I recently tried "sketching" on glass to see what the results would be like. And the answer is...I need a little practice!
I wanted to try the equivalent of a line drawing on a simple background. So I picked up a piece of stringer and after laying down the first line, realized, I should have chose a more opaque piece. so I went over the same line again and made the "sketch" too wide.
Ah, life's lessons. And after looking at this bead some more, I think I would want the "drawing" to be smaller for a better proportion. So I will try it again sometime. But meanwhile, I'm hoping you'll post links to some of your "sketch" beads and show me what you can do too!
I would love to have your steady hands, there is a trick of breathing that helps. Try a stringer with several layers or strands of whatever color you want, I do this for the parrot eyes I 'used' to make.

Ah, what a cool idea! I hope you keep pursuing this concept-- I like the look of this first try, even!
