I am brand new to bead making. I have worked with fused glass for several years. I make jewelry with my glass. I have moved to the beach and like to make sea creatures. My latest project has been jelly fish earrings. I made a very simple top out of clay but watching you do your disk gave me the idea that glass would would be amazing if I can do it. Is it possible to make an umbrella shape on the mandrel? Would it be difficult? If so I will work on it for a later date but I think they would sell so well if I can pull it off? I have a bad habit of trying things that are way over my head as my initial projects instead of starting at the beginning and building. I can’t afford too many failures at the moment so I need your honest opinion if you think I am being too ambitious. Thank you for your opinion. Sincerely, Suzanne

May we see the completed bead when it's had time to cool off? Or ... one similar? I understand what you've shown us - just don't understand what the finished one will turn out to be.

Didn't see the bead!!!! Oh. XXB
