Using a @didyclips phone clip-on lens - it is amazing what a difference a Didymium lens can make when watching glass melt! . #didyclips #didyclip #didymium #flameworking #flamework #flameworker #flameworkbeads #lampwork #lampworkglass #lampworking #lampworker #softglass #moltenglass #handmadeglass #glassmaker #lizbowdenbeads #glasslampwork #meltingglass 
As promised... Handy hints when using a didymium @didyclips lens: 1. Make sure no light is getting in between the DidyClips lens and your camera lens- which may cause reflections. 2. Adjust your auto focus / exposure so that the camera stays at a constant level. 3. Set your camera up so that it is not in a hazardous position, whilst still being as close to the action as possible! . A handy piece of kit and I am sure I will get lots of use from it - no more ‘bodge it and scarper’ efforts with elastic bands, old didymium glasses and delicate balancing acts for me! . Final tip - if you can use your headphone buttons to operate the camera shutter, it makes for a much smoother operation 👍 .

It is a very exciting day 🥳My @didyclips lens has arrived- all the way from Californ-i-a!!! 🇺🇸 This great little gadget means I can film/photograph my flamework without worrying about the glare from the flame or balancing overly complicated old didymium glasses/phone/tripod contraptions on my workbench. So much safer and so much more sensible... More to follow, so watch this space! . Thank you so much to @didyclips - I was a very lucky little lampworker when I won this amazing gift 💕 . #lampwork #lampworking #lampworkglass #flameworking #flamework #flameworker #lizbowdenbeads #didyclips #didymium #glasswork #iphonelens #lenses

Spring is well underway here and Mother Nature has obviously received my wholesale order for lots of fresh supplies of mini Wish Bauble fillings. Each small handmade glass bauble has been individually blown by myself on a small blowpipe, slowly cooled then filled with lots of lucky dandelion seeds! . Find them on my stall at the next @made_in_shropshire fair in Shrewsbury Town Square or order online via my website. If you can’t find the colour you want, please send me an email/message to discuss. . #minibaubles #glassbaubles #handmadeglass #wishmeluck #wishfulthinking #wishes #lampworkglass #lampworking #lampwork #dandelion #dandelionwishes #dandelions #lizbowdenbeads #flamework #handmadebaubles #uniqueglass #uniquehandmade #handmadewithlove #baubles
