Samma,
Were those your first? They look great! |
Rob - Thanks...not my first boro, but my first wavy beads. Your tute just made them look so fun, I couldn't resist.
Samma |
Rob, thank you for the great tutorial! I finally broke out the boro sample pack that has been collecting dust on my shelf. Here are my very first boro beads. 8-[ I think I'm hooked!
Edit to add: I've had several people pm me asking what colors I used in the wave beads. I used a twistie made with a clear core and 2 stripes of caramel luster and 2 stripes of blue moon |
Whoo Hoo, Deb and Samma!! Those are great!!
|
Thanks Lisa. I'm off to make more boro twisties! :D
|
Deb,
Those look magnificent. I sometimes find that making the twisting is just as much fun as making the beads! |
Will this work the same with 104 coe glass? Or are we going to just get mush?
|
Irene,
When you get to the point where you melt everything down Just go slow and be patient. It should work just fine. |
Thank you Rob! I can see that I'm going to need a lot more clear. I noticed that there are several manufacturers. Can anyone recommend one? Thanks!
|
Deb, I use schott artistic and i get mine from Generations Glass. U can get a mess of
6mm rod for next to nothing. Kristian from Generations glass will even cut the 4 foot sections in half for shipping. http://www.generationsglass.com/ |
Thanks Rob! :D I'll check it out.

I tried this with Black Pearl tonight. It worked great. Thanks so much for sharing it!!
|
This was a fun bead to make. Too bad I did it in such ugly colors :)
Thanks for a great tut! |
Rob thank you for your clear tutorial!
I've been trying these with soft glass and now know that I'm probably melting things in too quickly - your pictures are excellent for showing the process!! Here's one of mine I did with soft glass, it's a bit of a variation as I only put the twisty around the outside of the disk. And it was made before your tut, so now I can go back and revisit the idea - thank YOU :waving: |
I love the twistie method, Im going to try this once I get a chance to torch.
Thanks for the excellent tutorial! |
Rob, I'm addicted! Here are a few more.

and blue passion...omg, this would rock with blue passion {slobber}. You guys are terrible for my wallet :lol:. |
=D>Tammy - Great first try.
Louise - I kinda like that look, I may try just the twisty on the top. Deb - Ooooohh, yummy looking. What did you use for the pink ones. I think the color combinations are endless with boro as you never know what you`ll get when you twist 2 or 3 colors together. Nice Job everyone=D> |
Oh, Deb - these are smokin hot!
Share the colors????? Pretty please???? Quote:

Like all boro, they do look better in the sun. :-DHere's what I used for these three.
Pink - Twistie with clear core, 2 swipes of NS Bubblegum, 2 swipes of Am. Beauty (Momka, I think), 2 swipes of NS Mystery Adventurine, 2 swipes of Caribbean Coral (I think that was the name, the label was hard to read, from Momka) Blue - Twistie with clear core, 2 swipes of something labeled UN (NS unobtanium ?), 2 swipes of Peacock Chameleon, 2 swipes of NS Irrid, 2 swipes of NS Blue Caramel Dark - Twistie made only of Momka Silver Dance |
I made these with Precision 104 Black Pearl
