Does anyone make window beads ? Not the Michael Barley kind...
I want to make a square shaped window bead....square trans core with opaque lining around the square.
Also need help with doing this in a bead press. My mom seen some and I thought I would try to make some for her.

I've tried to make them, but they always end up wonky. If you have bbq mashers it helps.
Presses just take a bit of practice to get the amount of glass figured out! Hopefully someone will have better info for you. I would love to see your results!
are you talking about the none faceted kind?
where you mask off the flat parts and etch the corners???
or are you talking about like Patricia Santana makes?? porthole kinda beads?

Actually I just went to her site and yes very similar to hers...She uses a press I dont have a clue how she does them in a press.
I am just wanting to do them free hand and square. I tried some but the inside trans core gets ate up by the opaque outer lining.
I will try to find a pict. of the one i made.
