Thinking of making a tutorial
I enjoy lampworking but I find myself making tools and gadgets for lampworking almost as much. A couple of months ago I had an idea to make (Not sure what to call it) custom pin frogs.
How its used: Create a maria, warm the face to a dull glow, then press onto the pins. This leaves dimples in the face of the maria. Depending on what your goal is - you can use the dimples as a guide for placing dots or drawing. Or, do an air trap implosion that starts out with whatever shape you want.
So, my question is - would anyone be intersted in a tutorial that gives the process to make these?

Perhaps a visual presentation of the finished product would give a better idea of what you are using your design for.

Sounds good to me! I think it's a FAB idea!  And I'm picturing how neat a "trapped bubble" marble would look with the bubbles in a heart shape As Shrimp suggested, though, if you have a finished product "promo" pic., I'd love to see it!

Here are a couple pics to show you how it could be used. The artist that did the marble didn't do the best job (me ). The Shell shards are from Samma Parcels.

Val - Thank you and yes I have seen that. It does look like a wonderful tool, indeed. I have never used one though. My assumption is that to make shapes (like a heart) you would need to follow the "grid" pattern in the tool which may make a "blocky" looking heart. Or circle, or anything with curves. Plus, I just enjoy making things myself which is why I came up with the method for making these.
