Hey guys, we’re exploring the delights of shiny with Gold Fuming glass lampwork beads today.

I’m make this an action packed blog post, filled with lots of goodies for you to watch and enjoy learning. :)

Let’s get going…Gold fuming glass lampwork beads…

The first video has my demo beads and instructions. Be sure to watch to understand more clearly what I’m doing as I demo the gold fuming technique in my 2nd video. It also has some tips you need to know. Watch here…

This second video has me demoing the Gold Fuming technique and then how to combine Gold Fuming with Silver Fuming on lampwork beads. Fun, Fun, Fun!

Just a few details to point out to you…

1. Do a few practice fuming without a bead so you can just concentrate on seeing the fuming process and how the flame changes. It doesn’t show up very well in my videos.

2. If you lose the silver effect going from gold to silver, try using a reducing flame to coax the silvery look back.

3. I bought my gold nuggets at  RioGrande

4. Be sure to wear a mask!

Are you afraid to use Gold Fuming? I know, burning away pure gold can be scary! It’s alright…you have to learn!

Any questions about fuming? :)
