I, for one, love to learn along with a beginner. To hear them say, 'oops, no don't do that'. And, indeed, that's what it would take for me to know that something wasn't correctly done, as that's how much even way, way less I know about the subject. So, thanks for taking us along on your journey. You know we're all cheering you on! This is so mesmerizing to watch. You did a great job! Looked professional to me! Thanks for sharing!
Yvonne, great morning. It was wonderful talking with you. Loved how you explained how you worked with the glass. I love (Bev's?) Idea of selling three beads so we can make a necklace. This was fun. Let's do it again. Again thank you for being there for us.
Three beads is a great idea, especially if one is larger (like a focal) and the other two are a matched pair. I always liked having a focal for a necklace and a matching pair for earrings. A five bead set is most ideal, if four of them are matching pairs/sizes since you could put a pair either side of the focal and a pair for earrings. Also great for bracelet making too!
Excellent video Von! I love how you make your stringer, I never did it that way but your way is very nice! I always just used pliers on one end to pull, so always ended up with a little funky end but just used those for frit or whatever later on. Your way the stringer is quite lovely and clean/consistent on both ends, excellent!
hey, glad you're expanding into glass, I am a soft glass and boro worker for over a decade < this is a alt account name for gaming > I also do jewelry. but, PLEASE MOVE YOUR LINES FROM OUT OF IN FRONT OF YOUR TORCH, you're only using a small flame not as much of a threat though stringer can fly off onto the lines, but you have your Gas lines directly in front of your torch, That is a Major safety issue < no fear or judgement we all start out how we do, but for SAFETY , Move those Lines ASAP. With that said I love all the videos you have been making and the stuff you make, so keep it up. just saw this video though and I do not normally comment & for your safety and household move the lines , Much love & Peace & Happy creating.
@@backtoearthcreations Yeah, no worries, have fun melting. you might want to use a cement backer board piece cut out in front of your station to protect the wall as well from any flying stuff.
I thought I was the only one spitting out a ton of issues, I haven’t started my glass blowing journey yet but I’ve worked around welding,cutting torches and I saw a lot of no-no’s
This was fantastic and the high tech "filter" for the camera is genius. What is a "stringer" used for? Ahh - to make it thinner to get different effects for bead making.
@@backtoearthcreations good I’m glad, no hate intended. I’m just a safety nut and I spotted some concerning stuff. I saw other comments and i noticed you acknowledged them. I hope you took some time to do a couple more safety checks on ur work bench. Thanks for all the good advice in the video!
Thank you for your humor! I have almost everything, when my glass gets here I can start making glass.

Heya, Jmax! I had a great time in the premier! Thanks for hanging out! (getting back to work at the torch today!)

Congrats on you first lampwork glass tutorial!
Loved watching you work with the glass. Keep it up!

Fascinating!!!! I've been wanting to learn how to make my own lampwork beads... so I'll watch and see how YOU do!
Love it!!
Darn, I missed the Premiere, but awesome awesome stuff! ✌
Good job 🥰.
Nice!
I'm so thrilled to see you doing premieres! I meant to ask you if the face shield and new setup has helped with the heat issues?

FIRST!!!! rofl literally never been early enough to do that before so i had to!!
lol! :p
Wish I could learn to do that. To hot for me
“Im in front of my ventilation” *AC unit blowing towards her torch*
It’s literally blowing fumes right back at ur face.
Hey Colton! you'll notice the light on the ac isn't on; we don't run the fan and the ac at the same time 😘
