Corina's book, Passing The Flame, also has a picture of a pleated bead on page 118...

This is neat! Is that "shampoo" on the ends? It looks kind of iridescent! Very pretty stuff in here - one of these days, I'm gonna try it! I'm on a Hot Head, too...!

Awww thanks! No it's not shampoo it's CIM Ginger. I made another one earlier today with urboros rods and I actually got real pleats. I'll see if I can get a pic. This one went a bit quicker. lol

I finally found one of my pleated beads. It's not a great pic, but you can see the effect. I used Clear and one of the tropical corals.

Here are my cased twisty beads that I think are what others are calling pleated.

Hi, want to thank you SO much for your video - not sure if these look all that pleated, but spreading my cane, only encasing the cane has increased considerably how far I can spread it out. They take awhile, but I am just having the best fun. I am "cane making obsessed", and now I am "cane spreading obsessed" - my muse is pushy - she gets in a rut and won't let me out - I am not complaining though - thanks again - Virginia

The great thing about this thread is it got me making twisties (ribbon cane) and doing them so much better than before! 
But I have to say, you all have the patience of saints to do these beads. Or maybe its just me. . . and boro . . . they take a LONG time!
I'll post some pics soon of my attempts, but I think they look like striped beads more than pleated, LOL.
And btw, I'm supposed to be making crosses for a local shop and got sidetracked on these fun things.

It may be just me, but I make a distinction between the pleated and striped beads by whether there is an assymetrical fan to the twist. For example, my Fin series is what I would call striped beads.
What I would call a pleated bead is more like this.
Am I just being too picky in my descriptions, or are these both forms of pleated beads?

I didn't think there was any actual difference. For a name, I thought they were all encased twistie beads. I guess names are what we make them.

I agree Nancy.
I mean don't they all originate from a twistie?
I thought the only difference is choice of glass used and the tightness of the twistie.

To me, it's all about the way they look. Yes, they're all made from twisties. But as you said, Dona, the choice of glass plays an important role. IMO, in striped beads, you only get a one dimensional look. For me to consider something a pleated bead, it must look... Well... pleated! Like the pleats in skirts. Three dimensional. That look comes from a careful choice of opaque AND transparent glass, the construction of the twisty and, of course, the construction of the bead itself.
Take the usage of the term "ribbon cane": I was taught that ribbon cane is flat, not round. There must be a flameworking glossary somewhere. If not, there should be. LOL! It would be nice to have consistency throughout the medium.

I think a Glass Flameworking glossary would be wonderful. I often am confused as what to call my "cane" - I just keep making them. I think if someone saw my little glass studio and all the cane or twisties they would die from laughter and wonder what in the world I am doing. I have been too sick to go out there for a few days, and am going thru twistie-cane withdrawl. It is a whole new additional addiction to add on top of lampworking itself.
anyway - thanks for the kind words, Verena and Beadmaven - I love feedback from other lampworkers - I am kind of in the middle of the middle of nowhere - not any other lampworkers right here - have to travel a bit - then they are all boro workers - will have to do some hunting around - see who is in the "woods" - Virginia

Great beads everyone!! I don't know the correct terms for anything, but I call these pleated also. I'm still amazed at all of the different looks/effects that we can create with the same basic thing (twistie).
Here are a couple of my current ones.
