Lampwork Artist in Action

Ever wondered how a lampworker makes those awesome beads we all drool over? Take a look at this little video. I've taken a couple of beginning lampwork classes and when I remember how I struggled just to make a plain, simple round bead, it's truly amazing to watch a REAL artist at work.

Oh, and I think I need that bead, too. (I'm totally hopeless LOL!)

And she does it with acrylic nails! Remember being told at our first class that acrylic nails could burst into flame? Although, I'll admit, watching that video kinda gives me the urge to clean out the crap room so I can get to the glass stuff!
