ratticello tutorial n e one???
 

i was lookin for a tutorial on ratticello (i'm just about positive that i spelled it wrong, feel free to correct me) i have an idea of how its done but i think some instructions and pictures would make all the diffrence. thanx :wave:

I have no idea what that is I sure hope soemone can tell and show us.

The effect is like a latticino inside a latticino, but the inside one spirals opposite of the outside one. I've seen blown glass done like that. I have no idea how it's done though.

I don't have the tutorial any more. We had a hard drive failure a few months back and I lost everything. That was one of the things I lost.

I got it from The Flow Magazine - www.theflowmagazine.com - so you can check there. Perhaps they have it online, or can tell you what issue it was in.

I really wish someone would post a tutorial too.

Chad, thanks for trying, but I can't wrap my mind around that. I keep thinking that retwisting backwards would just untwist what you did the first time. And at what point is the pull?

~~Mary

Well, it does sort of untwist the first one. Just not all the way. I saw a tutorial somewhere. I'll find it....

Aha! Found it. This is from the Spring 2003 issue of The Flow.

thanx
 

Thanks...that helped alot. i can't wait to try it. :biggrin:

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!

I fell asleep last night trying to figure out how to do this. LOL Guess I don't need to mention that I wasn't even close.

I thought that maybe you took a point, painted lines on it and twisted it. Painted more lines on it and twisted it, only in my head, you twist it the same way both times.

Then, you flare the tube, and fold it back on itself. Close off the new end and blow it out.

This was the only way I could get my head to see two sets of lines going in different directions in the same layer of glass. I just couldn't grasp it.

Thank you SO much for posting those directions.

~~Mary

Chad thanks for taking the time to find that tutorial.

you have got to overspin first set o lines

Is this only for boro. NOt for soft glass?

I have seen people do similar things on larger soft glass rods. You draw lines down the rod, twist, draw other lines, twist back, then condense the whole thing into a ball or disc. But, it's much easier on tubing. Of course, I'm tubing-challenged, so it's not easy for me no matter what I do.

I had to remove the tutorial from my site due to bandwidth issues. If anyone wants, it, PM or e-mail me and I'll send it to you.

If he will get him to do it and send it to Lizabeads@aol.com for your Tutorial Book that I am doing to raise money for LE

a reticello is an old technique that comes from italy i think.. the old style has air bubbles under each overlay.. it is basically two layers of lines that go in opposite directins layed over top of themselves... one way to do it , tube or rod, is to
1 lay straight lines down a tube or rod... multiple colors or one color..
2. twist that segment one full rotation so that the original lines match up with eachother..
3 lay lines that match the start and end point of each one....
4 twist segment one half rotation the other direction...
5 carefully clean up the end so that all the lines meet up to a point...
5 flatten and add lens, blow out and use in segment, or implode... etc..

Yeppers they are REAL cool but I'll be damned if I could do it !!! Who ever was sending out tuts on this please send one to lizabeads@aol.com
THANKS

Well I can spell it but I can't do it! I took a class once with Leah Fairbanks and she can do it really well!! Paula

Hey Chad. Can you put up the link? OR send it to me? Thanks. Paula

is it only raticello if it's the 2 layers crisscrossing, or just if it's a zigzag?
Can someone recommend a good book or video to learn the basics of all this terminology for boro stuff?

Chad could you send me this tutoral please?

This is a different way...
 

I prefer this method to the other one for two reasons: I think the finished result is cleaner, and I like the color being trapped between two layers of glass.

Take a point of 1"HW, about four inches long. Open one handle, draw lines down the length of the tube, and twist. Make sure the twist is consistent along the length of the tube. Now open the other handle (so they're BOTH open) and jack constrict/jack downin the middle until it's completely closed. You now have two sections of tubing with handles that are connected by a solid piece in the middle.

Blow one side slightly into a bubble, and then rip off your point handle, leaving it open, even, and round on the end.

Now flare this side out like a foot, but keep going. Change the angle so it starts to fold over back over the other section of tube (the one you didn't blow out. Work it from the end down to avoid trapping air bubbles. After you've got it worked into one solid bubble, blow it out a little and rip off the end to clean up the termination point.

I don't check this board that often, but feel free to email me at christopher_platt@csumb.edu with any questions.

If you are still sending this tut out, please send one to me, tgummer@doe.state.in.us.

Thanks!
