Torching a Millefiori bead

You can find the jewelry I made with my beads in my store posted above.

In this video I am making a square millefiori bead with a zoozi press. I use moretti glass for this bead with a black base and daisy millefiori.

That is exactly what it is, I have a couple of them out of old PCs and I had my brother cut and polish them down, they work great for smoothing and the ridges on the other site make nice marks in the beads. I do not do the pandora style beads and I just make beads to put in my jewelry. Sadly stocking my etsy store has been too much for me lately as I sell to fast locally in markets and festivals. If you make your own glass beads and want to aquire some mille, just google online :)

So is that a polymer clay Millefiori bead? Kind of funny, i found myself in front of my webcam wearing funky glasses and listening to techno making glass beads earlier... nice work girl. I checked out your esty page too.. great job. You seem like a festival go-er!

Thanks the millefiori is made out of glass as well.

How much would you charge for a bead like this at a festival????? I am super new and I want to start lampworking. So are these sold in sets? How much would I get to charge for a set if I went to a festival?

Hi Laura, I came across this video while looking for into on millefiore. I was wondering, at about 4:35, what is that square thing you are using? It looks like the heatsink from an old pc I had once... anyhow, your video was very interesting to me. I'd love to learn how to do lampwork. I checked out your site on etsy, but there was only one thing for sale? I thought maybe I was in the wrong place. Do you perhaps make those Pandora styled beads? With the .925 silver cores? Thanks. Molly
