Nice work, Marcel! I was just looking at something like this in GlassLine magazine and wondering if I might have the skill - and more importantly, the patience - to attempt it...
Thank you ajda :) it is not hard only heavy to hold the hollow gather :)
but when annealed and you cut the cane it is like magic :)
Didn't know there was a tutorial ;) just checked
unfortunatly i am broke for a subscription on the magazine.

You've definitely inspired me to have a go. It must be great when you grind away the layers to reveal the chevron patterns. I notice you do quite a bit of cold working. What sort of kit do you have for cutting and grinding?
They're great but look as if they take a lot of work to get that lovely effect!

Wonderful bead (but then all your work just makes me go wow!). Have just see the tut too, OMG! I am inspired too, but knowing me and my cane pulling it would be a right mess. Do fancy some cold working too, so am interest in your response too (mind you not that I can afford any more equipment at the moment!
Thank you All i have an inland swaptop with trim saw and flatlap ;)
don't recommend this machine though..... i am saving for an ameritool
flat lap! it is a lot of fun to create this kind of work but i also use dremels
en a sandblaster to much fun ;D
Interesting...
I watched Luigi Camozzo working in his Murano studio recently. Do you know his work? I was reminded of your arrowheads...
Beautiful....I love chevron bead <3
thank you i did not know Luigi Camozzo but i checked some of his work
on FB it is amazing.
my Chevrons are not like the venetian ones ;) but it is work in progress :)

I think they are amazing! Serious drooling going on here. Think I shall just have to make oooooh noises over yours as I don't think this is something I am even going to try to attempt for a while (quite a long while ;) ). Looking forward to more :)
everything got its own time :)
