Lampwork beads with a two gas torch

Hey everyone,

today I had my first time with a two gas torch (a phoenix).I went to a studio where they have different kinds of torches. 

It was so super exciting, that I was completely exhausted after three hours work and so I went straight for a nap. 

It is a completely different experience at the torch:

- first of all you can hear your own thoughts :O

- glas is melting super fast

- the flame is much more precise 

So here you have the results... They are not the greatest beads I made, but in defense I had to get used to the torch while doing these.

More pictures below!

Here you can have some closer looks at the beads, if you like. The beads are relatively small, even for me (and my beads are always kind of small), and I can't explain why. I expected them to be super large with such a hot flame, when I can gather a lot of glas in such a short time.

So now the debacle I always have with practice beads... how to combine them in a necklace? Well I will figure it out. =)
