Like a pearl is formed .... try again ... here to show. The problem was "pearl" for which I need both hands and therefore could not take pictures of all steps.
I hope it becomes clear how a pearl is formed.
Enjoy
The photos show the preparation of a snail pearl like this
rainbow snail
for the pearl that I make here I would need first thin "stringers" . For this, warms a clear glass rod at the top and then pulled out with tweezers, a thin glass fiber. Unsharp visible in the background. After this preliminary work is complete,
is to one, with a release agent coated, stainless steel rod, the "basic bead" wrapped. In this case, white. The glasses I use are made in bars between 3mm and 1cm in various colors. (In the photos you can in the background, seen in my well-organized clutter various bars.)
After I had formed of the white glass of a pearl, I have wrapped a layer blue glass.
Now everything has to be melted down patiently, and in the
final form will be placed. Now the previously made "stringers" are used and
are melted Spiral on the basic bead.
then
another lap, the first one. The whole is now
melted patiently .. On to the next round, it again applied clear glass
and yet another round. Finally, once is plenty of clear glass melted
and tidy heated through. It develops slowly, the screw inside the pearl.
are now other types of glass melted on the pearl and
then melted down. Here I have Verbwirbelt the glasses with another glass rod.
Now the entire bead is heated, so that I can then
"flatten" can. For this I use graphite tools, which can also be formed hot glass
The result is referred to level off by the cooling rings, this is to be patient to melt away and to bring the pearl in a beautiful shape.
All this lasted a good 90 minutes.
I would gladly have shown you the finished bead, but was photographed by the constant cool when built up so much tension in the glass that shattered when they cool down.
Well go have her, no pearl but now you have an idea of how pearls are made, I hope, or
