Im not good enough to lay glass over a toi- small buck and then expect it to take shape for a finished product. (And it sounds heavy!?)

Well, this is the correct way to do it. It will definitely give better results, and be repeatable if you make your mold correctly.
The way I believe OP did it is the lazy one-off way to do it.
I may be completely wrong in my assumptions though. For perspective, I've only personally used glass for repairs and reinforcements. I haven't made anything from scratch.
