Nice setup, I find it to be a bit easier (and safer) to work with the glass from the rod to the bead closer to or still in the flame and NOT to let the gather build as it's easier to add more glass than to take away excess that ends up on the bead from heating too much glass, getting the glass TOO hot.
Of course I do! That's all I usually use - would go crazy waiting for glass to melt otherwise! Hope all is well out there in B.C. - miss Joanne and Maria. Not as much lampwork out here. Hope all is well! Georgina
Thank you for making this video. I just bought some earrings made in the Czech Republic using this technique. They're beautiful!
