Bead Garden - Polyclay beads using cane method

I'm doing a set of 50 beads, for a workshop I'm conducting at the Texas Art Educators' Association conference in San Antonio in November. Each participant (50) will get a free bead. I find that the easiest method for positioning the beads for brushing on the glaze is to put them on toothpicks that have been stuck in a cork. They look like little flowering gardens to me, when displayed this way. My beads sell for $2.00 each for smaller beads, $3.00 each for the long beads.
