I've done them both...for me I like to make the with the hole through the upper arm area leaving the lower part of the body easily made into either goddess with legs or mermaid with tail. I'll have to dig some out and get some pictures of some as I haven't made any for a few years and just getting back into lamping lately.

It will be a major lesson in heat control to keep the core warm enough without losing the ability to add detail while still being cool enough to keep the detail you add.

Lots and lots of insurance heat and only glimpses of "admiring / examining" what you have done so far.

There are some really good reasons why glass sculptors work in borosilicate and 96 coe glass.
