Bead fail

Description

So while I was on hiatus, I went to the Corning Museum of Glass in New York, and took a 40 minute workshop that involved using glass and making it into stuff like wind chimes, pendants etc.

Well there were a few different workshops to choose from, some involving sandblasting, the fusing workshop involved placing glass pieces onto a pre-made base, and they fused the stuff together for you, which I thought was boring, a flame working workshop that let you make beads and pendants, which was the one I took, and a glass flower making one that I was a year too young to be taking. Anyway, during the flame working workshop, I had accidentally let a rod of glass go through thermal shock once, made the bead lopsided due to the fact that my hand didn't turn as much as expected and the glass went to one side, and basically had the instructor by my side for most of the time because I nearly burnt myself. If I had to do it alone, I bet this thing would turn out terrible, and I would have a third degree burn on my hand. Glad that didn't happen!

Also, sorry for the terrible picture quality, I took it with an iphone, one hand on the phone and the other pinning the bead to the wall.
