Default Anyone interested in custom-made glass knobs?

At my school, a local artist was giving a presentation on advanced beadmaking in my Art Metal and Glass class. I mentioned that some of here beads would, with a little modification, make spiffy knobs, and she was interested in trying a few.

Anyone interested in these? Price would range from 20$ for a pretty spiffy knob to 40$ for a gargantuan, super-elaborate knob. UV glass and LEDs would be employed to make 'em light up.

Remember that these are not only spiffy knobs, but have a very high WAF, especially if your SO is big into arts and crafts.

The sonic properties of glass are far inferior to that of wood and other previous metals

Softly illumiinated glass would look nice with a wooden enclosure. I might be interested if the knobs fit a 6mm shaft.

I'll see if I can get some pics of previous beads.

Knobs would be pretty much made-to-order, so you could get a knob that fit a snuffeluphagus if you really wanted one.

Please note that these are BIG knobs (4-6cm, or more) I'm talking about. Little knobs are much less.

Would they be clear or can they be a 'frosted' appearance?

Frosted, chocolate-coated, you name it!

(These are custom-made, after all).
