- Hi Everyone! 🤗🌹 I must be in the mood for Spring to get here….as I have been thinking about floral designs lately. 💐 This particular element is one I see frequently and is usually found behind a flower as an accent pattern. They look like tiny feather Plumes to me! 😅
It is good to know how to make a variety of different shapes and patterns…then you can pick and choose your favorites to enhance your own unique style! These Plumes have always intrigued me and they are relatively easy to make. Focusing on just the Plumes also gave me room in the background to showcase a ‘new to me’ color by CIM - Poolside Dichro!
I hope you all enjoy!!🌹🙏🏽
Cheers- Robin 🌈

Tri-colored stringer - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
For those having trouble I soak my beads in a jar of water for a few hours before removing them from the mandrels. Using pliers as well.
Hello Buttercup!😅👋🏽 I have also soaked my beads in water before taking them off the mandrel. Then I discovered the Foster Fire Smooth & Tuff formula! It is my favorite!! 😍 Thanks so much for sharing your tips!! ✨🌹 Cheers - Robin 🙏🏽🌹
I am not a bead person but I have to say I really enjoy watching your videos. I see a lot of things I want to try in marbles.
Hi Robert!✨👋🏽 I’m so glad you enjoy these Beads! I will definitely get another marble demo out at some point!😃 All of these ideas can be translated into a round! Thank you so much!! 🌹🌹
Cheers- Robin 🙏🏽✨✨
Hello Robin, I 've just started making glass beads. You are doing great job and explain it very well. You inspire me thousands of kilometers away, thank you very much. I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching you. Please keep telling. 💐💐💐💐 Pinar.
Hello Pinar! 👋🏽🌹 I’m so glad you have found these demos helpful…that is the best compliment ever!! 🤗 It has been my pleasure to be able to share what little I know about this amazing material with you all…especially for those like you who are just starting out! ✨🌹 I am so grateful that TH-cam has helped us to connect with people on a global scale….it truly blows me away just thinking about it! 🌈🙏🏽 Thank you so much for your comment! If there is anything you need help with concerning the glass, let me know …I will do my best to assist!! 🥰🌹✨ Have a great weekend and Cheers- Robin ✨✨🌹
Beautiful floral beads, love them all.
Hi Shelley! 👋🏽🌈 Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed! Cheers my friend- Robin😍🙏🏽✨✨
Gorgeous bead, Robin. The colours in the stringer worked beautifully together.
Hi Jirup! 🥰👋🏽 I’m so glad you like this tri color stringer. It is so much more interesting than just a single color! 😅 in the final pictures I had made a few of these with a yellow that turned brown. At first I was disappointed so I made the last one with just violets. But looking back now, they look better than I thought…especially seeing them all together!😂✨ Many thanks my friend!!
Cheers- Robin 🌈💐👋🏽
So love this bead. I just stink at raking- I know- Practice… again big thanks 🩷
Hello Maria 🤗🌹 I was also horrible at raking the glass. I found that using a stringer to drag the glass is much easier than using a pick…at least in this situation! 😅 And giving the heat a second or two to soak in before pulling really helps. ✨ So glad you enjoyed this one!!! Thank you!!🌹
Cheers- Robin ✨🌈🌹
Gorgeous bead!! Absolutely LOVE the bead and the video. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge with us!
Hello Kelly! ✨🌹 Thank you so much!! 😃 It is wonderful to be able to share what little I know about this magical material with you all! ✨✨ I truly appreciate your kind words and support!!🌹🙏🏽
🤗 Many thanks and Cheers- Robin 🌈✨🌹
So amazing. Thank you ❤
Hello Kristina! ✨🌹 Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed! 🙏🏽✨✨Cheers- Robin 🌈👋🏽
Lovely. The pink and purple is gorgeous. Looks like fairly easy steps that yield a beauty. Good practice for dot placement and dragging glass. Thanks for a wonderful video, as usual.
Hi Linda! 😍👋🏽 Thank you! So glad you enjoyed this one! It is fun to focus on these floral elements…my goal is to get them very tiny which is a challenge for me!😂 Great to hear from you! Have a wonderful week ahead!🌈✨ Cheers- Robin 🌹🌹
Wonderful idea. Definitely going to try this. So imaginative. Thank you sooo sooo much Robin. Xx
Hi Lena! 😍👋🏽 Thanks so much! ✨🌹 You will enjoy making these…It is amazing to see the dots transform before your eyes! 😃 Have a great week ahead!! Cheers- Robin 🌈🌹✨✨
Thank you for sharing ❤ So beautiful!
Hello Happy! 😃✨ So glad you enjoyed!! Thank you so much!! 🥰🌹✨ Cheers- Robin 👋🏽🌹🌹
Stunning! Thanks so much.
Hi Tami!! 😃👋🏽 I’m so glad you enjoyed this one! I think the tri-color stringer looked great with this design! Many Thanks!!🙏🏽🌹🌹 Cheers- Robin ✨✨🌹
Hi R! Amazing!!! This colors are just perfect. Thank you as always 🙂 Have a nice day! B
Hi Basia!🥰👋🏽 So happy you like this one! I’m obsessed with the Tri Color stringer!😅 Hugs to you my friend 🙏🏽🌹🌹🌹Robin🌈
I love this 3 color stringer! I cannot wait to make my own tomorrow
Hello Wendy! 😃🌹 I’m so glad you enjoyed this one! You will love making these tri-color stringers…It’s easy to make and looks beautiful on any design! 😍✨Cheers- Robin 🙏🏽🌹🌹
Great pattern Robin, they would look really nice with the murrini from your last video too. Big thanks as always, I’m already looking forward to seeing what your next beads looks like 🤓
Hi Dan! 👋🏽✨ You are so right…the murrini would be perfect! Thanks for pointing that out!! 😅
I’m always in search of great color combinations and patterns. 💫 …Im also looking forward to the next bead! As of right now I have no demo for this weekend. The pattern I’m working on is trickier than I expected. 😵💫😂 So I will see you all next weekend! Cheers- Robin🙏🏽🌹✨
Really lovely. Robin. I can see doing second dots (contrasting transparent ) smaller inside so when you drag stringer you get more depth. Will try today. Thanks.
Hi Vicki! 🤗🌹Thanks so much! I love your idea…😃 Giving these some depth would look amazing! Enjoy your torch time!! ❤️✨✨ Cheers- Robin🌈👋🏽
Once again Robin, you make it look so easy! I would just love to make something this beautiful. I often have issues hanging on to the end of stringers. I switched from tweezers to pliers and there's a bit of improvement. I think @kellyh957 has a good idea for a 101.something video about using the marver for rolling and shaping. I have the same issues as she as well as tidying up the edges without scraping away the bead release from the bead edge. Once again, thanks so much for your continued support with your great videos. You are so welcoming it feels like I am sitting in your studio getting tips from an old friend. And I don't mean old as in age but I'm sure you knew that! 😂
Hello Derweasel! 🥰🌹 I’m so glad you enjoyed this one! I will definitely make some time to get a demo together that covers questions about marvering the glass. ✨ I have learned over the years not to roll the edges…I do tiny pushes against the graphite instead. It really helps not to cut into the bead release! 🌹✨ I wish you were physically here with me😅…..ahhh the magic of TH-cam!
Take care my friend!! 😍✨🌹Cheers- Robin 👋🏽🌈
Hi Robin -- I encased a bead! 😀Doing it wasn't pretty but I like how it turned out. I can see where my technique would have to be much better if I didn't want to ruin the design on the face of the bead; however, I just put some sloppy dots on it and then raked it to death. I used a HH for this adventure. Just had HVAC come and tap into my natural gas, and my torch and hoses are here -- just waiting for one more connector (setting up with natural gas presented me with some complications and challenges) and I'm off with my new Bethlehem Alpha. I wonder if this will all be easier or more proficient when I make the switch. I have used a CC mini 3 times but I don't remember what it was like as it was all brand new to me. 🤔Well, as you can probably tell, my excitement is bubbling over. I need to do a TH-cam Scottwood Research video marathon! The next happy cheer you hear will be my celebratory yell of triumph and joy as I start to enjoy figuring out my new Alpha!🎉🥳 Cheers to you as well -- Diana
@derweasel OMG!!🤗🌹 That is great news, Diana!✨ Congratulations on the encasement! Im so happy you for you! Like most everything else…it will get easier every time! 🤩 I just read up about the Alpha torch….it sounds amazing and a great price! The difference between that and a HH is huge! You are going to love it!!! 😍✨Thank you so much for sharing your exciting news! I wish I was there to jump for joy with you when you light it up!😆🌹 I can’t wait to hear how you like it!!
Big Hugs my friend! Cheers- Robin ✨🌈🌹🌹🌹
Really nice. I use a bench vice to hold the mandrel, makes it a lot easier to remove the bead.
Looking forward to your next video (maybe something with Zirconia??)😊
Hello Kevin! 👋🏽✨ Thanks so much! 🌹 I also use a vice when needed…especially taking rings off the big mandrels… Very helpful!! Glad you enjoyed this demo! At some point in the future I will definitely invest in a small bag of CZ’s so I can share how to embed them! Great idea!✨✨
Cheers- Robin 🌈👋🏽✨

Hi Brindledragon! 🥰🌹 Thank you so much! ❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️😁Cheers- Robin👋🏽🌈
Robin, Thanks for another great tutorial! I can't wait to try it. You know, I always pay special attention to the way you shape your beads on the marver. I also put my bead release in the middle of my mandrel and I try to mimic the way you hold your mandrel and kind of glide/roll it across the marver. It looks so smooth the way you do it and you quickly get a beautiful shape. When I try to do it the same way, it just doesn't work. It ends up with me just kind of dragging it across the marver instead of the nice, smooth glide/roll you do. Tutorial? :)
Hello Kelly! 😃🌹So glad you enjoyed!! 🥰 Learning how to roll the glass on the marver took me some time, practice and patience to figure out. Working in the middle is great because I feel like I have more control using being hands to roll with. But it is also easier to mess things up if you have a heavy hand. 😅 I used to tell my students that you want to begin and end a roll like the wheels of a plane landing…. You want to be turning the glass as you come in for a smooth landing. Then it’s some fine tuning on how much pressure to apply (if any) when rolling. And that depends on how hot the glass is! ✨🌹 There are so many little nuances to it when you think about it! 😂
In the long run, it all comes down to practice and you will absolutely get better!! 😃
I’m really glad you brought this up….I will definitely try to put out a demo that focuses more on marvering! ✨ Thanks so much!! Cheers my friend- Robin🌈✨✨✨
Thanks for the tips.😊
Anytime Kelly!! 🤗🌹🌹🌹✨Happy to be able to share!! Cheers- Robin 🌈👋🏽
Thank you for another great tutorial! I am interested in how you present your finished beads at the end of the videos. Is that something that you made for this purpose? If so, I would love to see how you made it. I have learned so much from your great teaching style and I appreciate you!
Hi Julie! 🤗🌹 I’m so glad you have been enjoying the demos! 💫 The bead stand that I use is made out of borosilicate….and I do have a demo on it! Look under our playlist for ‘Adventures in Borosilicate’. The very first one is called The Coral Stand. I originally made it to hold fish beads but it is perfect for any beads! 😃🌹 I have been thinking about making a new one specifically for the end shots. I will make sure to share it! 😅 Thank you so much for asking! I am thrilled that you have gotten some good information from these demos!🌹 Cheers to you- Robin 🙏🏽😃🌹
@@scottwoodresearch thank you 😊
Anytime Julie!😃🌹I here for you! 🙏🏽😍R
