    I've used frit--broken glass bits--from a bead supply with
    success for lumps. Also, you can take Morretti glass rods, cut
    off small pieces, and grind them to the appropriate size with a
    mortar and pestle.  This allows you to keep a supply on hand.  I
    haven't seen the flowers in Thompson's catalog, but my guess is
    that they are cut from glass canes used in lampworking--which is
    how they are made.  Any advanced bead making manual will show how
    this is done.
