Although I've made disk beads, I've never tried to stripe them. My striped beads are started on a donut. Anyway, my question is, how THICK is your initial disk? 4mm or more? I spent this afternoon trying to make this bead and I'm seriously frustrated. Not YOUR fault, something I'm "missing" to be sure!
My other question is this, when I melt my first row of dots in, should they be to the edges of the disk? And when moving 'slightly out to the right', do they all start at the same point from then on, just making smaller with each layer? UGH... I hope you answer this, I think these are just gorgeous!
Thanks so much for your infinite patience!
Amy
