    Hi Cindy, I love your pillow bead. How do you make it? Do you make a square sorta,then push in the sides and pull up the corners to a point? I’d like to try one. I’d also would like to make a hollow one that has a pattern cut out and put something like a small bell inside for xmas When you make a hollow bead what do you use to join the seams with? Do you use liquid sculpty on the seams and rebake, or glue the seams with something like super glue? Thanks again for a list of so many shapes. Mary Ellen
