Flamework Demonstration - How I Make a 13mm Glass Bead

This is a close up view over my shoulder as I flamework. You can see my process from start to finish with very little editing as I form a round bead and decorate it with tiny dots. 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
Torch: GTT Lynx

Such a sweet bead ... I can see why this would be addictive. Thank you, Kristina.

[@kristinaloganglass]

You are so welcome!

[@esmerical]

I’ve been following you and your work since I started making beads 15 years ago. Thank you for being so open in sharing your work. When I first started making beads I was thoroughly unimpressed with dots. I thought they were simple. How wrong I was! They still challenge me to this day!

[@kristinaloganglass]

Many thanks for following what I do! Dots are both simple and complex! 😆🔥

[@lindaciborowskikellerwilli6949]

You did it! Thanks for sharing your work process, philosophy, and gorgeous studio with us. The photography is wonderful and the beads are inspiring. Incroyable!

[@kristinaloganglass]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

November of this year will be the 30th anniversary of my first bead making class, and I am forever grateful that my teacher was you! This video is wonderful and I hope you make many more.

[@kristinaloganglass]

Thank you Annette! I remember when we met oh so many years ago! Wishing many happy hours still at the torch 🔥

[@leahdeeb]

I've always loved your work, Kristina. Thank you for sharing your time with the flame and this calming video. 💜

[@kristinaloganglass]

You are so welcome! I appreciate you following what I do 💕

[@katharinesheridan8097]

Thank you 🙏 very much! I’m so glad you made this video. I now understand how much planning, preparation, and measuring goes into it as well as how patient you are and how much patience I should have with myself. Truly grateful. I am really excited to go back to the torch as soon as I can. 🥰

[@kristinaloganglass]

I’m so glad to hear about what you gained from watching! I hope you enjoy experimenting with slowing down next time you are at the torch 🔥😊

[@kathleenelliot1608]

Kristina, you are such a lovely soul! Your beauty shines in your process and your work. I look forward to more of your videos.

[@kristinaloganglass]

Deep thanks Kathleen. I appreciate your note and wish you many good thinks for your own work. Peace.

[@jowoolnough2123]

🤩 wow it was so worth the wait . I had no idea you sat so low to the torch but the benefits are there to see. You really are Queen Dottie and on such a small bead. I found your technique and the music incredibly inspiring & relaxing. Well done my lovely xx

[@kristinaloganglass]

Thank you Jo! I sit low so I will have a straight spine while working. This helps me feel comfortable for many hours at the torch. p.s. My son composed the music! 🎶

[@car.d.8886]

Wwwwwwooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww! Thank you so much for posting the process! No wonder I love the beads, and now I understand how much I love the process and why I value what you do soooo much!!!!! That was a great video!

Hi Kristina. My dot bead exploration end about 2003. I was fun. Taught me a lot. Focus and attention. Disaplined my mind.

[@kellyh957]

Mesmerizing watching you create this perfect little bead. I love how slow and meticulous you work. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@kristinaloganglass]

You are very welcome! I hope slowing down is helpful to you 😊

I saw your channel pop up in my recommended and subscribed immediately. Wonderful video, thank you for sharing. I have the exact same torch (GTT Lynx), and had to pack all my stuff away a few years ago until I can be in a place where I can set up a studio again. I miss it a lot! Been inspired by your work for a long time. 💚

[@kristinaloganglass]

Thanks for your note and subscribing!! I hope you can set up your Lynx soon! 🙏🏼🔥😘

[@inyobill]

Loved watching you work. I watched you make that bead, and I still don't know how you did it. I have to conclude magic.

[@kristinaloganglass]

Thanks! A little magic make life quite nice 😂

[@inyobill]

[@joannehears]

I am reminded why I work slow and cool when I watch you ,making beads. You were my very first teacher (In a mill in NH, you were pregnant with your first child) and I was so intimidated! All these years later I still work that way and my love for glass has only grown. Thank you for all the beauty and good habits.

[@kristinaloganglass]

Thanks for your note Joanne! I’m so happy to hear that you still love working glass 💕🔥

[@tishsmiddy71]

Thank you ❤

[@kristinaloganglass]

You're welcome 😊

[@mariacohen5179]

[@kristinaloganglass]

You are very welcome. My intention is to give you a genuine peek into how I work. Glad you like it 🔥💕🔥

[@robink1481]

[@kristinaloganglass]

Ahhh! I am definitely making more! 😂👍

[@mattmarchand3139]
