Default can I do this with coe 104 glass?

I have seen some boro teardrop beads, they look to me more like blobs of beads, here is a website that has them http://www.wholesalecentral.com/unic...catid%3D116491

I really can't find a really good picture of them. Hopefully someone will have made them and can give me advice on how to do them.
Thanks!

That sounds too easy David. I was going to suggest make the basic shape, put a dolop on the back and punch the hole with Peter's Tweezers.

There should be some samples somewhere in the Gallery as well. I remember seeing some a while back.

I think Dawn has a tutorial for them in her Raku thread. Good luck trawling through a very long thread, though.
I'd do them on-mandrel, myself.
