HELP
 

Hello lampworkers.

Does anyone know how this gem is made. I think technique or tutorial.
The bead is form Trollbeds and the name is unique lovely pink braid, but it can be other collors. It is like BRAID-pattern.
Thank you.:love: Devana

Help
 

Here are pictures of these beads.

no help here, but good luck finding it

It looks like dots on alternating sides and then a *small* gravity swirl. I've done that kind of design that way before.

I think Meliisa is right, but the base bead needs to be a disk so that the dots will spread like that......

The apple core lampwork bead. You can by the tutorial with this wonderful technichniques
from Liliana bead at: http://www.lilianabead.com/
I did it- and-here is the result.

Oh, Devana, gorgeous apple beadie! I've seen this technique before; can you possibly give us a link to where the tutorial is available? :)

Jim Smirech??? has an apple core bead but made it as a bicone. You might find it on youtube

I believe Jim was the original apple core bead maker.

The tutorial from Lilian is On Etsy.

Jim Smircich did the technique originally, he's got a tutorial out there somewhere I think.

Here is the link for Lilianabead and her applecorebead:

Yes, it's Jim's technique.

In post 6 she mentions trying out the apple core bead instead.

Ahhh. I missed that. I kept coming back to this thread b/c I've seen those woven type beads and wondered myself.

Pink braid bead
 

Just found this thread from a few years back. I've been interested in the braid technique, headed out to the studio to experiment in a few minutes.

That braid technique puzzles me, too! Maybe if we all out our heads together???

The braid is definitely alternating dots gravity swirled. I've made a ton of them.

Hi Shawnette!! Can you post some pictures of your beads? It would be nice to se.
Thanks for the tip.

I got one like that by accident. Did the alternating dots on diskish and melting it down it got away from me...

I'll have to try that - it's a cool look!

I doubt I have any pictures. I made them as part if my production when I used to make beads. It's been years since I've made any. If I find any photos, I'll post them.
