Beadication


WELCOME  TO BEADICATION!!!
 
I make lampworked beads in my home studio on a Nortel Mega Minor torch and an oxygen concentrator. All my beads are properly annealed in a digitally controlled kiln so they will last a lifetime.

Christmas is Coming
I have built in reminders for how far away Christmas is. My oldest's birthday is exactly 5 weeks before Christmas Day. Starting the first of October, she starts counting down the days. There are 63 lampworking days till Christmas. Last week, I highlighted some free Christmas themed tutorials. This week, I want to highlight some pay-for tutorials. Some I have tried, others I have just dreamed of doing. Please support these wonderful artists.

Icicles and Blown Christmas ornaments
By:
Candice King-Palgut
I have this tutorial and it is wonderful. You do need tubing but this tutorial includes information on where to buy it.

Santa Face Bead
By: Studio Marcy
I have not seen this tutorial but I have seen others written by Marcy Lamberson and they are all well written.

Gold Champagne and Sparkle Balls E-Book

By: Christina Stofmeel
This is on my wish list. Once you see these, you will know why. This tutorial includes how to use murrini, something I need desperately.

Twisted Pixie Pots

By: Laurie Donnette
Another one on my wish list. This tutorial includes how to make the glass pots and the encased twisties that go inside of it. What I love about this tutorial, is that she is continuing to publish free mini tutorials on items to put in the pots. You can see her Halloween mini tuts here. You do need hollow mandrels, I have 1/4 inch hollow mandrels for sale here.


Talking Twisties
Now, if you want to make the Twisted Pixie Pots but NOT make the twisties, check out KatieGeeDesigns on Etsy. She has wonderful twisties in all sorts of organic combinations.


Fussion Frit
Avenue Beads has some great new Fusion Frits. What is great about Fusion Frit is that each piece has multiple colors on it. Developed by Joe & Barry, each small piece of glass leave wonderful designs on the base glass. You can check out all the wonderful frits here.
