Aye, you could Eileen.

It is going to one of those Michael Angelo things where you have to be patient while you 'expose' the sculpture hiding inside but for me that would be a little more work than I have the gumption for.

I did reshape the end of a quarter inch brass rod into a 'pointed finger nail' oval kind of molten glass push thing. I found it was good for getting clear encasing closer to the mandrel for better 'puckers' at the bead hole.

I have another two or three shaped into points and flats kind of like Heather Trimlets (sp)tools. (I may have the name all kinds of wrong, please forgive my addled mind).

My only trouble was that I am right handed and the Dremel tool wants to spin the cut off grains in my face so I work in a large clear plastic container with both ends open as a round splatter guard.
