Nice, how did you make them?

I bought a starter kit for bead making which among other things includes a soldering torch and glass rods for bead making. This is my tiny workspace all set up:

You melt the glass in the fire and wrap it around an iron rod. And once you got a bead you can form it with pincers into different shapes or add more glass colors to it etc.
