Lamp worked beads are thought to originate form the 14th century and became a popular technique throughout Europe. Modern lamp workers use gas torches which have air blown through them as an oxidiser in the process. The burning flame used to heat the glass to a molten state is so bright it's difficult to look at!

It's a short week this week thanks to the bank holidays we'll be experiencing a four day weekend. I'm not entirely sure how I'll be spending it yet, I have a few craft experiments earmarked for trying out that I wouldn't normally have the time to do. I'm also going to do a bit of baking and I might just squeeze in throwing a few pots and going down the pub. All things considered I'm just looking forward to being able to spend some time at home, not really having to go anywhere or rush around will make for a nice change! -------------------------- Links -------------------------- Buy prints here on DA - http://scarlet1800.deviantart.com/s
