Why have a pre-sale? Lampwork tutorials are a great deal of work and require a lot of time to create. A pre-sale affords me the time needed to write the book. The tutorial will be completed on or before October 31, 2013.The Ebook will be emailed to you once completed.
I have received countless requests over the years to create a lampwork tutorial for encased florals. There are many on the market so I declined until I finally figured out (after many years of trial and error!) to create my dream bead. My dream bead is an encased floral bead which is pressed into a lovely focal size in the lentil shape. I love this shape for focal beads as they lay beautifully on the body. If you have no desire to create the pressed style of the encased florals, this tutorial will still be valuable to you as I share how I make my regular encased floral beads. They are part of the process for this design.
The tutorial will NOT include how to decorate the bead with the floral raised work as that has already been shared in my Wild about Flowers Tutorial. You may decorate the outside of your bead in any way you choose and the sky is the limit!
Lampwork Press used in tutorial::
1.25" Straight Sided regular sized lentil press, not slim! (or a press you prefer but I find this press works the best) I purchased mine from Zoozii presses but many other companies create them as well.
Tutorial includes:
1. Introduction.
2. Full color step by step photographs with detailed descriptions of the steps.
3. List of Suppliers.
4. Full rights to create as many beads as you like for you own personal use or for sale.
5. Total pages in the tutorials is not known yet.
6. Suitable for both beginners and more experienced lampworkers.
7. All glasses used are COE 104 and are readily available from many suppliers.
8. Extra photographs of alternate color combinations with glasses needed ( No idea how many yet but at least three ) The pink bead in the sale photograph is the bead demonstrated in the tutorial.
The beads in the photograph are not included in the sale.
There are no refunds for Ebooks.
Does this include details on how you achieve the backgrounds in these beautiful beads?
Thanks
Helen
Hi Helen, the tutorial will include everything on how to make the pink bead in the sale picture, BUT the surface floral decoration as that is already shared in my Wild about Flowers tutorial. I will also be including extra recipes for varied looks as I do in all of my other tutorials. Thanks!
