(Safety Glasses Mask Yellow Glare of Flame)
glass beads by melting glass rods in a torch
or flame and winding the molten glass around
a metal rod or mandrel to form a bead.
Once the basic bead is formed, the surface
can be decorated by adding various
embellishments using the same or different
colors of molten glass.
The finished beads are annealed in a kiln to
remove any stress in the glass and to stabilize
the bead.
