just follow the blog through, the tut's in 4 parts
I like the tip about the water... not heard that one before!
That's really interesting, and useful. Thanks, Pris
that's a fab link Diane .... thank you :D
I think using the clear may make it a little easier to control, certainly worth a try :)
I shall definitely give it a go :)
Thanks for sharing this one Diane - one to definitely try ;D

Oh brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
(Is this the right time to admit that I have a whole book of silver foil that I have been too scared to open yet? :D ;D)

Tut, just get it out and throw caution to the wind. This is probably a good method for a first try :D
LOL .. just make sure that wind doesn't catch your silver foil :P

If only you knew how hard that was around here! We live right on the coast, and it's very windy (we have an average of 40 gales a year here). The window of my studio does shut (just), but the door has to be ajar to allow my propane hosing to go outside ;) Let's put it this way; I don't make big hollows on windy days; they explode!
Oooh, that looks worth a try. I wonder if the stringer is less likley to snap as it has a clear core too. :)
That is a great tutorial, I like the water tip too, simple and effective.

Well, hello!
I wondered why in the world my blog had so many hits...

... laughing at the spit, I do that in a pinch too. (Ok, am I allowed to admit that in my first post here??) However, I don't like getting my fingers near my mouth when I've been touching all of the other lampworking --- stuff.
Hello :D
