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!

Interesting...

I watched Luigi Camozzo working in his Murano studio recently. Do you know his work? I was reminded of your arrowheads...

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
