Default All the Bead Shapes

I'm trying to brainstorm different bead shapes. Specifically the handshaped without the use of a press type. Having picture examples would be nice too. I just posted my pictures because I didn't want to step on any toes with someone else's.

Wanna help?

I'll start with the basics.

Triangles, and what are now called 'stubby bicones' I guess.
I'm on ipad so no pics handy.

The only things I do use a press for is lentils (nobody said I couldn't turn them into something else by accident though ), and sunflowers - just cos I love the press..

Everything else is by hand, including hearts, rings, bails, hamsas, bellflowers/canna lilies, bodies and heads (skulls etc). They're basics for me, anyway LOL Very rarely is anything not freeformed or pulled and tweaked from a basic bead.
