Sometimes (well, quite seldom) I make ethnic beads in sets. This one is red, maybe with some brown shade. Very good with blue pattern! #salamandersglass #myetsyshop #lampwork #lampworkbeads #bohobeads #ethnicbeads #lampworkbeadset #beadsforjewelry https://www.instagram.com/p/B-2YsJHhSpc/?igshid=1hx9yjssfovqx

That’s so frustrating that I can’t work in my studio now (and at least one month more). However, I try not to get depressed - draw a lot in different styles, post beads regularly (I post drawings in my other profile), and use this time to build some good habits like meditation, drawing anatomy and waking up earlier. How is your quarantine now? Do you go outside sometimes or stay at home all the time? We go out only once a week to buy food, but maybe will order a delivery from a mall next time. 🌸Bthw. These beads are in my Etsy shop already, check the link in the taplink section. #salamandersglass #lampworkbeads #lampwork #glassbeadsforsale #lampworkflowers #quarantinetime https://www.instagram.com/p/B-epjg6h0G4/?igshid=t6kcy9pitv35

Today not one but four big hole beads / European charm beads. I want to show how different they can be even of the one floral kind. Which one do you like more? 😀 Almost all of them are available in my Etsy shop, only the 2nd one is sold (dark blue one). #lampworkbeads #salamandersglass #etsyshop #etsylampwork #bigholebeads #largeholebeads #lampworkeuropeancharm #lampworkflowers https://www.instagram.com/p/B-PfEmInF6t/?igshid=1jn52i5q8qqwl

Do you wear European style bracelets? I love to make beads for them! Most of all - with flowers and nebula dots. You can find some of them in my Etsy shop (link in the taplink⬆️). This one is new, with big transparent flowers and mesmerizing patterns below the petals. #lampworkbeads #largeholebeads #europeanbeads #bigholebeads #salamandersglass #lampwork https://www.instagram.com/p/B-IU3uoHF2_/?igshid=w3t3o2kw6s39

This is the most popular color among all my beads. I call it “aqua-purple” or “aqua-violet”. I make a simple “aqua” without violet hues sometimes, but it isn’t in such a big request. I think it’s because this one is more complicated and enchanting. Thank you so much for your reviews! I’m happy every time when I read them. #salamandersglass #lampwork #lampworkbeads #lampworkflowers #beadsforjewelrymaking https://www.instagram.com/p/B99pVHqHidp/?igshid=1h2ruuutt6osg

❓Dear colleagues, how are you doing these days? How do you deal with the stress, or maybe you don’t stress at all? 🎨It’s quite a difficult time for everybody. Many people fill stressed and insecure. Actually I believe that artists and craft people have an advantage - we always know what to do with ourselves, even in the isolation. 🧼Wash your hands, keep social distance and make crafts! In any confusing situation - make crafts. #lampworking #lampworkbeads #salamandersglass https://www.instagram.com/p/B92BOZpHu5d/?igshid=6b8oifm97y87

I make combined bead sets sometimes, when I have beads which are in one style, but somehow different. I love to mix them, change variations and create a unique set. I believe that each one set suits perfectly for making a bracelet because of this natural difference between the beads. It’s like a bunch of flowers 💐 and you can create something beautiful of it.

I’ve been wanting to show a little bit of my lampwork studio for quite some time, and maybe to tell about processes... And decided to start with my torch (or burner). ⠀ 🔥A torch is an essential part of any lampwork studio. Some flameworkers use only gas (propane or natural gas), and others (and me) use gas + oxygen. This mix gives higher temperature and amazing effects inside silver glass. ⠀ 🔥You can see on photos that the burner has too faucets - red is for propane in my case, and silver is for oxygen. ⠀ 🔥There are a lot of different burners with different characteristics, mine is Mega Minor by Nortel, quite a popular one. It is used for both soft and hard (borosilicate) glasses. ⠀ 🔥Ask me anything about my studio if you want, I’ll gladly tell more. Also, I’m going to post about other tools soon. 😊 ⠀ #salamandersglass #lampworking #makingbeads #flameworking #creativeprocess #salamandersstudio #lampworkbeads #lampwork https://www.instagram.com/p/B9kKqzmn9wG/?igshid=174kxeyn7er52

Do you remember roses from the previous post? These are quite similar, without water drops but of very bright colors. They are great for a pair of spring earrings or a bracelet. #salamandersglass #glassbeads #lampwork #lampworkbeads #forjewelry https://www.instagram.com/p/B9AMA02hPEb/?igshid=10t6gm55n6hy4

At last! I’ve added them to the Etsy shop (link in my Bio). They are so cool, I’m literally excited 😆 They vary a little in shape and form, but you can find two equal enough for a pair of earrings, and others are perfect for a bracelet or a necklace. 🌸🌷💕 #lampwork #lampworkbeads #salamandersglass #flowerbeads #beadsforjewelry #jewelrymaking #pinkbeads https://www.instagram.com/p/B1TNqqBIxlb/?igshid=p3ls67cl8k5b
