Speaking of pleated beads. I've seen the Tonba Damba book and that works fine for smallish beads.
This can't possibly be the same technique that Michael Barley uses for his long focals? He calls it something to do with a whale.
I thought I read somewhere that he uses a blade or knife to do his but the effect is very similar. I've tried it by pressing ridges into a light pastel base and then press encasing with a color transparent but it doesn't look like MB beads. Maybe I'm to heavy handed. Anyone got any tips for this look on focals?
