The tut is for a chocolate dipped strawberry glass bead –

i made a pile of these (and other glass truffles) as favours for a wedding last spring and demoed this bead at the Glass Shoppe Studio last September.  It received very positive feedback both times so i thought it might make a fun bead design to share  as well.

The tutorial will be published in the February 2012 issue of the Soda Lime Times, an e-zine for lampworkers.  If you’re a subscriber, you’ll receive your issue just after midnight tonite!

Try the tutorial let me know what you think!

…quote from Paul Stankard’s artist statement.

The video is Paul reflecting on 50 years making glass and how now it has become so much more personal.  If you’re not familiar with his incredible flameworked paperweights, check them out here: http://www.paulstankard.com/ .

My faves are the ones with the tiny people hidden in the roots.

I’ve been working on a large custom order for glass truffles – these are all about one inch in size.  It’s been fun trying to come up with a variety of designs that look real, edible yet also work in glass form.  They will eventually be wired and boxed as wedding favours. 

If you’re curious about how these are made and are in the Ottawa area, i’ll be demoing today at noon at the Glass Shoppe Studio here in Ottawa.  Details here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=207300679292863
