RIBBON TRICKS. 2 parts. Tutorial for lampworkers.

RIBBON TRICKS
Tutorial for lampworkers

This tutorial is intended for those who work with COE 104 glass.
The difficulty is intermediate.
I present for your attention the "Ribbon Tricks" tutorial in two parts, describing two techniques of using
glass ribbons.
Each part has a complete description of the process, including a link to the video and detailed step-by-step
instructions.
The first part of the tutorial (“Ribbon Rose”) describes an original way of making a murrini rose, using the
special ribbon technique which I use most often. The entire process is shown, from the manufacture of
ribbons to the stretching of the murrini.
In addition to the video and step-by-step instructions for creating a delicate pink rose, I reveal my secret
information about the glasses that I use to create roses of different colors along with illustrations. Using this
information and a universal technique, you can make your beads more varied, as well as use my experience in
making any other murrini. And you will also find out what kind of glass murrini are difficult to smudge during
installation.
The second part of the tutorial (“Ribbon Soul”) shows how to create an original bead with a complex
background with using a special technique. It continues my series “Soul of the Bead” which includes tutorials
“Lacy Soul”, “Palm Soul”, “Whirl Soul”, and “String Soul”.
In addition, you will find information how to install murrini, how to make the flowers remain voluminous
inside the bead, how to optically enlarge the bead's pattern, and some other useful little things.
Two parts together show how a bead and flowers are combined into a single whole, but do not merge,
creating the impression that flowers are born from the background. This is achieved by making the bead
background of the same glass as the murrini.
At the same time, the techniques shown in the tutorial can be used independently: ribbon murrini can be
installed on any bead background, and any murrini can be placed on the ribbon bead.
