I create the beads through a process called "lampworking" which involves melting glass rods with a torch. I continue to add glass to the bead and it's at this stage that I can mix colors, change the shape of the bead, etc.

Once I'm finished with the bead, I put it in a kiln for "annealing" which is a process that allows the bead to cool slowly and gain strength and durability.
