THANK YOU! I can really visualize what you are telling me to do!
Here are some bears I just made for fun with Devardi colors. I can't wait for the new shipment to be available this Friday!
The glass has such great sculptural uses due to it's stiffness. I just encased a goldfish I 'painted' using Devardi glass and it didn't smear at all! That's a first!

Heating the bead up in the beginning, should give it enough internal heat to stay out of the flame for the duration of the encasement when you get faster and more used to it.
Hope this helps.
