They are so very frail. You see, the thinnest threads of glass are like dental floss.. so I could probably never send these in the mail, and they might break simply from holding them too hard.

Well, in learning, I recommend taking a weekend class. I never took any courses but have a basic understanding of similar hot crafts and gas installation through goldsmithing. So instead of paying for a course I bought some basic material and a book.. Unless you have an affinity for trial and error, I strongly recommend the investment in taking a class and getting it right from start.
