    Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. : )

    I'm not the best at those, I'm pretty hit and miss. I learned from an article in Glass Line, v31 no 5, by Matt Faulkner.
    I'd recommend checking that out.

    Basically, try using a little bit of silver and fuming it onto a clear rod. There are some great discussions on here about fuming.
    Switch your flame to be more oxidizing, then draw a few thin stripes of clear over the fume.
    Heat up the fumed section and pull it out into a stringer. Gather the stringer onto itself in a chaotic/random way, trying not to
    get air trapped into the gather.
    Punty up to the gather, and attach a thick clear rod to whichever side looks the best. Gather the clear to form a lens. Back with
    a dark color to help show off the fume.

    For opals, I blow a small bubble in the end of a tube (small tube like 10mm or so).
    I use the tube to scoop an opal out of the bag they come in (this way I never touch it and keep fingerprints off).
    Let it drop to the bottom of the tube. Start to melt the tube around it, letting gravity pull the opal down into the clear.
    When the opal is almost encased, suck gently on the tube to pull the extra air out from around the opal.
    Using skinny punties, detach the encased opal from the tube, and skin/pull the extra glass from around it.
    Now it's protected from the flame, and you can attach it to another bigger rod that you'll use for your lens.

    There are people that are WAY better at these things than me, so take my advice with a grain of salt : )

    Try it out, read more on here, have fun! Would love to see what you make.
