The simplest rod implosions that I know of are your basic flower implosion. Heat up a gather, press out a maria, put a few small dots of yellow in the middle (poking them with a pick if you want long stamens), then place slightly larger dots or short, wiggly lines around the central ones in concentric circles. Heat the edge of the maria slowly and evenly, and it will gradually re-form itself back into a ball, forcing the dots to form up into an encased flower. Flattening the rear side and adding a loop on one end will get you a nice pendant. There are numerous videos on youtube that explain the process better than I have. Go and have a look!
