Heat sinks (like for a computer) are great for making stripey indents. Flower frogs are also good for making a pattern of indents to make bubbles out of. I like dollar store ceramic snail holders for frit on my bench, and lee valley watch maker cases for shards and small bits. Most of my frits & powders are kept in spice jars. I was using a piece of wood with some nails ppounded through it as an optic mold for a while, but I burnt out the bottom & haven't gotten around to making a new one. I have a spoon I use for shaping, too.
