Thanks so much WigWag! 🤗🙏🏽 So happy you enjoyed!! Cheers- Robin🌈🌹🌹

Hi Spring! ✨🌈 I think pulled stingers and cane is one of the most enjoyable moments in flameworking! 😍 Lol…It’s so addictive! - 🌈🌹✨

@@scottwoodresearch I couldn’t agree with you more 😂 !!!

Hi Spring! 🤗🌹 I’m so happy to know that you are enjoying these demos….I often forget to look back and see what all I have done. This ribbon cane was a lot of fun to play with! Glad you enjoyed! Cheers- Robin 🙏🏽🌈✨✨✨

@@scottwoodresearch I am so incredibly grateful for your videos they are so helpful!

Thanks Spring! ✨🌹 I always thought this was such a cool idea and need to remember to try to use it more often….so much to explore! 😵‍💫😅🌹

@@scottwoodresearch This is like the way I’ve started doing implosion pendants ! Do you have a best way to reach you for a possible livestream interview?

@SpringTheFiberEnthusiast For sure! My email is rkschultes@gmail.com I’m horrible with almost everything social media and social…well everything!😂 I hide….but I will absolutely look for an email if I know someone is sending it!😅 We can set up a time to chat… Does FaceTime or Skype work for you?

@@scottwoodresearch yay wahooo FaceTime is perfect! I will send you a email with all the info so we can chat ! Super excited 😆 Ty

Hi Dan! 🤗🌹 I’m so happy to hear that you’re back safe and had a great time! Yes…boro is sooo different from soft glass…it’s like starting all over again for me! 😂 Corning is such an amazing resource for all glass arts and I enjoyed their collection…and the store has a ton of beautiful items. I hope you were able to check it all out. ✨🌹Great to hear from you!! Cheers- Robin 🌈👋🏽✨

Hello Beady! 🌹✨✨ Thanks so much for your message and comments! 🤗 I am big on flame polishing as well…love that smooth surface! And it came in very handy for these beads. I have about 15 bead presses and only use 2 of them….the rest are collecting dust 😂. I like your challenge and will try to give it a go this weekend! And I’m so glad you mentioned stringer control…practicing with the same color as the base bead is a brilliant idea. ✨🌹🌹 🌟Thanks again so much for sharing with us all, Beadysam! Cheers to you- Robin 🌈🙏🏽✨✨✨

Thanks for the comment. Yep, I’m a fan of Harbor Freight. The quality has definitely improved over the years and is comparable to the big names. I also did the research and the Hercules specs were equal or better. Can’t figure out why they haven’t come out with a stand yet. So far I’m very pleased. Thanks again, have a great day. Cheers. Patrick

Hi Kelly! 🌹✨ Thanks so much! I’m glad I finally decided to get my pick-practicing in! 😅 It is super hot here and it’s been so humid….ugg! I’m constantly looking for air conditioning to hide in. On the other hand, Patrick has been outside every day for the last couple of months working on the house, backyard studio area and garden….he is soooo tan! Just a few more months for the cooler weather to come back. I can’t wait! 🌟 Gosh…I am so sorry to hear that you are hurting…😞 do you have an assistant to help with anything? I hope you are able to at least get around a little bit without too much pain. I am excited to hear that you will be recording some videos soon! Sending good vibes your way my friend- Robin🌈🌹🌹🌹

@@scottwoodresearch I’m so extremely happy to that you got your pick out and practiced with it as your amazing with it as shown in your design of you bead. You should use your pick more often. Also congrats on the donation you got from the lovely person below this comment. Can I ask how you set it up on your page for people to donate to you? It also does not surprise me your looking for air con everywhere lol the heat is crazy all over the USA from what I’ve heard people say that in some places it is hitting the 120’s. Sadly in my health department I do not have much help, my friend will pop to the shop for me if she is going herself or coming past it but otherwise I do everything myself. I have my wheelchair but my ram is very heavy to get out and put up. Also I hate using my wheelchair through pride because of my age (I’m 38). I hope Patrick is enjoying getting his tan while doing the hard work of working on the house, garden and backyard studio. I’m hoping to record very soon when I can work out how to use one of the free recording programs that will stream to YT, Kick, FB & insta some of the recordings will be live streaming some will be pre-recorded videos and some will be shorts but it’s all jut going to take time. I’m going to order some faux white granite mats to film on top of with my beading mat on top of them but all this is just for my jewellery making for now asm I still do not have my LW equipment back yet as I have not raised the funds, I did put up a go fund me but so far it is not going novwhere. At the moment I’m waiting till my business is up and I need a business owner whom knows me to vouch for me for my ID for my legal documents or another professional so just sorting that out for now and i’m just waiting for someone to get back to me as long as my ex gave me the right email address about the looking at the documents and filling out an email for my ID. Stay hydrated hun and can you please tell Patrick said hi please but also I said for him to do the same and for him to also stay hydrated as well in this heat especially working outside. Say safe and well and look after yourself my friend ❤️ 🌹

Hi Jirup! 😅🌹 I can just imagine the little mice taking your tools for themselves to use! 😂🙏🏽 I hope you can get back there and recover some of your tools! I have two tables pushed together for my set up and I’m constantly loosing glass rods where they meet. 😂 Hope you have a wonderful week ahead! Cheers my friend- Robin🌈✨🌹🌹

Thank you Roxane! ✨🌹 So happy you enjoyed!! Cheers- Robin🙏🏽🌈✨✨✨

Many thanks Woodland! ✨🙏🏽 I’m so happy I could overcome my anxiety about this technique and share it with you all! 😂😂🌹 Glad you enjoyed!! Cheers to you- Robin 👋🏽🌈🌟

Hi Linda! ✨🌹 Thanks so much! And thanks for sharing that little tip….I will definitely try that next time!! 🙏🏽 😃 Hope you are doing well and staying cool!! Hugs and Cheers- Robin 👋🏽🌈✨✨

lol CrazyKwilter! 😂🌹 I too have been avoiding this technique for so long! 😅 I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels that way! I hope this demonstration helps others to feel more confident with the tungsten pick! 🙏🏽✨Have a wonderful week ahead my friend!! Cheers- Robin 👋🏽🌈

Wow! I’m honored CrazyKwilter! 🙏🏽🌹🌹 I have to tell you that it took me a second to comprehend your generous donation amount 😅 Thank you so much!!! 😭🙏🏽🌹 As always I’m needing more clear glass and oxygen….this will certainly help!✨✨✨ Im so happy you liked this one and overjoyed that these demos have been helpful and inspiring!! Gosh…you just made my weekend that much brighter!🌟 🌈Thanks again!!! Big hugs and Cheers my friend - Robin 👋🏽💫🌹🌹🌹

@@CrazyKwilter this is so very generous of you to do this for Robin, she is an amazing artist and I’m glad to hear you admire my friend and fellow artist

Thank you PK! 🙏🏽🌹 So glad you enjoyed this one! ✨✨ Cheers my friend- Robin 🌈🌹🌹

Thank you Brindledragon!! 🌹✨ I’m so happy that I finally was able to share this technique with you all! 😂👋🏽 Cheers- Robin 🌈🖤✨✨

Yes! I like it but don’t need it much for my small yard. Although my sweetheart loves it, she’s smaller and the gas mower was a bit much for her. She used this one and smiled the whole time. Cheers! Patrick

Hi Rudy! 💫😁 Thank you so much for that wonderful message! I work in the Boro glass from time to time….mainly for ornaments. It’s truly an amazing material…I always bow down to the Boro-masters! 😅 Unfortunately, at this point in my life I have a full time job that has nothing to do with glass…(I’m a weekend and evening flameworker) and can really only afford to work in soft glass. It’s so much more affordable for me…especially the oxygen consumption! But you never know….perhaps I’ll dive into it more in the future! 🌈🌹 Thanks again for your kind words of encouragement and advice…it means more to me than you know! 🙏🏽✨ Cheers to you - Robin🌹✨💫

Hi Leslie! 🌹✨ I’m so glad you enjoyed these! They are fun and quick …you will love making them! 🤗🌹 Hope you are doing well! Have a wonderful week ahead my friend! 👋🏽🌹Cheers- Robin 🌈✨✨

Hi Jordan! 😁👋🏽 That’s awesome! We love it there and are always happy when we get a chance to visit! ✨🌹 So glad you enjoyed! 👋🏽 Cheers- Robin🌈✨

Hi Christopher! 💫🌹 Thank you so much for that comment! 💫 It means a lot to me to know that these demos have been helpful and inspiring! I have also been inspired by all of You that tune in to watch…it has pushed me to explore new techniques, methods and ideas that I never would have thought about trying before. So grateful!! 🙏🏽✨🌹😍 Cheers to you- Robin 🌈👋🏽✨✨

Thank you…it one of my favorites! 😍✨🌹🌹🌹

Hello Joanne! ✨🌹 I’m so happy that you have been inspired!! 🤗 it’s fascinating to see the webbing happening in the flame. I’m trying to find other colors that will webb-out like the ivory does. Not all colors make that reaction with the intense black…I did not know that until recently. There are so many colors to try! 😅 Thanks so much for sharing! Cheers- Robin 🌈🌹✨✨

Hello Basia!! 😍✨ I’m glad you like these….they are fun and simple to make! 💫 I’m working on making them off a wire to make a tiny bouquet! …Hope to share soon! I love the video you sent me…what a beautiful place to visit! So happy you had a good holiday! 🌈 Big hugs to you my friend!! Cheers- Robin 💫🌹🌹🌹

Hello Spring! ✨🌹 Thank you so much!! Glad you have been enjoying the demos! Unfortunately I have nothing for this weekend 😩….hopefully next week! 🙏🏽🌈 Cheers to you- Robin 😁✨

Thanks so much, Moonclip! 😍🙏🏽 Glad you enjoyed!! 🌹Cheers- Robin 🌈✨✨✨

Thank you Claudia! 🌹💫 I will keep sharing these fun demos as long as possible!! 🤗 So happy that you are enjoying!!! Hugs and cheers my friend- Robin 👋🏽🌈🌹🌹🌹

Hello Derweasel! 🤗🌹 Great to hear from you! So…I do not have a bead rack in my Chilipepper. I just have some short kiln shelf pieces lining the back of my annealer so I can rest the mandrel on it so my glass doesn’t touch the bottom. My mandrels do stick out under the door about 3 inches or so.✨✨ I tried to look up the bead rack but couldn’t find it…I am assuming that it goes in the oven and that your mandrels will also stick out of the door. It’s ok if the door is slightly open too. The rack sounds interesting! If you can please send a link! 🤗✨ Have fun in your studio!! Thanks so much and hope you are doing well!! Cheers- Robin 👋🏽🌈💫💫💫

Hi Linda! ✨🌹 Thanks so much! You’re right…these do look more complicated than they are! 😅 I also enjoy how quickly they come together on the torch…Fun fun fun! 💫 Hope you are doing well and having a wonderful week! Cheers- Robin 🌈✨🌹🌹🌹

Hello Tracy! 💫🌹 I’m so glad you have been enjoying the demos…and that you love Stephen King! That’s awesome! And yes…these beads are beginner friendly….especially the little one. Just remember to take your time, have fun and it is ok to mess up….if glass working was easy then everybody would do it!! 😂🙏🏽🌹🌹🌹 Good luck to you my friend and if there is ever anything I can help you with….Im here for you! Cheers- Robin 🙏🏽🌈💫

Thank you so much robin!!❤❤❤ your words are very encouraging ! Thank you !

Anytime Tracy! 😍🌹🌹🌹

Hi Woodland! 💫🌹 Thank you so much! These were very satisfying to make…especially the smaller one! 🤗 Glad you enjoyed!! Hugs & Cheers- Robin🌈🌹✨✨✨

Hello Sonia! 🤗🌹 Thank you! …you will love making these! So fun!!😃✨ Great to hear from you & hoping all is well! Hugs and cheers- Robin 🌈👋🏽🌹

Hello Sap! ✨🌹 Thanks so much!! These little buds are a lot of fun to make…and quick! Perfect for when it’s too warm to be on the torch very long! 😂 Glad you enjoyed! Cheers- Robin 🌈👋🏽🌹🌹

Thank you Brindledragon!!🤗🌹🌹 So happy you enjoyed!! Cheers- Robin 👋🏽🌈💫

Hi Todd! 🤗🌹 The color is called Yellow Uranium Pastel #591265…it is gorgeous! However it does not react under UV light. I need to get some more as I quickly used the little that I bought. 😂 Glad you enjoyed! 👋🏽 Cheers- Robin 🌈🌹🌹🌹

Hi Jirup!! 🤗✨✨ Glad you enjoyed these little guys! Great to hear from you and hope you’re doing well!! 🌹 Hugs and cheers to you my friend- Robin 🌈😍🌹🌹🌹

OMG! Thank you so much CrazyKwilter! 🤗✨🌹🌹🌹 I’m so happy to know that you are enjoying these demos!! Plus…I am desperate for certain color rods and your generous gift is much appreciated!! 😍🙏🏽✨✨✨ Thanks again and have a wonderful week ahead my friend!! Hugs and cheers to you- Robin 🌈🌹💫

Hi Joanne! ✨🌹 I’m glad you found this helpful! These are fun to make and such a nice gift to give. I hope you were successful in making some! ✨Thanks so much for sharing! Cheers- Robin 🌈👋🏽

@@scottwoodresearchThis turned out to be a great technique for handling a larger volume of soft glass. The metal punty makes all the difference. I used electrical tape instead of an elastic - it’s much more heat resistant. I think in my first one I used too much glass though. I’ll try another next weekend!

@joannecarson5568 Hi Joanne! 🤗🌹 The metal puntys help immensely with the amount of glass here! …and I will try electrical tape next time!😅👍🏽 These worry stones are so popular….perfect for gifting. I’m so glad to hear that you are making some! Have a wonderful weekend & Cheers to you - Robin🌈🙏🏽✨✨✨

@@scottwoodresearch I wanted to let you know that the recipient of the worry stone I made absolutely loves it! She is the mother-in-law of someone I work with and was rubbing her hand raw. Now she has the worry stone to hold and apparently she shows it to everyone that visits. I asked what colours she liked before I made it to tune it to her specifically. A total win! 😁

@joannecarson5568 That’s awesome Joanne! 💫🌹 I’m so glad you shared this….almost made me cry! 😭💫 Im so happy that your glass art will help her heal….such a wonderful story!! Big Hugs and cheers to you- Robin 🙏🏽🌹🌹🌹

Hello P.K.! 💫😃 Thanks!! These are super fun to make and surprisingly fast…you will love them!! 🌈✨ Great hearing from you! Cheers- Robin 🌹🌹

Many Thanks, Tami! 🤗🌹 So glad you enjoyed these little guys! 💫 Cheers- Robin 🌈👋🏽

Hi Cheri! 🤗🌹 I had such a great time with them in town! 💫. I have taught both in person and online teaching. It all really depends on what you are interested in learning…but I’m willing to help!🌹

Hello Mirela! ✨🌹 I’m so glad to hear that you have been enjoying the demos and that they have been helpful! 🤗 My favorite bead release is Foster Fire Smooth and Tuff bead release…you can get it from Frantz Art Glass online. It is by far the best I have found! But it can still crack if your mixture is too thin. 💫 About not melting the mandrel…. It depends on what it is made of. The only reason a mandrel would melt is from being too hot. A smaller flame and less heat on the wire can help. I hope this helps!! 🌹✨🌹Thanks so much for reaching out! ✨✨✨Cheers- Robin 👋🏽🌈🤗

@@scottwoodresearch thank you! Yes I was trying yesterday to make multiple spacer beads but a very thin steel mandrel, didn't look for a second and it just cut like glass .. ordering that! Truly thank you immensely for all the incredible content and your sweet fast response

@mirelapopovici9077 Anytime Mirel! I’m here for you! 🌈🌹🌹🌹🤗

Thank you so much, D! 🤗✨ We appreciate your support!!! 💫🌈💫 I am almost out of clear rod and this will definitely help! 🙏🏽 I’m so happy that you’re enjoying the demos! 🌹 Many thanks with Big hugs and Cheers- Robin 🌈🌹✨✨😃

@@scottwoodresearch Your tutorials are a gift to the glass community. And your imagination and innovation are truly appreciated. Thank you.

Awe! 😭 That is so kind of you to say! 🌹🙏🏽 I love sharing what little I know about this amazing material with you all! It’s also fun to research patterns and techniques that are new to me…there are some that still have me stumped, but I’ll keep trying! 😅🌈 Cheers - Robin 💫🌹🌹

Hello Aurin! ✨🌹 I’m so glad you are enjoying the demos! 💫 After I clean my beads out I put some olive oil on a toothpick and swirl it in the hole…it is much better than nail polish and lasts longer. 😂 It’s simple but it works! 👍🏽 Thanks so much for your comment and question! Cheers- Robin👋🏽🌈✨

@@scottwoodresearch Thank you for the answer❤️❤️❤️. You are amazing. What are you think, if use the resin and a UV lamp for the smooth hole? Will this work?

@aurin1944 hello Aurin! 🌹 I think that’s brilliant and don’t know why i didn’t think of it before! 😂🙏🏽✨✨ The UV might be perfect….it’s definitely worth a try! Thanks for the suggestion!! 🌈🌹🌹

Hi Jast! ✨🌹 Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words! 🤗🙏🏽 Glad you are enjoying the demos. Cheers to you- Robin 👋🏽🌈🌹🌹🌹

Thank you for the compliment! The trimmer is much more powerful than the corded one that died after twenty years. (R.I.P.) The bamboo grass behind my garage used to laugh at the old trimmer. This Atlas trimmer made short work of it, right down to the dirt. No problem! 👍🏼

@@scottwoodresearch good to know! I have a trusty echo 2 cycle that is a little beast. But I would like a battery option for quick trims around the house. I'm debating on the Bauer or Atlas offering. I've had nothing but good results with all of my Bauer power tools.

@Sooflojoe so. My buddy across the street from me has the Bauer. After seeing what the Atlas can do he wishes he had gotten the Atlas. The bonus is that the battery works with the Mower, 16 & 18 inch chainsaw and blower. And my buddy wised he had seen that Harbor Freight offered a lawn mower or he would have gone with the Atlas.

@@scottwoodresearch thanks for info. I was actually considering the atlas lawnmower in the future, so this is the icing on the cake 😉

I love mine. I just used the 40V chainsaw (came free with the purchase of the 80/40 volt battery). It works great and it will do 99% of what I will need one for. I’ll be posting a review of that this weekend. Cheers!

Matilda had a great time in the dungeon! She did well! 🤗🌹🌹🌹

Hello Spring! 🤗✨ I’m so glad that watching this video has helped you out with dot placement…It’s not an easy thing to do and is something all flameworkers practice continuously! 💫 It takes lots of time, dedication and most of all, patience to get comfortable with the glass as I’m sure you know! I’m so excited for your glass journey! 😍🌹🌹 I am here for you if you need help….anytime! An interview sounds fun! 💫✨ Thanks so much for sharing and reaching out my friend! Cheers- Robin 🙏🏽🌈✨✨
