Question Questions about pendants??

Hello,

I have questions that I hope you guys can help me with, what is a wigwag or twisty pendant? Are they the same or two different styles? I would like to make a pendant with the colors pulled this way and that way, but my search has left me with more questions than answers!?
Here is a sample of what I would like to make:

I am searching for a tutorial, know of any??
I appreciate any help on this!
Thanks so much, Renee'

It's called a WIG WAG or SWITCHBACK. There is an old wig wag thread here somewhere that shows how it is done BAsically you make a cone and add stripes to it, twist it in different directions, and melt it back down in itself to make this pattern. There is a great you tube video on it that I can not find... I found some not so good ones.. but not the one I remember yet!

To make the cane, I start with a 2" chunk of 1" solid clear rod. Put color stripes down the outside, then pull out to about 1/3" diameter.
Then do this: http://www.glassartists.org/Gal18238..._IS_CHEAP_.asp

Bashi, I purchased your ebook on Etsy tonight and the tutorial looks great. Thanks, if I actually accomplish a pendant I will post a picture. Wish me luck!
