So, I went on a course with the fabulous Carla di Francesco in August, and learned loads: we did some off-mandrel stuff (no hole in the middle, so technically not beads, but fabulous for understanding and manipulating glass); and obviously everybody needs a paperweight and glass beefburger Wink

and this week, using the stuff I have learned, I finally got around to buying a tutorial from my friend Jennie, first attempts last night came out okay

LOL at Ruth and her pumpkin beads! I'm with Maria: the last ones are gorgeous colours, but the blue flower one in the first picture is really lovely.

What a great idea, Tina! Maybe a good idea for your SS recipient, too?

LOL yes, even those who have everything probably don't have a glass beefburger. 
Gorgeousness, loving the blues too.
Must be a fascinating process.
