Watch me work in real time with no edits or fast forwards as I make 4 Mini Beads on one mandrel. This is a close up view over my shoulder as I flamework. I filmed this demonstration at my glass bench where I work every day so you can get a real feel from inside my studio.

I am using Effetre COE 104 glass
1/8 (3mm) diameter mandrel
Torch: GTT Lynx

Everything is pure magic! Your voice is soothing, the glass is mesmerizing, and the design detail is "spot on"...ty for sharing!

I tried 3 - one cracked - so went to two so thank you for saying it took you awhile!

You are so perfect in the execution of the beard shape - it takes me awhile to get the basic shape right!

Kristina you inspired me so much that I want to receive some classes to learn because I never did glass. Thanks ❤😊

Kristina, I wanted to thank you for your beautiful and inspirational videos. I took my first flameworking class last week and was hooked. The arts space where I took the class also offers beadmaking, so I started to look for videos to show me the process. While I am intimidated and wonder if I will have enough patience to try, your videos have helped demystify the process for me. I have binge watched many of your videos today. You are an incredible artist. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!
