Aw heck, thanks DreamMuse! Yeah, I wrote the article, but I don't stake any claim on the technique. I just posted the link cuz I thought it complimented your post...I don't know about everyone else, but pictures always help me a lot.
Plus, I second the parts about practice. You just gotta do it.
And yes too about the mushing the glass into the bead more to get a flatter ribbon. I learned this off Jim S!!! He does it with a full sized rod, and holds it at an even more extreme angle than what I show in my pictures. I do it more his way now that I'm on the minor.
