1. The ads at google
seem to be for beaded stuff. Is that what you are doing or is it a type of glass for stained glass work? Maybe look under the type of hobby?

2. Cultured glass
is a medium that works much like ceramic clay for molded pieces...a liquid that air dries rather than firing. It can also be sculpted before it finishes 'curing'.

I've been trying to find supplies but it looks like I'll have to have friends in Europe see about contacts for me.

4. Not really
That's why I asked. I hoped maybe there would be someone here who knows where to get supplies or works with it.

I've seen some really beautiful sculptures done with it and in Europe some artisans are using it for dolls.

5. I found this info by googling "cultured glass"...
Cultured Glass
A polyform modeling clay consisting of resin and ground glass used by many European dollmakers. Highly translucent. Not generally available in the United States.
