But who or what is this little hole to dictate how/where we place/attach our bails?, I ask! What if I pretend that donut hole doesn't exist and treat the donut as I would a cabochon I want to transform into a pendant: bezel it with beads and then work the bail off of the bezel.
My husband declared he liked the reverse better, however, in which case the bail is visible.
For this Artisan Clay smoked donut, I let the bail take on a stronger design role and just varied the beads used for the inner rows on each side to make the pendant reversible.
Whether or not the donut hole is a "functional" element in your design is entirely up to you, the designer.
Be well and get going!

I love this design. Well done as always!
Just beautiful! If you and all of the other talented bead weavers keep posting these lovlies, I may have to actually try these techniques! I fear my eyes will fail me, though! By the way, the fist pendant is stunning from the front or the back!
These are so pretty and all this talk about donuts is making me hungry!!! I think the one Terry like the back on is fine with the bail showing. It's pretty!!!
Those are very cool! I was offered a free doughnut at Dunkin' Donuts yesterday and am proud to say that I declined!
LOVE your donuts designs. I still remember the first time I saw your work through Kristie! I just hope we never have to shop together, cause there will be elbows flying over donuts!
