Phenomenal Dichroic Fish Video Tutorial
featuring Milon Townsend
View this FREE Tutorial at: http://www.fireladyproductions.com/Site/Movies/Entries/2010/1/28_Phenomenal_Dichro_Fish_with_Milon.html
Using tubing encasement and a strip of dichro, Milon Townsend demonstrates a great way to fabricate flameworked fish. A colored glass rod is popped into a small clear tube. They are melted together, and then the dichroic strip is applied on top of the tubing. This protects reactive colors from the heat of the flame so that consistent color is maintained throughout the piece. This little lesson is an excerpt from our very first video, "Teamwork, Technology & Scale".
To celebrate the fact that I finally uploaded a video tut from "Teamwork, Technology & Scale,"...I'm offering the DVD on Sale for one week....
The tut is free....but here's the shameless plug for the DVD itself.
(Can't help it, I really do love this one.)
