    Hi everyone. I am new and this is my first posting. I have been
    making jewelry for about 10 years. I read Elaine question about
    needing small glass domes. She was thinking about slumping glass to
    make them. I have another Idea. I have made several pieces that
    needed glass domes, I cut the ends off glass test tubs from a
    medical supplies store. They come in all sizes. Its very easy just
    wrap the glass tube with masking tape and use a cut off disc with
    your flex shaft. I have made all sizes from very tiny to large. I
    bezel set mine so there was no need to finish the edges but you
    could. (you may break a few but there cheep) hope this helps Betty 

God be with you always
Betty
