Lol! I think Wayne may have found a powerful source of his very own kryptonite. Might sand that chamber, Jos, to keep Wayne from dissolving into a gelatinous mass. ;)

Now that gave me quite a chuckle!!

Jos, I think the basic idea is sound, but some of the details need refinement. Something about the stem bugs me, but I can't quite place it. It might be the angle it comes off of the stummel.

I think the stem is to small for the stummel at its base. It'd almost do well with a really squat broad bead, something like Downie does in his sandblasted Rakia piece. Go have a look on his site to see what I mean.

Well, Yeti, I see your point, but since Ocelot is right (the angle is a litlle off), that would result in a gap, I guess ...

Maybe a large bead with the top and bottom flattened. The transition from all the straight faces to the round bead on the stem gives me an ueasy feeling. It clashes.
