:lol: You *can*... I just wish it was a pdf... I never buy videos any more 'cause the last two I got wouldn't work on my computer :(

and I don't mean yours... just a couple others that were "how to" videos by other artists.

I did it! I did it! I did it! I can't wait for it to be done baking!! I'm thrilled. I'm gonna do it again!! Whooot!!

Mine plays just fine on my laptop... i had them professionally done... no home made copies here... if it doesn't work on your laptop, I'd even be willing to take it back and refund it... how's that for a guarantee?

My girls are wanting me to make hearts so I will have to try this method today.

How did it go? :D

I have been making hearts like crazy.I need to get pics taken.
I am gonna have to get more boro soon too

My first time with Boro and my first time trying Mr Smiley's hearts...whew* I was definitely a bit nervous but everything went fairly smooth. [-o<
Now for more practice tomorrow.

Very nice job... :D

Just finished watching BOTH DVDs and thank you for the inspiration.
Will have a go in a few days time when I get on the torch again but now....... tax paperwork......
:(

Can't the taxes wait? :lol:

So glad you enjoyed them... Hopefully I can find time for the third one soon... please show us what you make, I love seeing the work inspired by the DVDs and this free heart tutorial... :love:

Lol....yeah, I am already one year late and if I don't do the paperwork this weekend I can't afford to buy anymore glass or tools.....!
......but I am cheating now and taking the night off paperwork....on the torch....just got a leetle off mandrel piece in the kiln, it's soft glass and not so easy hut I think I finally worked out the "drill the loop'" technique from the DVD!!!!!
:)

Brent....or anyone....
I can't find the annealing schedule for boro!!!!!
In Celcius pleeeease.....going to set it up for the next run on the torch....
:)

I am having MEGA issues with the "cold seal"...... It's wrecked a few hearts already.....
I am working on soft glass and have tried BOTH boro and 104 punties!!!!!
Tried to post a pic but can't do it from my phone or iPad.....
:(

I have no idea what the schedule is in Celsius... I'll try to sort that out for you...

For soft glass punties, it's similar to boro, but you don't need the tip of the piece you're attaching to be super hot... just soft and tacky... the heart or other off mandrel piece should be warm, but hard... the best way to practice is with two rods... not a piece you're working on... once you get it sorted out, then you can start using the tech to make pendants with out ruining them. ;)

Brent, thank you so much for posting the Mr. Smiley Heart tutorial! And thanks to everyone who has posted pictures of their Mr. Smiley Hearts! I've had so much fun looking through all of the pictures and posts. These are so fun to make! Here are some that I've made. These are my 5th, 6th, & 7th attempts (1-4 didn't turn out so well).

Lacey, those are gorgeous!

Thanks Angie!

Very nice! :D :love: :D
