Recycling glass for bead making and fusing is all the rage. There are so many beautful bottles out there that are luscious color wise. I recently used a Pelligrino bottle for both a small decorative plate and some lovely glass beads. In the past I would cut strips from the bottle to make beads but that wasn’t always reliable since sometimes the bottle didn’t cut well and I found myself trying to make beads with chunks. Not fun. So I thought…why not put the broken bottle in a pot and pull it into rods from the vitrigraph kiln. It worked so well that I plan on making rods with every bottle I get my hands on…always remember though, your bottles will probably not be compatible with each other. Keep it all separate…when you melt the glass, make the beads or fuse it. Check out some vitrigraph in action with Leigh and Larr…
