OMG...so generous of you Robin! Thank you. I am actually working out a formula for 104 furnace glass batch. Just for me to play with all the wonderful colors! LOL
Hey Daniel! 😃 No problem…I am always happy to share! Wow…you’re making your own color batch?…That is so exciting!!🤗🌹✨ I hope it goes smoothly!! Cheers to you- Robin 🌹✨✨
That is so sweet of you to say! I always wonder if the commentary is ok. I often feel like I’m fumbling my words around 😂😂😂. I never know what I am going to say when I do the voiceover and at times I get super nervous! Lol! Thanks you so much Narakai!! (What a lovely name!🌹) Cheers- R 👋🏽🤗✨✨✨
Awe! Thank you Debra! 🌹🖤 That is so kind of you to say! (I am definitely my own worst critic and always wish I had done better 😂). Glad you enjoyed!! Cheers-Robin💫🌹🌹
I have never tried the Hades, but I’ve gotten webbing with Effetre Intense Black used the same way - thin stringers on Dark Ivory then cooked a bit. It has been a few years since I have done much Lampworking with 104. Watching your demos is getting me back into it. So much fun! 😁
Hello Joanne! ✨🌹 I’m so happy that you have been inspired!! 🤗 it’s fascinating to see the webbing happening in the flame. I’m trying to find other colors that will webb-out like the ivory does. Not all colors make that reaction with the intense black…I did not know that until recently. There are so many colors to try! 😅 Thanks so much for sharing! Cheers- Robin 🌈🌹✨✨
I really enjoyed watching this. I made beads full time years ago and am just getting back into it. I actually have some Hades in my stash that I got when it first came out! I never really did anything with it and it sat untouched for probably at least 10 years 😂 Thanks for sharing this! 💜
Hello Fran! 😃 Isn’t that funny! I originally bought Hades to encase for really black thin lines….Then I discovered it’s other secret! 😂 So glad you enjoyed it!! Cheers to you- Robin👋🏽🌹✨💫🌹🌹🌹
Like magic little stringers! (I’m a big Marvel fan….. hence the ‘Chaos Magic’ + Fire = Spiderwebbing). It really influenced me when editing this one! 😂😂😂🔥
Hello! I am a furnace glassblower and enjoy lampwork also. You mentioned the webbing effect while blowing glass with powders in college. That the soft and stiff colors work best together was unknown to me! Can you list a few soft/stiff combos to try? Is this an opal/transparent thing or something else? Love your tutorials and visiting The Dungeon....
Hello Daniel! 😅👋🏽 It makes me so happy to know that you are a studio/furnace glassblower and you’re watching these tiny demos! There are so many techniques that I use in flameworking that I learned from the Hotshop. Color is definitely one of them. I really got into using Gaffer Glass Rod…love their colors!! But you are right…even in flameworking the transparent colors seem to always be stiffer than the opaque (except for white!). I remember that Transparent Yellow Frit #2 directly on top of most any opaque powder (or color rod) can produce similar and strange effects when blown out. Yellow is also known to have a color reaction when touching other colors and looks great on solid color rod. Silver Blue. I also remember that the yellow, red, orange transparents are much stiffer than green blue and violets. 🤗 There is a Stiff Black that gaffer has….I wonder if you used it as I did in this demo, (as a loose thread wrap ) you could get similar webbing?? ✨ it’s all fascinating to explore and experiment!😅 Thanks so much for inquiring about this! I hope this info makes sense and helps…It’s been years since I’ve discussed furnace glass! ✨😂 ✨ So Happy to hear that you’re enjoying the Dungeon demos!✨💫 Cheers to you- Robin 🌹🙏🏽🌈
hi and thank you for sharing your knowledge! I am wondering do beads and small flamework pieces need to be annealed in a kiln or can they air cool? i'm a artist and just bought a small flamework bead making kit and need to know if I need a annealing kiln also?
Hi Pamela! I’m so excited for you!! Playing with this material is so magical! Most everything you create should be annealed or slowly cooled to ensure that it doesn’t crack. The easiest way for most small glass items is either in between 2 pieces of fiber frax or get a used crockpot and put vermiculite in it. Keep the heat on high and cool all the way before retrieving your glass. If your glass is still cracking using these items then you may need to get an annealer, but you should be fine if only making small work. (it is much more cost effective as annealers are pricey). I hope this helps! I am here for you, if you need help with anything let me know! 😃 Thank you so much for your comment, Pamela! Happy Flameworking!! R- ✨✨✨🌹

Great instructions!
Thank you so much Arleta! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!🌹👋🏽Cheers- Robin✨✨
Waw …love this 👏👏🔥🌹
Thanks so much Brigitte! 😍👍🏽✨
Another great video. I have tried and failed with hades before. I now know really thin stringers work best. So thank you very much 😊
So glad to help! YES….A tiny bit of Hades goes a long ways! 😁
Thanks for watching! Xoxo 🔥✨🔥✨

Thank you for sharing this technique. It is awesome

It is amazing to watch this strange bit of Hades cause so much chaos….I love it!

@@scottwoodresearch, you are very welcome. It was amazing to see what you had referred to as spiderwebbing come out from your little stringers
Like magic little stringers! (I’m a big Marvel fan….. hence the ‘Chaos Magic’ + Fire = Spiderwebbing).
It really influenced me when editing this one! 😂😂😂🔥
Thank you for the video. Silvered ivory is my favourite reactive
Ohhh yes! I love that! One of my favorites to! 🔥✨
Wow, amazing effect! Thank you 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤
Isn’t it awesome?!! Thanks Clare! 🌹🔥✨
