Sherry Bellamy did a tutorial using copper mesh.....   http://www.etsy.com/listing/58302128/tutorial-how-to-use-the-chaos-copper

I must admit, I didn't manage to make it work....but then it was quite a while ago when I tried it.....perhaps I should have another go!

It's brass mesh or wire or frit that gives you the bubbles.

Rita, it's copper mesh that gives you the glass pushing through effect and it's much cheaper to start by practicing with the copper mesh than with silver. The silver is much less forgiving than the copper. Have a look at http://www.nanopod.tv/sherry_bellamy.html and scroll down to the bottom right for a chaos bead picture.
