The second way is much simpler, and the example I showed you from Bill Boss is one of those. It consists of a single colour bead (white) which has been decorated with some type of glaze to resemble a chevron pattern. In Briare, I have seen one other example of these, owned by a local woman and found on the dumpsite. That one actually has been made in a specific shape as well, with the ridges. I think this one is now showing in the museum as well. Some of the exhibits were changed, and quite a few of her beads were included.
The Bapterosses used these type of glazes to make plain beads resemble other beads (like fancy and striped drawn beads, and I am pretty sure that these chevron types were both made by the Bapterosses as well.
I believe that none of these chevron types were actually succesfull enough so that they could be sold. I believe all of the ones that are around are 'work in progress'.
I have not seen any chevron style beads come from any other Prosser beadmaker of that time.
