Something about the ticking sounds from the kiln and the sound from the torch is relaxing to me. Made me want to nap lol lampwork beads are mesmerizing I always wondered how they are made. That's so neat!
I always absolutely love your videos. They're so calming and positive; the perfect thing to put on after a hard day, just relax and watch a craftsperson at work 😊 Been watching for years, and your videos are still just as amazing and wonderful. Keep on doing what you do! 💖
Love your videos, thought me & hubby were the only ones that sing "lowered expectations" 😂, was funny that you sang a little bit of it. I love lampwork beads, but I know that I will never be confident enough to ever make them. But I'm truly enjoying your path of creation & knowledge. You make me want to create new & beautiful things. Thank you for that. ♥
Great video! I am a self taught lampworker and not very good at it yet either. I'd love to share tips and tricks with you and see what you have come up with also!
I like sticky outy term better..Popping Rods sounds a little dirty LOL If you try to make them perfect may as well go to Michaels and buy the ones from China ..Yours are beautiful.I didn't know there were so may steps to make beads .Thank you for showing us how you make beads
The length of the rod and how far she holds it from the fire is why the bit she's holding doesn't get too hot. The rod is thin enough that the majority of the heat stays at the end in the flame.
Steel is a really bad conductor of heat. That's why they make blow pipes for blown glass from steel. If the mandrel was silver it wouldn't work for just the same reason... Silver is a really GOOD conductor of heat, so it would be way too hot to hold.
can't you also make a metal form that once you get the glass on The mandrell you can just roll it in the form so it's even all the way around and it also tells you when you need to add more material

Awesome beads!

The encasing reminds me like the doming effect you get with resin. I really like this.
Beautiful, you are so talented

Yay!!
beautiful, i thought that to cool them down, you could pop them in perlite. have you tried this?
Ok, I have to ask.... How does the metal rod stay cool enough for you to be touching it when the end is on fire?
The length of the rod and how far she holds it from the fire is why the bit she's holding doesn't get too hot. The rod is thin enough that the majority of the heat stays at the end in the flame.

ive blown glass for 20 years in a home studio..i can help you make that bench fireproof. if you have any questions......i am happy to share tips .
can't you also make a metal form that once you get the glass on The mandrell you can just roll it in the form so it's even all the way around and it also tells you when you need to add more material
