Lampwork Bead Pet Bracelet

2) Wearing protective glasses light the torch and adjust it to the correct height. Heat the mandrel in the flame.

3) To make the mouse, pick up a light gray glass rod and heat it in the flame until it becomes molten. Wind it around the mandrel making the base bead.

4) Rotate the mandrel to balance out the glass. Create a nice even round bead and keep it rotating in the flame.

5) Pick up the glass rod again and add the head, legs, tail, nose and ears to the base bead. Use tweezers and a graphite paddle for shaping.
