Our first prototypes

Yeay! After all the frustration of finding materials and suppliers, we finally received our first batch of beads in court and could get stuck into the fun of prototyping at first designs. Although we planned to vary the designs regularly, we needed to establish a coherent aesthetic and get some feedback from potential customers. Initial feedback was very positive and show that we are on the right track, although we did identify areas of improvement that we can now use to enhance our designs and quality before we are ready to launch.

We are well aware that we will need to maintain a very high standard of designs, and so we thought it would be good to take some time initially to experiment with lots of different designs to discover what does and does not work.
