Of Polymer Clay and Glass

[uuhlisssuh.livejournal.com]

Does anyone here work with either mediums?  I'd like to start using polymer clays and making lampwork glass beads in my beading but I'm a little intimidated by it all.  I know that working with glass is difficult but I can't seem to find a class where I live nor do I know of anyone who already works with it...any advice would be much appreciated!
