Glass Beads Decoration
– The decoration of the glass bead is based on some main techniques. Which allows the pearl to have infinite aesthetic variations, more or less complex:
– The thread pulling consists of pulling glass threads of thin diameter. Applying thin lines or motifs and finer points to the pearl.
– Twisting consists of pulling the threads containing different colours, and twisting them. These threads allow you to apply stitches or strokes of mixed colours.
– The deformation of the decorations. By heating the pearl in a localized way. It is possible by pulling it with a metal tip or a glass thread. Or by rotating it to deform the decoration in advance. The round points can thus be deformed to make hearts and stars drop… Using the shading technique creates distorted lines.
– The inclusion of bubbles. A depression is made in the pearl using a metal tip. Then it is covered with transparent glass. Which has the effect of trapping a small air bubble in the depression.
