Interestingly, the technique you are talking about to "slice" the design is used by some japanese artists in their racked designs. The idea with using that type of technique in the small glass beads is that rather than dragging the glass a long ways, you are just sort of shifting the entire trailed design a little bit to the left or right.
You should come over and look at some of the japanese bead-making books. You would get a kick out of them I'm pretty sure.
