Dragon Scale Bead

Back


This is a bead inspired by *NAOS* (naosglass.com). She was kind enough to allow me to video the tutorial that she posted on the Lampwork Etc. forum.

Google - Frantz Art Glass, ABR Imagery, Generations Glass, Winship Designs, or any other distributor that comes up under a "lampworking supplies" search.

Wow I love your tutorials. I watch them over and over. I am a beginner, and was wondering, if these can be done with just the Hot Head Torch using the MAPP gas. Will it work with the silver foil, is actually what I would like to know. Or Do I need a hotter torch, with oxygen mix, to work with the foil?

Yes, this bead is perfect for a HotHead torch. *NAOS*, who wrote the original tutorial, does all her work on a HotHead and her beads are stunning!!
Thanks,

Great tutorial! I had actually read the tut on LE and seeing it done "live" really helped! Can this bead also be encased? Or will it lose that cool dragon scaley antiqued look? THanks!
