Lampworking / Flameworking - 101.94 - Story Flowers - 104 demo

Hello out there! 🌹👋🏽 I have been playing around with these fun layered Flowers while continuing to research floral murrini cane. 🤗
My initial goal was to make a flower bead in the first place and there are so many different ways to create beautiful flowers within the glass! I think this technique is so cool when you’re looking for lots of flowers with a bit of depth.
I used some mica flakes in the background for the sparkle and some multi-color transparent cane for the petals that gave it the uniqueness I was looking for!🥰 I hope you all enjoy this colorful bouquet!
Thanks so much for joining me!💫
Cheers - Robin 🌸🌼🌺

Hi Robin! I have finally use my torch and make this beautiful beads (I made 3 already and can't get enought). I even use for the first time my bluestone instead of mica and it looks great too! I made a bluestone stringer and put it in a spriral on a bead. Thank you as always for every video you made. Have a nice day my dear friend. Basia p.s. I hope the groundhogs have left you alone!🌺🌺🌺

Thanks so much Robin, i hadn't thought of using a multi coloured cane like this, the flowers look really natural and interesting. I always look forward to your demos, thank you so much for yet another burst of inspiration! ❤💜🌞

How lovely! I don’t know why I never saw this video of yours before.

[TamiEverding]

Thank you this video was very helpful, my first attempt turned out nicely for a beginner. Your videos always inspire me.

Thanks so much Robin, plenty of ideas in a single bead! I have mica powder (for fusing), do you think it would stay on or burn? Flowers with multiple colors are also a great idea!
I’m back from my Glass festival which was a great success, 5000 visitors in 2 days! We all sold well and I sold 25 jewelry pieces ! I have to get back to my torch 😅! Hope all is well with you ! Cheers, Sonia 🌺💫✨

Lots of really good basic techniques. I didn't know you could use mica in lamp work. I love bling❤. Your color combination is lovely. I tend to go with blues and purples, forgetting how the yellow and reds can really make everything pop.

I'm still in my first month, so far I've done swirls, and pulled drips. I'm learning dots right now, and after I'm comfortable with those il try flowers. Cool bead as usual! Thanks for the lesson :)

Beautiful Bead! I am a lampworker for many years. I would like to know what torch you are using. I have been using a Nortel Midrange Minor for over 35 years. A few years ago I switched to a 20 psi concentrator in lew of the big oxygen tank. My concentrator stopped feeding oxygen to my torch 3 days ago. I do have another in route to me. I switched to a Carlisle Wildcat torch and have not used it. Your torch looks like maybe a Carlisle. If so, how do you like it. I started watching your videos yesterday. I as in the middle of making orders when the concentrator stopped . Thank you for sharing. It helped my anxiety of not getting done what my customers are waiting for.🎉🎉❤

I've made 8 of these yesterday, carefully maintaining heat, annealed at 980F but 4 of the cracked along the mandrel, vertically as if to break in half, when cleaning the inside after they were off the mandrel. I had a eggplant core and clear and dichro and the flowers. Do you have any secrets to heal them and prevent this in the future? Love all your beads and tutorials

[DakotaMoone-ee]

Hi Robin! how long have you been doing lampwork beads. your so good

[mariacohen]

Hi just tried. Question- when I make the 3 dots( white- flatten- transparent color- flatten) then when I heat dots to push center poke with a stringer it the dots all melt together into a mess? Should I try less heat? Dots further apart? Big thanks 🤗

[elizabethwatson]

I need a good white. What I have, the edges get fuzzy when I do a melt in

[justseekingtruth]

First time viewer. Very interesting. I have to say the background music is really distracting. Would be better without.
