Here are some examples of beads finished on the lap grinder to get those creative juices flowing.  Remember to think from the inside out and/or in layers of layers of color.
 
CZs and silverglass surprise in the middle
 
Hollow
 
Frit on the outside makes a nice random pattern

Silver glass surprise inside

Manipulated the glass layers by pressing from the outside
 
 Goldstone surprise in every box
 
 
There are lots of things you can do that come out beautifully when you grind a little of the glass off.
