Layered Flower Lampwork Bead by Jeannie Cox

This is an updated/revisited video of how to make a layered flower bead (also known as a dahlia bead or an on-mandrel implosion flower). I may do another video to show it's "sister bead", the pineapple or pine cone bead, which is essentially the same, just starts with a longer base and has more layers of petals in a longer, final bead.
I hope you enjoy! :)

Jeannie Cox was such a talented teacher. She made this bead look so doable. I was sad to learn that she passed away in March of 2019.

Wonderful detailed video, Jeannie. I've always wondered exactly how to make these layered petal beads. Thank you so much for taking the time to instruct those of us who can't afford the expensive courses offered by others. You Rock!

Jeanne, your videos are just amazing! I really appreciate your sharing your expertise with us less-experienced beadmakers. It is much better than a "paper" tutorial and you have really mastered the art of making instructional videos. Many many thanks!

Thanks for the excellent video I was wondering how these were done. It will be my next challenge. I will probably view it several times

Nice video. You do a great job on your videos. Pleasant voice, well explained, good camera angle and easy to follow. I love the petal beads but have not tried one yet. You make it all look so easy. Thank you for sharing your expertise. It's like having a private class at home! :)
