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.

“Receive this glass, it holds my memories…”

…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/ .

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 [...]

…and trying to take it all in.  I had a FABULOUS time and have so much information now whirling around in my head i need a few more days to let it all settle in. The one thing i can say is i now completely understand why other beadmakers get so excited about going every year – it was [...]
