Thank you very much Jaybird for faving these Fused Bead Whorls,

Thank you very much Random_Ashleyness for faving these Fused Bead Whorls,

Thank you for looking at them,

Thank you for the links showing those beads. I have/had some of those beads. Gave tons of them away to the my children's preschool. Still a little concerned about the fumes that come off of them but they do look really cool.

Hi April,
Yeah, I made sure to keep the kitchen fans on and open the windows while making these whorls, it's a stinky craft project.
I used so many different plastic beads. They all worked, but I just seemed to have so many little clear plastic faceted beads, and clear tri breads, they came in these huge tubs/buckets in the kids craft section from places like Michaels or Wmart.

pearls....don't work, at all, nor do the metallic shimmery ones.

I really like those, but I'm not sure which beads you used. Can you post pictures of the beads you used. Were you concerned about the fumes that came off of them. I worry about melting some plastics because of that.
