I actually hadn't considered not making beads. And I love to watch the glass flow when it's white hot. Yes it can be magic when the glass starts to roll and you turn the mandrel just right and presto....the perfect bead. On Saturday I was working in a high wind and I think that had an effect on my beads. I was concentrating on getting them perfect but it's hard while doing the "wind samba". I have beads that appear perfectly round but when put to the balance test ( I put them on a hat pin and make sure they rotate evenly) they failed. I would like...in a perfect world....to have every bead pass the test. Is this a dream or do some people actually make perfect beads everytime?
