Well we certainly had another great night of torching and conversation! I have uploaded two clips from last nights session. The clips are a “how to” clip on making simple twisted canes. The other is of a large silvered ivory shard balloon being blown. So if you missed seeing those two things being done you can still catch the clips.
Twisted cane clip
Blowing a shard
And now for the beads…
Clicking on the photos will take you to full size pictures.
Here is a very small imploded flower by request. I started off with a small gather and should have went bigger for a bigger flower, but this was for informational purposes and seemed to help everyone how it was done.
I also learned that Efettre brown and raku don’t like each other :). Here is the striped bead that was requested that let find that out. Notice the scum on on the clear. There was some sort of reaction and the colors just went to crap on me. Oh well that’s how you learn right?
Everyone loves watching how twisted canes are made so we made another one last night. This one was made a bit different. You can watch the video clip of how it was done if you go to my channel at Justin.tv/avenuebeads or by clicking the video clip link I mentioned at the beginning of this post.
We also made a bead that we will be giving away to one of our lucky viewers last night, who is yet to be announced. We will be pulling the name of the winner live on cam tonight!
Here is the bead. Made with Borealis and the new Silvered Pomegranate shards!
Tune in tonight to see if you are the winner!
See you all on cam in a bit.

I love the way you make twisties. It’s way different than my version, and so much easier to control the heat. Thank you!

Joe,
Thanks for allowing us to watch you work!! I hope that this increases your sales and also increases an awareness of the effort, time, and patience that goes into lampworking. Lovely pink paisley bead you made tonight… cute penguin too!

Joe,
I have really been enjoying watching the webcast. It was cool getting to see how you apply the shards - I have bought some but never saw how to use them properly until now. Thanks!
