In search of new shape

I love them all! The saturn/lollipop press is addicting, though. :)

I have a list going to DH to chose from for my birthday. I have to wait until I find out what he is getting for me before I can order anything.

I may be way out of the loop here, but I like round beads. The bead press shapes strike me as being faddish.

One shape I admire but have not bought any of, is a squeezed cylinder shape. Like this by SeaMist

I like the look of the sparkly spacers. Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't she give a size of the beads produced with this stamp?

Rectangles are a great shape! Perfect for raised florals too.

I'm starting to fixate on the Bead Squeeze. I might have to have one... the beads it makes are "clicky". I LOVE clicky beads.

Yes.....the rectangular focal bead in this pic took me about 1/2 hour to make and the majority of that was shaping......it will be so nice to cut some of that time off. :)

I am not as fond of the look of the Bead Squeeze shape - they look like butts or amoeba (sp?). :) They do look good in bracelets, though, and they look like they feel fabulous. Having the squared off option is soooo for me. I can't wait!!

I played with tons of Donna's beads made into that shape. They just have a nice feel to them.

We are so thinking the same things when it comes to shapes. The bead squeeze looks weird but feels good. I wish I knew what he had planned for my b-day so I could order what I want.

Amoeba? Did someone bring up a biological topic? I could really go for some beads that looked like cells. I personally prefer plant cells (rectangular and flat), but animal cells have a charm all their own.

Yeah, I'm nuts. You should have heard the kids groan in Advanced Human Microbiology when I said that muscle, blood and brain cells (not together) were really kind of pretty.

Yes, I thought that was yours. I like that it's close to, and very compatible with, round beads.

Do you have any of her beads? I have a strand of her flowers. In aquamarine, so they are not the only like it I have. But oh, how especially lovely. I also have a set in the colors of the one I linked to, but with a tab. That lady sure has a way with color!

I don't have any of hers... I bet they're even better in person, though.
