dear Brian, and Arachnes, I am a little too late but looked through my few old bobbins. I had a few examples of swirly and dotted glass bottom beads, but there were a couple of oddities one a coarse ceramic and another organic with odd porthole decoration. I don't know if it is carved wood or seed of some sort. The ceramic bead looks like it has squiggly lines filled with sealing wax, which is missing in places. has anyone seen beads like these? I've posted pictures to Arachne's Flickr.
The other thing that is striking is the variation in spangles from large heavy ones to ones with only a couple of beads. There is one Spangler in particular who does a ig bottom bead with two side beads. All quite different to the six square cuts and a Venetian of tradition.
