This video covers loopstitches, also known as, spun glass or lace work, and can provide some creative options for the flame worker.
In this video the the demonstrator uses an 8mm and 6mm rod to develop the lacework. You make a maria with the 8mm and use the 6mm to attach to the maria.
Watch above to see the demonstration to see how you can use this technique in your own work today.
