I've been trying implosion pendants lately - just circles of dots melted in and then adding more dots. Does anyone know how to do different types of flowers? I tried lines in a circle but I must have done something wrong - it didn't look like a flower at all. I would really like to do a water lilly (I have a good friend who is a Buddhist) but I'm not even getting close. Maybe these are really closely guarded secrets because I have searched and searched and have found zilch.
Also, I'm using soft glass (haven't taken the boro plunge yet) and for pendants, it is really hard to keep rod cool enough behind the maria when imploding - usually gets all droopy. I tried puntying up to a boro rod but I'm afraid of compatability issues when I break/burn the punty off.
I hope this is somewhat understandable - just ran back from the torch with way too many questions in my head!
Thanks for your help
