So I then tried to do it off the bead think that i would add it after I had imploded the glass through the mesh but it still did'nt happen so back to the drawing board.
I have another idea which if it works I will post about it here.

Lynn, after the failure on the bead I tried the same off mandrel trick - it worked a little but my mesh was so small. I made a maria of clear, attached the mesh and swipe coated the mesh with ivory. Melted in like an implosion - don't know how I'd get the darn blob on a bead if i did succeed.
