This is a close up view over my shoulder as I flamework. You can see my process from start to finish with very little editing as I form a round bead and decorate it with tiny dots. I filmed this demonstration at my glass bench where I work every day so you can get a real feel from inside my studio.

I am using Effetre COE 104 glass
Torch: GTT Lynx

I’ve been following you and your work since I started making beads 15 years ago. Thank you for being so open in sharing your work. When I first started making beads I was thoroughly unimpressed with dots. I thought they were simple. How wrong I was! They still challenge me to this day!

Such a sweet bead ... I can see why this would be addictive. Thank you, Kristina.

November of this year will be the 30th anniversary of my first bead making class, and I am forever grateful that my teacher was you! This video is wonderful and I hope you make many more.

Hello Kristina, I've been watching you now just about two weeks. I'm taking bead glass making classes at art school and loving it. However I know practice makes perfect. You're truly the dot queen😁.

Hi Kristina. My dot bead exploration end about 2003. I was fun. Taught me a lot. Focus and attention. Disaplined my mind.

Thank you 🙏 very much! I’m so glad you made this video. I now understand how much planning, preparation, and measuring goes into it as well as how patient you are and how much patience I should have with myself. Truly grateful. I am really excited to go back to the torch as soon as I can. 🥰

I saw your channel pop up in my recommended and subscribed immediately. Wonderful video, thank you for sharing. I have the exact same torch (GTT Lynx), and had to pack all my stuff away a few years ago until I can be in a place where I can set up a studio again. I miss it a lot! Been inspired by your work for a long time. 💚
