Making An Inside-Out Dot Bead
featuring Shannon Hill
Shannon Hill makes beautiful Inside-Out beads. This tutorial specifically illustrates the techniques used in making an Inside-Out Dot bead. Borosilicate tubing is fumed with silver and gold and then dots are applied to the interior wall of the tubing. For beadmakers, this is a whole new world, and for boro workers, this provides a wonderful commercial application for a familiar technique.
Note: We lost Shannon in 2009 after a courageous battle with cancer.
He will be sorely missed.
