Birdy, try using CiM colors for the shells. It's stiffer than Moretti and is a little easier. You could also make them out of a transparent color. Once you get the hang of making them, try them in Moretti. It definitely CAN be done!
In place of the sheet glass just use dk. ivory or one of the Vetrofond odd lots that's multicolored, like Honey Crunch or Avacado Marble (which is still available at several sites).
