#Lampwork

While taking my latest multi-camera setup for a test drive, dot placement suffered. BUT the bead and its design were salvaged; come see how! We also look at #PullingStringers, #AddingDots in a grid pattern, melting dots in so the edges don't blur and #RaisedDots.
The goal of this FREE video series is to simulate a one-on-one glass bead making lesson. Step-by-step instruction - Great for beginning #LampWorkers!

FUNDRAISER: Help Tim LIVE With Stage 4 Cancer.
This video was filmed before I was told that I had stage 4 throat cancer. Now, as I update this video text I am in an alternative care center in Germany.
I am unable to speak properly because of the tumor on my tongue and have lost more than 80 pounds (36 kilo). But we still have hope and YOU can help. Please consider donating to our cancer fund. Link below:
