Thank you Rob for your tutorial, and your timing couldn’t have been better.
I had a special request about beads with a seventies look or design to them. I always consider this of requests challenging and very interesting. They usually push me onto a path that I wouldn’t have normally gone to. So when I saw your tutorial I just thought they would be just perfect, if I picked the right colors… So here are the 3 sets that I’ve come up with… |
Wow Sylvie,
I love the orange beads!! They do look retro. Are they made with a twistie? or Rounds of glass in each layer Thanks |
Thanks.
They were made with a twisted cane and you get different looks depending on how tight your twist is (I hope it makes sense...). |
Makes sense ! I am sure your customer will love them.
I am twistie challenged but have tried this morning. Must learn better heat control. Off to practice PPP |
Thank you , great
|
Sylvie,may I ask if you used a tight or fairly loose twist? My twisty beads didnt look nearly as good as yours.

On those beads, the twist was kind of loose. I'll try to post a little piece of the twisted cane I have left from the blue - green set tonight.
And if I haven't trash it already, my very first wave bead which was made with a tight twist so that you can see the difference. |
Fabulous tutorial, thank you!!!
|
here one of the blue green beads with the twisted cane I used to make them.
|
Thanks Sylvie!!!!!

Sylvie,
WOW those look spectacular. VolkanoKaren - If your twistie is less than 3mm thick it can be fairly loose any larger than 3mm and I would start to tighten up the twist. The larger the thickness of the twistie the tighter the twist needs to be. I just wanted to say "Your Welcome" to everyone who has thanked me for this tutorial. I have had some people show some interest recently in a spiral disk tutorial. I am currently working on this and should have it completed soon. Stay tuned! |
SPIRAL DISK!!!!!! I am so excited, almost giddy.
