Made my day. I'm off to try this, so that's my Sunday morning sorted😂. I have never been lucky with flowers but this is a great design. Clever you. Big big thank you Robin. Xxx
Hello Lena! 🤗✨ I’m glad you are going to try this one! I try to make the flowers as small as possible on the first layer….they always get bigger than I think! 😂 Hope you have a great time on the torch and a wonderful week ahead! Cheers- Robin 🌺🌼🌺
Hi Robin! I have finally use my torch and make this beautiful beads (I made 3 already and can't get enought). I even use for the first time my bluestone instead of mica and it looks great too! I made a bluestone stringer and put it in a spriral on a bead. Thank you as always for every video you made. Have a nice day my dear friend. Basia p.s. I hope the groundhogs have left you alone!🌺🌺🌺
Hello Basia!!😃🌹 I’m so happy that this one inspired you!! That’s wonderful! I hope you send me some pics! I would love to see how the blue stone looks. (I’m in the middle of writing to you….😅) I need to download that app you told me about….I will try to do it today! We haven’t seen any more groundhogs so I hope that means they have moved on 😂. However today patrick and I noticed that something has eaten all of the cantaloupes we planted 😩….try again next year! I hope you are having a wonderful August with decent weather! Hugs to you dear friend!! Robin 🌺🌼💐🌈🌹✨
Thanks so much Robin, i hadn't thought of using a multi coloured cane like this, the flowers look really natural and interesting. I always look forward to your demos, thank you so much for yet another burst of inspiration! ❤💜🌞
Hi Clare! 💫🌹Thanks for chiming in about the mica flakes vs. powder! 😃 I absolutely love the multi-transparent cane. It really brings the flowers to life! 💫 Thanks so much for your comments! Have a great week! Cheers- Robin 🌹✨🌹
Hello Teresa! 🤗🌹 Glad you enjoyed this one! The multi colored stringer looks great for any and all flowers! ✨ Excited for you to try!! 🤗✨ Many thanks and cheers- Robin 👋🏽🙏🏽🌈
Hello Kat! 🤗🌹 Thank you so much! I just loved the multi-colored cane for the petals on this one! I’m so honored that I could make your day a little brighter….which in return puts a smile on my face and warms my heart! …. Thank You!!🖤🥰🖤 The weather today in beautiful Serbia looks very similar to ours…(a little warmer though, so enjoy!!)😃👋🏽🌹✨ Big hugs and Cheers- Robin 🌈✨
Hello Tami! 😃✨ Thank you so much! These are so many different ways to play with this design. I’m glad that as a beginner you were able execute this pattern….that’s a big deal to me!!😆😁👍🏽 Congratulations and thanks so much for sharing! Big Hugs to you - Robin 🌹👋🏽✨✨✨
My goal is to make 40 of the same bead to show my progression, I have been too busy these last few weeks but my schedule is finally freeing up for me to be able to spend more time at the torch. Thank you for all you do and show us I love all the videos and have tired a few of them @@scottwoodresearch
Hi Tami! 👋🏽🌹 I’m so excited for you to get some torch time in….the best way to get better is to be as repetitive as possible! You will definitely see progress if you make 40 of the same…and you will learn to control the glass better each time. Im so glad you have been enjoying these demos! Many thanks!!✨💫Hope your doing well! Cheers- Robin 🌈🌹🙏🏽
I'm still in my first month, so far I've done swirls, and pulled drips. I'm learning dots right now, and after I'm comfortable with those il try flowers. Cool bead as usual! Thanks for the lesson :)
Hello Kevin! 😃👋🏽 Glad you enjoyed this one! I found that dots are the most important technique to learn…you will use them all the time! Have fun and don’t get discouraged! I’m here for you!! Cheers- Robin 🌹
Lots of really good basic techniques. I didn't know you could use mica in lamp work. I love bling❤. Your color combination is lovely. I tend to go with blues and purples, forgetting how the yellow and reds can really make everything pop.
Hi Linda! 🤗🌹 I’m glad I used the mica…it is much easier than using dichro strips! 😂 I do prefer to use the stone flakes rather than in powder form … the particles are bigger and give more sparkle! Glad you enjoyed this one…it made me smile! Cheers- Robin 🌼🌺🌼
Thanks so much Robin, plenty of ideas in a single bead! I have mica powder (for fusing),do you think it would stay on or burn? Flowers with multiple colors are also a great idea! I’m back from my Glass festival which was a great success, 5000 visitors in 2 days! We all sold well and I sold 25 jewelry pieces ! I have to get back to my torch 😅! Hope all is well with you ! Cheers, Sonia 🌺💫✨
Hi Sonia! 😃🌹Yea!! 💐 Congratulation’s ! I’m so happy to hear that you had a great time at the festival! Lots of people!!😆 That is wonderful news! 👍🏽✨ and I’m sure that your mica powder will work fine. It’s a great way to add sparkle! Have fun on the torch!! Hugs & Cheers- Robin 💫🌹🌹
I use mica powder in lampwork, you just need to encase it as Robin has done with the mica chips. As the powder particles are so tiny, you'd get a flatter result; Robin's chips give a more 3D effect because they are larger, uneven in size and can be pushed deeper into the glass. 😊
I've made 8 of these yesterday, carefully maintaining heat, annealed at 980F but 4 of the cracked along the mandrel, vertically as if to break in half, when cleaning the inside after they were off the mandrel. I had a eggplant core and clear and dichro and the flowers. Do you have any secrets to heal them and prevent this in the future? Love all your beads and tutorials
Hi Mirela! 🌹✨ I’ve had glass crack weeks after! It is frustrating if you don’t know why. So when you’re heating and cooling the glass over and over again, it builds up stress. The stress can let go at any point after the bead is cooled. The vibration from cleaning the inside could have been what relieved the stress causing it to crack. The fix can be as simple as a giving the glass a really good heat before annealing, ensuring that the stress in the glass is released. 🌹✨ I hope this helps… As I know how frustrating it can be to have your work break after cooling! But this has always helped me and I haven’t had any issues since. Thanks so much for your question! Hugs and Cheers - Robin 🌈🌹✨✨✨
@@scottwoodresearch thank you Robin, yes I understand it is a thermal crack, when it is vertical like that along the mandrel on both side. I saved three out of five by putting them back on a wet mandrel, in cold kiln, slowly heated and in the flame and melted all the way, heat and kiln again. Let's see how long they last. My husband is already asking me what I will do smith so many beads lol, I will keep these for myself but would like to gift to friends and maybe sell one day just to buy more glass. Thank you again for your tutorials, the best!
@mirelapopovici9077 Hi Mirela! 🤗🌹 That fix is brilliant!!! I honestly don’t think I would have attempted that. I have reheated beads before but never to heal cracks. I am crossing my fingers that they come out of the annealer without any issues! 😅🙏🏽 That’s so awesome!! Thanks for sharing! Hugs and Cheers- Robin 🌈🌹✨✨✨
Hello Dakota! 😃✨ ….Dakota Moone… that is an absolutely beautiful name! 🌹 I started out learning studio glass blowing in the mid 90’s. Then started Flameworking around 2003. So about 20 years! Wow….time flies! 😅 Thank you so much for your question, I appreciate! Happy Days and Cheers to you- Robin 🌹✨🌹🌈
Hi just tried. Question- when I make the 3 dots( white- flatten- transparent color- flatten) then when I heat dots to push center poke with a stringer it the dots all melt together into a mess? Should I try less heat? Dots further apart? Big thanks 🤗
Hi Maria! 😃🌹 Perhaps your white dots were touching each other? It will look blobby if they are touching. I try to put the white dots just far enough away so that they don’t touch when flattening. I also try to make them really small. The transparent dots are not as important as the white dots. I don’t think it’s the heat. It took a bit of patience and practice for me to get them just right….you will get there!! I hope this helps!! Cheers- Robin 🌺💫
@@scottwoodresearch yes like most new things takes practice. Yes too close. I love learning about poke center , I don’t make many flowers. This looks fun and I have all you used. Tons of mica( jar full) I did though for today use a green vase and scrolled two different transparent green colors , wanted flowers to look like on a bed of leaves. Thanks again
Hi Beth! 🤗🌹 What white are you using? I always use Effetre White 204….its awesome! I get nice crisp edges with it. ✨ Hope this helps! 😅Cheers- Robin 👋🏽🌈

@@scottwoodresearch thanks very much Robin 🌺
So true Clare! 😃 I definitely prefer using the natural stone for bigger flakes of mica. The bigger flakes really help to produce a nice sparkle! ✨💫✨

Sorry…It is Effetre! 😃🌹

I am always amazed at how realistic some flameworkers can get with their flowers! I bow to them!✨
First time viewer. Very interesting. I have to say the background music is really distracting. Would be better without.
