Glass Zig Zag Bead Tutorial

[soiliveinabubble]

Wow! Thank you so much! I love lampwork beads and always wondered how they're made (No wonder they're so expensive!) Do you have suggestions for those of us just staring out?

[13ClownKru]

[nancyinvermont]

Thanks for the video. It was really well done. I've had trouble with these beads but you showed me how to correct the mistakes I had been making! *smile*

[idioticbrain]

Thanks, I'm thinking about trying lampwork out and you made it seem less daunting.

[bearnakedlady]

This was great, and your commentary was one of the easiest to understand and follow that I've seen yet!

[blindskater2490]

Hahaha, for real, 150 bucks? Damn, where are you from?

[Beautifulbetray]

i like these beads in my small ass town beads like those sell for around 5 bucks a peice mushroom pendants sell for anywhere from 50 to 150 bucks its funnie they are so simple

[bearnakedlady]

Ouch! I just bought a lovely mushroom bead for $18. I got to watch the artist make it as well.

[blindskater2490]

werd.... where are you from. i like to see how the price varies all around.

[bearnakedlady]

In Campbell River on Vancouver Island, in British Columbia. I think she gave me 20% off, but still, it would be less than $25 full price.

Then she showed me how to make the mushroom, which is the part I missed when she made mine. :^D

[beadsbylara]

Great video, easy to follow. Interesting color combination. As a woman making soft glass beads it is hard for me to come up with combinations that men might like.

Cool.

PS - I think that is Copper Green you are using for your dots.
