Well, that was certainly interesting.^^First time I've watched anyone make a bead... that looked like it was hard.I'm gonna have to remember that, too, should I ever start making beads.The turtle looked great, and utterly adorable, by the way.^^

I was able to keep it warm enough thru the whole process so there wasnt any cracking. I havent had one crack yet. But your right it is very important to keep the whole piece warm when making it.

Thank you for sharing! You're very kind to do so. It seems you kept the little guy out of the heat for so long! I'm always nervous about leaving a piece out for too long, going to all that work, and it cracking. :-)

Very cute and easy to follow. Very pretty flower bead too. Just a suggestion, the radio in the background was very distracting.

I love it! I am a turtle lover from WAYYYY back, when I was a litle girl and owned them. My turtles have been trial and error, and now I have learned from you to leave toes and eyes for last...thanks, Sam! YOU ROCK!
