Problem is Silver glass has a way of doing its own thing. I know there are tricks and "things " to make it do the pretty things its suppose to do.. So My plan for the next few months.. is to post my journey into the fancy glass extravaganza! What does it take? still not sure.. But I'll share the good the bad and the ugly.. (actually will try to spare you the ugly) lol.
To do this I'll need to take notes and really pay attention to what I am doing. How many times as lampworkers we make a really cool bead.. and afterward wonder HOW DID I DO THAT? the order the glass is added, the colors used... ect ect..
Below are a picture of two beads.. the top one was my very first attempt with sasha's Silver from sundance.. Oh How I love the multicolors it produces. It did not take much, all thing considered..
All I did was heating it up till red hot then pressed them into copper molds... From what I've read we need a reducing flame. ( oxygen is cut back and mostly propane) it didn't seem to do anything for me..... So still working it..
