After an hour of pulling and stretching shards into the most pathetic rods (that looked more like short stringers) and making a little bead and then only making it fatter by rolling it around on the glass splinters/frit... I made one bead. One bead that never got hot enough to get round and never got hot enough to get smooth... This bead is all I got.
This glass is definitely not soft enough for a hot head. I will definitely not repeat this for a long time until I upgrade my torch. However many years that is from now!
I'm so sad this didn't work out... because the color is lovely. :(
After the beer bottle disappointment, I made these blue beads...
I basically wanted to practice decorating the beads with stringers... I'm not getting the hang of this yet. I will keep practicing.
Here comes another post...
