I love the fact that this thread is still alive. I've tried it but there is no way to make the bead with soft glass and keep the heart warm. I keep breaking the hearts.
And Brent, I think I could make these all day long and without the magic of boro they just don't sing. I have a bit of boro but truly, there is so much to learn with boro that I have stuck with soft glass. Would you mind giving us a hint about which boro glass makes the beautiful pinkish yellow colors? Pleeeeeease.......

Oh, I never give up. When I messed up the one the other day I just wadded it up and wrapped it on a mandrel....LOL
Thanks for the color hint Brent, I may have to get the boro out and try it, it moves much slower and give me more time.

Wow Mr.Smiley...you gave away your secret. I have to say some of these hearts are very scarey...I'm gonna have to give it a try 2morro.
Nice colors with the soft glass Brent.
oh and to those that have trouble with loops...have you ever tryed poking a hole with a tungsten pick...first you place a glob...then shape...then squeeze with tweezer like tool(you have to buy one) and open hole with tungsten pick...its pretty simple but hard to explain. Maybe someone else can chime in with a tut.

Drilling with tungsten is always part of my class and is in the first video... that's almost done.

I'll see what I can do. I'm pretty much booked for this year, but I may be able to squeaze something in.

These are 104

Nice job! and you're welcome...
I can't wait to get back from Tucson and start on this DVD. It's gonna be so much fun to cover hearts on video. I love making them... and I love seeing other people make them too.
