hole and 15 mm at its widest and the baby bead is 15 mm hole to hole and 13 mm at the middle.

And here they are in their finished state, just a simple black bead cap and clear glaze to show off their vanilla creamy whiteness.
