Amazing how you get every piece the same size! I've tried doing micromosaic and that seems to be the most difficult part. Any tips or just a lot of practice!
Thanks! It definitely takes a lot of practice! You need to keep a close eye on how the glass reacts to your flame, remember it has a delayed reaction, and remember to keep your eyes in the external edge of the flame nearest where you’re pulling from. You can move the glass in and out of the flame according to the size you need. When I teach students it’s quite a physical lesson, I’m often pulling and pushing students in and out of the flame. It’s so hard to explain in words!
@@barbarakonschak8839 oh it’s just a matter of your eyes getting used to the size. You can mark it out on paper to compare to at the beginning. If your bezel is 5mm deep, your tesserae should be no longer than 4mm.
@@citrinette thank you for your help and willing to share. Wish you would do a on line class with making the filato! Would love to go to Italy and take the course, maybe someday!
@@barbarakonschak8839 you’re welcome! it’s something I’ve been asked before but it’s such a complex thing. I really need to be near the student and to guide your hands often. It would be so hard on line! I hope you can make it here some day!

@@citrinette thanks I will keep trying! How do you figure out where to file the glass so it is the same length in the bezel?

You do Great work Gabrielle . Do you know if Orsoni have red (master tent) .
I don't know if the spelling is correct .
Hello Issam, thank you! Yes Orsoni has rubino master tint now but it’s very pink. Not so Red. I haven’t tried it yet so I don’t know the quality.
@@citrinette ok , thank you very much 🌺
