How to POP a BUBBLE in the outer layer of your Glass Murrini Cane without ruining the inner design

In this lampworking tutorial video, you’ll learn how to gently and carefully pop a bubble that can form in the outer encasing layers of your murrini cane – while at the same time making sure you don’t affect the inner design. It’s important to remove all bubbles around 1mm or larger so they don’t become long channels of air trapped inside your cane that would cause your chips to become shocky or create flaws in your design.

Christmas Beads With Encased Holiday Murrini

I don’t know about you, but I have been stunned by how fast Christmas came around this year! Where has the time gone? For some reason this year seems to have just zipped by. This might be a sign that I need to slow down and ‘smell the roses’ more often 😉

As it is I feel already late in getting these Christmas beads up. It didn’t help that my bead kiln just broke down on me and I have to wait on a part from the manufacturer to fix it. Thankfully my old, big kiln worked and I was still able to get these beads done this week. Otherwise, I think it really would’ve been too late to make them in time for Christmas this year had I waited much longer.

So here they are – whew! – my encased holiday murrini Christmas beads 😀
