I love the fact that she purposefully makes mistakes so she can show you how to fix them in real time? That's so much more helpful than just saying 'this could happen and you should do this'. She give explanations for her decisions and shows different tools/supplies in use. As someone watching this for the first time, I feel I've actually learned something, which is kinda amazing.

Great information, thank you for posting. Donna did a great job speaking clearly and including details often left out by experienced glass artists. I don't know if you're still making videos, but it would be nice if you would consider showing more close-ups of what Donna is actually doing or showing. For example, she was showing how to do score lines and the camera was looking at a different angle then where she was holding the glass. Another example is when she was talking about the wire the camera was out of focus and at an angle that the viewers could not see either the label or the actual wire. And one last example was when she lifted the piece to show the first side and the camera stayed away for her so whatever she intends us to see we could not. Anyhew, just a suggestion. Thanks again for posting, I learned lots!

For the straight line, it's in the shoulder. Put your pen down on the paper, then instead of moving your fingers or wrist or even elbow, move your shoulder in one swift mouvement. Don't look at your pen tip, look where you want your line to end. And practice and do warms up!
