Flamework Demonstration - How I Make A Floral Disk Bead

This is a close up view over my shoulder as I flamework what I like to call a Floral Disk Bead. You can see how I work in my studio and how I shape a large glass disk bead. I decorate each side of the bead with different colors and complete the pattern with intricate picking and dragging of the dots to create a detailed floral design.
I am using COE 104 Effetre and Double Helix glass
Torch: GTT Lynx
Flameworking, beadmaking, lampworking and glass art

Kristina, I watch this video and have to remind myself to stop gaping - not that your work doesn't deserve to be watched with awe but simply because I feel silly watching with my mouth hanging open. =) It's so amazing watching these beads come to life and you make it sound so wonderful. Thank you for sharing your gift with us! -Caroline

Beautiful, calm work. Makes me want to race out to my torch! However, even after 20+ years lampworking, I haven't achieved your mastery.

Hi Kristina, thanks for sharing and talking us through your design. Excellent details and tips, very much appreciated over here in Melbourne where it’s too far away and expensive to be able to learn from you in person at the moment. Hopefully in the future some time, meanwhile this is a great inspiration to keep glass moving. Thanks Dan

[@kristinaloganglass]

Thank you for watching Dan! It would be great to have you in a class someday-in Australia? Here in the States? Or perhaps live online? Let’s say someday!! Happy Beadmaking 🔥😊🔥

[@karenaaron2844]

thabjs again love your work.

[@robink1481]

Thank you so much Kristina! You are an outstanding teacher!! I would love to see a video where you discuss color blending techniques, the colors you get by your layering are beautiful!! I would love to know any hints in this area. Thank you again for such a top notch instructional video!!

[@kristinaloganglass]

You’re very welcome and thanks for the kind words. I like your suggestion and will incorporate that idea into a design video 👌😊

[@kimtucky777]

Did you love one side better than the other ? I like both on this one, I would have a hard time choosing a side !!!😂

[@kristinaloganglass]

This one is a keeper as is. I love both sides and will keep this bead in tact 👌

[@kimtucky777]

What torch do you use, do think the kind of torch makes a difference?

[@kristinaloganglass]

In this video I am using a GTT Lynx. Honestly I could probably make this very same bead on almost any small surface mix torch 🔥

[@kimtucky777]
