Lampwork




So, here are a couple of my lampworked beads. The process to create a bead.....with a torch, melt glass around a mandrel (dipped in a bead release), rotate to shape, heat, rotate, shape, heat, finish, anneal in a kiln. Sometimes, you just don't know what you're going to get until it comes out of the kiln.
Here's a link on youtube to see what I'm talking about....
