Cheryl,
I wish you could get down here. I can show you a few different ways I do it.
Try making a round bead. Get it really hot so that gravity starts to drop the glass. Then just flatten that part. Take a pair of tweezers and i just press 2 -3 time on each side which gives it its grooves. then you can take the tweezers and grab the very end of it and just pull it out and to the side or straight.
I also use leaf mashers as well but find I do better using just the tweezers. if you can come down and play, I can show you how but I'm not a great at drawing diagrams.
