I got Davina's very easy to follow Tutorial, and this is what I made! The tutorial is really nicely put together and the instructions clear and easy to follow.
I did not have clear glass, so I used a champagne coloured transparent for my encasing. The bead that is sitting on the tip of the mandrel got a teeny bit of brown opaque in it too, and I am real pleased with it! Now I need to make more for a special project that I have in mind
Thank you Davina for putting this Tutorial out there!
