I looked at Google images of seahorses and made a rough sketch of the bits I wanted to include. I kept the sketch by me as I was beading off mandrel. The best thing is that I'm using up bits of scrap, cheap cathedral glass left over from making stained glass windows, so getting in practice whilst not wasting "good" i.e. expensive glass.
