Lampwork Glass Beads – Part IV
You might have seen glass lampworkers make glass figures in a matter of minutes (there were lots of these videos on youtube), but those people usually devote their whole careers to making glass jewelry or figures, so if you’re a novice, you’d better just make a rough shape and then polish it to the final form.
Or you could just buy the beads, would save you a lot of time and headaches. Some beads are really simple, with nothing extraordinary on the exterior, others are multi-layered with different colors of glass, have extravagant shapes and whatnot – it all depends on how deep your pockets are, as pretty much everything else does.
