STAR MASHERS |
|
|
|
Used to make star murrini. Much easier than using a bead scale optic mold for the simple
reason that when an optic mold is scaled down, the viscosity of the glass stays the same. This makes it very difficult to get the glass down into the mold, if not impossible. To use the star masher is very
easy. Just form a cylinder of glass about 3/4" in diameter and an inch or two long. Punty it on an end. Using the star mashers, pinch along the side of the cylinder to form a leg of the star. Repeat
around the cylinder to complete the star. You can fill in between the points to round out the murrini or wipe on a thin layer of another color and repinch the points. Pull down the murrini as usual. A
smaller cylinder will have fewer points to the star. A larger cylinder will have more. |

HEMOSTATS |
|
|
|
Use the longer hemostats for making buttons and small pendants. Many buttons are made
with a copper wire loop on the back. Bend a short length of wire into a U - like a short bobby pin. Then bend out the ends. Clamp a hemostat onto the curve of the U to become a handle and then either add
glass to the wire to create a button or first make a button on a punty, heat its back and press the wire into it. You will probably find it easier to hold the hemostat shaft while making glass items; it's
easier to rotate. 8" hemostats have about 7" of shaft. Use the 3" hemostats to clamp on the ends of your beading string. They allow you to review your work without worry of the beads sliding
off. Also, if you need to remove the first bead strung, it's faster to remove the hemostat than it is to cut off the clasp end or unstring everything. |
