Hi wow what an artist you are ! IF you were to sell one of these beads, how much would you charge? I am thinking of learning to do lampwork for profit :0)Paula

@paulasmits Hi Paula. You are going to have to check ebay and Etsy for the going rates for flame/lamp worked beads. The artistry of the bead is only one component, as an artist you have to establish a reputation and a client base. I just do this as a hobby and I teach classes, I don't usually sell my work so I honestly don't know the answer to your question.

It gets very hard to get a tall disk to condense directly back down on its self. With a tall disk, the disk usually flops over to one side and ruins the effect.

Wow, I am a newbie and this is the first time I have seen this type of bead. Thanks so much for sharing. You have any tips on doing on mandrel inside/outside - implosion beads? I have tried them and haven't found the right glass mojo yet to get them the way I want them. Keep up the great work.

Thank-You for all your comments. Very Cool! I do not have the I/O mandrel implosion bead style down yet. I know how it is supposed to work but I can't actually do it yet. If you figure it out maybe you can show us.

Thank you for the video! Some greedy gretchen on LE is charging $25.00 for a .pdf tutorial of this exact same technique. Your willingness to share this without ripping people off is highly appreciated!

So im really curious as to why building a tall disc would have complicated things. If you could explain I'd appreciate it.

Once again, great tutorial. You are probably the best You Tube lampworking teacher out there!
