Well, this is sort of what I tried, but it turned into an angel instead...
Now do you tell my fortune?

1) When I messed up, I made the mess into a white CONE, so step one is make a cone of white.
2) visually split the cone into 3 parts.
3) using a brass tool (or maybe a stainless or tungsten... dont' know, haven't tried) slowly and carefully rake or split the cone into those thirds.
4) you might have to go back and re-do them once or twice to get them evenly separated into three "balls" but it's much easier than trying to put 3 beads next to each other on the mandrel but keep them defined at the same time.
5) decorate as you wish!
I'll try to post pics or some kind of visual of this if I can get my DH to draw it in autocad or photoshop...
Let me know if it reads well though please... I freq. know what I WANT to say, but dont' always get it out of my mouth right!!!
Happy Snowperson making!
