I don't think I can do that, but if someone made fimo clay lentils I bet it would be that difficult at all

< I was thinking the same thing about the 2 holes or even 3 holes. Couldn't you use like a spacer on your mandrels? and take the glass across several of them? I have no idea, but it seems like it would work.

it is possible, and there are people out there that can...but part of the thing that a lampworker does is take a rod, and constantly rotate it in their hand. (take a pencil, and rotate it in your hand. Now visualize dripping honey on it, and keeping the honey *on* the pencil - the rod used is a *lot* thinner, but same idea). If you tried to take 2, and keep them level with each other *and* rotate, it would be a *lot* more difficult.

I think that there's different techniques for doing it, just don't know right now how to do it. I am just at the "molten honey on the pencil" stage, LOL!

...and I must be missing something because I just don't like them all that much. Here are my lentil thoughts:

The Good Thing:

Shape is kind of nice for bracelets because I'm guessing they would lay nicely.

The Not So Good Things:

Made with a mold, which kind of turns me off AND Everyone and their uncle is making them.

I kinda agree with the last statement. But it's always a new thing to learn, and challenges. like how do you make the holes correct?

Someone promised me one of the CRS's on WetCanvas, so I can't wait...I might take it to the class with me, and ask the instructor to show me. Unless they will show it anyway...

I have a button mandrel that will hold two rods at once and I can still turn pretty easily. I might try this tonight with my itsy bitsy lentil tongs.
