but also act as a measuring guide once your first bead is in the kiln.
There's no more guessing if the next one will be the same size!!

Another direction for my line of tools - Optic
Molds.
The first of many in this line.
FYI: for those who not familiar with how to use and optic mold, they
are an old concept in the glass world. Plunge a hot glob of glass into
the cavity to get that shape, put stringers into the channels and add
layers of glass, pull into murrini or twisties.

The latest beadroller, BR-4901
Cones Pandora Style,
is big hole mandrel version BR-4501 Cones.
Great for fan pulls, or the base bead for vessels.

MY TIP OF THE DAY
Tired of connecting two hot rods of glass, only to have a hockey stick?
The powder coating of the Project
Trays can withstand a fairly high temperature,
so, after you've joined two rods, let them cool to 'not red hot',
then cool them the rest of the way in the tray.

The other day, I
went and flattened the bullet
ones to see what they would like as a
tab. Wow, I got a nice surprise. These will make nice cat/dog bodies,
just
dd a few well placed stringers for legs and paws.

HOW
DO I DETERMINE WHICH BEADROLLER(S) ARE RIGHT FOR ME?
|
-Do you have a favorite
shape? choose that one.
-A "mixed cavity" is a good one started with if you don't know what
shape you like to
do the most, or if you want a variety of shapes about the same size.
-Is there one shape that you do a lot? ie. spacers for your jewelry.
that roller will give you speed and your spacers consistency, so you
can spend more time on your focals. or if you make a living off of
making sets, speed + consistent beads = $$, time is money.
-Is there one shape that frustrates you the most? ie. I could never get
the ridge to run around the middle of my bicones.
-Do you do a lot of large focals? try one of the large cavity rollers
to get a quicker symmetrical base bead built up, so you can spend more
time on decorating.
-Do you do tabs? one of the reasons I had the original chunky oval made
years ago, was so I could get a symmetrical tab when I flattened the
oval.
-Do you want a shape that is difficult to get with a flat marver? I've
become really partial to the disc.
You just have to ask yourself the right question.

You
might be a lampwork artist if:
- You have a flower garden just so you can have models
for your next set of beads...
- You notice instead of it being dark outside, it's
Moretti black...
- You chase firetrucks...
- You pause the evening news so you can see the anchors
necklace...
- Your favorite coffee cup sits on your work table with
coffee and pulled glass in it...
- The neighbors know from the squeals in the morning
that you just pulled your best set ever out of the kiln...
