Well, if you swirl really gently and slowly, instead of shaking, you won't spill your drink. but it might not get mixed as well.

Actually, are you talking about swirling frit into a bead? To do that I basically heat and let the glass drip all over and move around and it swirls it pretty nicely

Oops, I forgot to put this part: if it is just put your colors on randomly, melt in and then use a pick or stringer to swirl them around!

I use small stringers (what I call my screwdrivers) that I pull no more than 3-4" with my tweezers, thus I have a handle to screw (rotate) my stringers.
My signature beads are swirlies!!

I realize there are more types of swirling (on beads!!) than you could define. Just wanted some ideas of others techiques. I have used all kinds, some with better results than others and some of that depends on what you are swirling - frit, dots, random colors.
Hey Krista, where in South Carolina are you? I'm off the coast by Charleston.
Thanks gals!
BTW, I like mine shaken - not stirred!
