Carol, you did a great job! I think I like the orange one the best and you will find it much easier with the hole going the other way the next time you try.

Samantha, the orange one was the first one I did. It kept wanting to collapse but I saved the little thing. I was going to try to make it look like a firefish but maybe some other time!

I am not sure how you would string it with the holes that way, but I think it's wonderful you did your own thing! My first ones were no where near as nice as the ones posted...trust me. If I had pics I would post them..but I don't (thank god!)

Thank you Samantha, Diane and Vicki  . I don't think I'll be stringing them, I suppose I'll just get me a couple of goldfish and put them in a fishbowl. I'm wondering how you make sure you don't have any bead release left inside that might kill the poor little goldfish?
Vicki I love your fishies, don't you just love making them?
Except..........I just tried to make another one and it went all lopsided on me. I tried to save it but it was eventually hopeless so it went into my torch water. sssssssss.
I'm having a cup of coffee and then I'm going to try again!

Samantha thank you so much for making all these videos and sharing you tips with us. I really appreciate all the time you have taken to do them. I loved watching each one of them and if I could I would be torching right now.

great tutorial Samantha
Hi Samantha:
Great tutorial, I am new to lampworking and because of the wonderful way you explained what you did I was able to make my first fish and I had a fun time doing it. I had a bit of problems with my pliers sticking to the glass, what do you do so they don't stick.
Thanks for your help

Hey Bob! Hope you will show some pics!
As far as the plyers sticking, I dont have that problem. You should be squeezing quickly and releasing. But you can always try dipping the plyers in water after you squeeze to cool the plyers down so they wont stick.
Samantha

Thanks Samantha
Thanks for the answer to my question. I will try to post a picture of my next one, Because it was Easter I had things to do and knew I did not have time to anneal properly but still wanted to make one knowing I could not finish it properly. I will try again and post the new one.
Thanks
Bob

Thanks! They surely don't compare to yours, but I'm just happy you did the videos. It gets easier with each fishy.

Samantha what kind of glass are you using:
I am using Effetre and my clear fins are popping off even if I keep them heated. I ,went to the Efftre site and now realize there glass coe ranges from 104-113 for clears. This could be my problem.
thanks once again.
