I
like to lay out the colors I plan to work with on my left (I'm left
handed) and you can see in the picture of my work area that I have lots
of thin glass stringers to the right. I do a lot of decorating with
these thin stringers, which I have pulled from the original rods of
glass. Once I'm ready to start I will light the torch and begin melting
the end of the rod in the flame. In order to heat the glass evenly and
keep it from dripping off of the rod once it becomes soft, I need to
continuously spin the glass rod between my fingers until I'm ready to
add it onto the mandrel. |
