I haven't tried yet as you can tell.

Reenie:

I've not tried encasing it...I've found that as soon as I get the bead "hot" again - at least I would think hot enough or close enough to the flame to encase without it cracking, it reverts to it's original simple black form. I did make a really cute Big Hole Bead with tiny raised Beatles on it - and used the Nebula for just the wings - came out really cute (I'll have to post a pic.) but I'm not sure encasing would work so well - at least not on my torch.

If you are successful, though, let us know!
