How did I make this piece of jewellery?
- In a torch flame around 1000 degrees Celsius, I melt glass rods of different colors around a mandril - it's a metal rod dipped in a separator that keeps the metal and the glass from fusing together.
- I can flatten or roll the bead to reshape it. I can include gold or silver leaf, milleforis (small patterns) or dichroic glass with a metallic surface...
- Then I put the bead in a kiln to anneal retailer it during at least 1 hour. The molecular links reform inside the glass, ensuring the bead is solid.
- Once cooled, I take the bead off the mandril and remove all traces of separator.
