- Hi Everyone! 🌹✨ I love to see how deep and dimensional the glass can get! This can be a very simple process…with the right tools! 🌹To achieve this kind of depth, I am using a Ball Stylus. It is actually a polymer clay tool that I found hiding in a random drawer… but you can find them easily online! This is a perfect tool to press into the glass. There is also a fun cane that I will share for the pattern! The depth is then revealed by adding several layers of clear on top. The results are definitely candy for the eyes! 😂
In other news…Patrick and I will be out of town next week for a much needed vacation in Colorado. I try to post demos every week but it doesn’t always happen. There are times when I’m feeling burn out and just need to step away from the torch for a bit. But don’t worry! I will continue making these demos for you all as often as possible! 💫🌹
Thanks for all of your support over these last few years….it truly keeps us motivated and inspired! ✨✨✨Enjoy!!
Hugs and Cheers to you all - Robin 💫🌹

Hello Lena!! 🤗🌹 Thanks you so much! It makes me so happy to know that you are enjoying all these demos!! I don’t even know where this one came from….I just found the ball stylus and the light in my head went on! 😂 I hope all is well with you and that you have a wonderful week ahead my friend! 🌹💫 Cheers- Robin 🌈✨✨✨
Wow! Great design, Robin !! Love it ! Have a great vacation in beautiful Colorado 👍
Hi Sonia! 🤗✨ We are here in Colorado and the view is spectacular! ✨🌹 I’m glad you enjoyed!! …I had no idea how the different canes were going to look, as this was an ‘Off the cuff’ design. I love how the colors rises and falls under the clear….mesmerizing! 😍🌹 Great to hear from you! Cheers- Robin 🌹🌈💫
That would make an interesting marble Robyn. Your the best
Hi Robert! 🤗🌹 This would absolutely make for a fun marble…I can see it now!😅 So happy you enjoyed!!
Many Thanks & Cheers- Robin 🌈✨🌹🌹🌹
Hi Robin, big thanks as always, especially for the tips in your commentary. Great to see some tools being used as well 🤓
Hi Dan! 👋🏽🌹 So glad you enjoyed! It is fun trying new tools and finding different ways to play with the glass. 😃✨ As always, great hearing from you and many thanks!! 🤗🙏🏽 Cheers my friend - Robin 🌈✨✨✨
Oh oh my 🎉 once again you amaze me- with a never before seen creation. And at the end when I was going to ask why no bubble with the deep spot ( covered with large dot of clear) you said no air bubble. Can’t even imagine how much clear glass you go thru… oh and you mentioned using your beads… is there a location for us to see how you use them?! Again huge thanks ❤
Hello Maria! 🤗🌹 I’m so happy you enjoyed this one! And yes…I go through a lot of clear glass. lol! I start to get nervous when I see my stock pile dwindling!😂 One of these days I will do a short video showing some of my more interesting art pieces, but for now I must apologize as there is nothing out there to see. A long time ago we did have a website, but keeping it up was expensive and time consuming.
Thanks so much for asking…I truly appreciate! 🙏🏽✨ Hope you’re doing well!! ✨✨Cheers- Robin🙏🏽🌈🌹🌹
Love it. I have used the ball press for flower pedals but this is really fun. Get tired of twisting this is more marble like. Elegant. Thanks Robin.
Hello Vickie! 🌹✨ Great to hear from you and Thanks so much! 😍I also get tired of twisting the glass! (Lol… today’s demo was exactly that!😂😂). So happy you enjoyed this one! 🙏🏽🌹
Cheers -Robin👋🏽
That's really cool Robin, I especially like the green and blue one.
And a tip for anyone who has a clear Boro rod,you can make that tool out of Boro ,it works really well.
Hi Buttercup! 🌹✨ love your Boro idea!! It does work well as a pressure tool! I have been meaning to use a Boro paddle to press down Murrini with but keep forgetting when in the moment. 😅 Glad you enjoyed! Thanks so much for sharing!! 🙏🏽🌹🌹 Cheers- Robin 👋🏽🌈
@scottwoodresearch I made one with a ball on one end and a paddle on the other end to use for murrini. Maybe you could make one in a video where your using murrini. I bet people would appreciate that.
@buttercup8932 That is Brilliant, Buttercup! 😍✨ Thank you so much for sharing your Paddle-Ball Tool idea! 🤗 I will definitely try it out in an upcoming demo and credit you for sure!🌹 I have been so curious about using the Boro as a tool….excited to try! 💫🌈🌹 You Rock!!🙏🏽
Big Hugs- Robin 🌹
Absolutely love your videos!!❤
Thanks so much, Wynette! 🌈😍 Glad you are enjoying the demos!🙏🏽 Cheers - Robin👋🏽🌈🌹🌹🌹
OMG! We were visiting Colorado earlier this month too and got pictures with the same troll! Really cool to have been in the same spot as some of my favorite artists 🙂 I picked up a set of these ball stylus' while browsing in Michael's with my wife. I can't wait to give this technique a try. Thank you for the inspiration Robin. Your channel is the first place I come when I need a creativity boost!
Wow Bobby! 😂👍🏽 What a crazy coincidence that you were in Colorado! And that you saw the troll!How awesome is that?! Also glad to hear that you bought a ball stylus…Im excited that you are going to try this technique out. There is so much to explore! 🌈✨ I’m honored that you have enjoyed and been inspired by the demos! 🙏🏽 Thanks so much for sharing. 🌹✨Cheers- Robin👋🏽💫
Looks like fun!
Hello Diane! 😃👋🏽 These are fun to make and I love to see the depth getting deeper after every layer of clear! Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks so much! Cheers- Robin😍🌹🌹🌹
Another interesting design and technique. I've used dapping punches to make depressions in glass, but a ball stylus would be much easier to grip. I hope things are warming up for you as fast as they are cooling off here.
Hi Jirup!✨🌹 Glad you liked this one! I love looking for new tools to play with in the glass. I just found this one in an old drawer of art supplies and thought I would give it a try! Love the depth it gives!! ✨😍 It is definitely getting warmer here…I’m glad the dungeon is in the basement!😂. Hope you have had a chance to get on your torch with the cool weather coming your way! 🙏🏽🌈 Big Hugs - Robin 🌹🌹
Hey Robin, hope you and Patrick are ok and had a great vacation seeing your parents and the drive wasn’t to hard on you or Patrick. I love the cane on this it Is beautiful and the technique used is truly very interesting and unique. You have a very ingenious mind and an interesting one. I have previously tried a ball stylus myself on a glass bead and found that if not careful when putting the clear glass over where you have applied the indention marks you can end up with a wide range of bubble sizes from none to large but I did also find it gave character to the work as long as they weren’t in an area of the glass that could weaken it. But all in all I really do love this bead and the cane, the bead so screams you my friend. I hope you are having a good weekend and enjoying your time on your torch. Hope you are still having great weather where you are. Say hi to Patrick for me please . Stay safe my friend and look after yourself ❤️ 🌹
Hi Kelly! 🤗🌹 Thanks so very much!! 🙏🏽 These were a lot of fun to make! I did notice a few tiny bubbles in the pockets but tried to be careful when adding the clear. The size of the ball is 6 mm and I also used 6mm clear rod that I think if it was any bigger I would have definitely trapped bigger bubbles. 💫✨ Patrick and I made it to Colorado just fine. He drove the whole time!…amazing!! What a great guy!😂 We did stop overnight as the total drive took about 22 hours!! We were so tired and sore once we got to our destination! 😅
Feeling great now that we are here and enjoying the beautiful Mountain View! 💫✨🌹Great to hear from you as always!! Hope all is well with you and you’re feeling good today! 🙏🏽✨ We will be heading back home Thursday, so I will hopefully have my next demo ready for Saturday…see you then!! Cheers- Robin 🌹🌹🌹
@@scottwoodresearch so glad you enjoyed doing this bead because like I said the cane and bead are truly stunning. Thank you for telling me the measurements of the stylus and clear rod as the size of the clear rod does explain why you got so little amount of bubbles in your bead. The size of the stylus was just perfect for the size of the bead any bigger or any smaller and I don’t think it would have worked out as planned. It’s not surprising both you and Patrick were in so much pain after a 22 hour drive even with a break in between as sitting in a car for a long period can be excruciatingly painful especially when you suffer from chronic pain already and your Patrick is a total gem for driving the whole 22 hours to Colorado. I’m glad to hear your having a great time in Colorado with Patrick and your parents, I bet the weather is beautiful, if you don’t mind can you please take me some pictures of the mountains and send them to me in an email when you get back please if that’s not too much trouble as I would love to see how truly beautiful they are? Say hi to Patrick for me please and have a safe journey back Thursday. Looking forward to Saturday’s tutorial and seeing what you come up with for a bead, pendant or even a marble as your brain works in wonderful really detailed oimaginative and truly creative ways so you could really create anything you put your hand to with glass as you are honestly a amazing lampwork artist in your own right my friend. Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your vacation and time with your parents ❤️ 🌹
@kellytomic5372 Awe!! 🤗Thanks so much Kelly. Your kind and thoughtful words of encouragement and support are so much appreciated!😭🌹🌹🌹🙏🏽. My parents have a hot tub on their porch and we are looking forward to jumping in later on. We went up into the mountains today and got caught in a snow storm…it was beautiful to see the weather changing so quickly and being high enough to be in the clouds is magical! 🌹💫 I will send you a few pics when I can! Patrick says Hello Kelly!👋🏽😃 talk to you soon- Cheers- Robin 🌈✨✨✨
@@scottwoodresearch I will always give you words of encouragement my friend whether you need them or not as you are good to me as well as also very encouraging to me. I bet it was so beautiful up in the mountains and being caught in a magical snow storm in May is stunning and bet great to see, I know it was for me when I was on a glacier in June in Canada one year. Enjoy your relaxing time in the hot tub and you can tell me all about your holiday when you send me photos in the email when you get back. Catch up with you laters and I hope both you and Patrick enjoy the rest of your vacation my friend ❤️ 🌹
@kellytomic5372 Hi Kelly! 😍👋🏽 We had an amazing time. I will send you some photos as soon as I get a chance to go through them… Lol! There’s nothing better than having a little winter in the off season! As much as we wanted to stay longer it is good to be back home. I will catch up with you soon! Hope you’re doing well my friend. 🌹✨🌹Big hugs to you - Robin🌈✨✨✨
