Thanks Judith and Desa
for your kind words. I was so happy with the result that I didn't bother about shaping the bead just in case I crack it, coz it's almost 2 inches in height...so it become a freeform but was pressed lol!
As for my answer to your questions, I guess my answer re: formula is to purchase the tutorial from Anouk and you can use this as a guideline to make your silver glass sing. The fun is in experimenting and seing how the magic unfolds.
cheerios,
