It’s Saturday! Are you ready for some tutorials! This one I found on Lampwork etc. is pretty cool. It’s an implosion bead. Sort of like the boro pendants you see with the implosions…but this is a bead. Thanks Mary Lockwood for sharing this. I made a couple of these just a bit ago to make sure I could do it. They turned out nice. I’ll post them tomorrow. You basically make a disk, add dots and melt them in and then heat the disk to kind of fall over on itself. But check it out for yourself. This tutorial is done with illustrations and I found it to be very straight forward. Let me know how your bead turns out. Now go make something!

Hi, I am responding to your artical about bead making and the tutorial on Saturday!
I am totally amazed at the concept of making your own beads!
I am an embroider which has developed into fibre arts, followed by using beads for embelishment.
I love this ‘lamp design beads, and would LOVE to learn more about it!
You kindly mentioned that the tutorial is on saturday, buy i could not see where and what time do I need to be on line? I am in England, not sure where you guys are, to try and work out the time differences.
I would love to hear back from you with the information so I do not miss out on this fabulous item!
Just to mention as I am emailing you any way, to say a big thank you for all the information you find and exchange. I think you do such an excellent job. You are my favourate art/craft web site I know, and you cover such an amazingly wide subjects, which is brilliant.
Keep the good work up. I for one really appreciate all the information and have learnt a lot alone the way!
Have you thought of extending into doing a pod cast too, as I think that would be amazing!!!!!!!
many thanks alway
nicky!
Hi Nicky!
Thanks so much for your kind words. You have responded to the tutorial. It’s the illustration and there’s a link to the web site that originally posted the tutorial. Some of the links I post will show photos, some will show videos. This one happens to be illustrations. I recommend checking You Tube for glass bead making how to videos. It’s a very good source. Bead making is awesome…I’ve been doing it for almost 16 years and I can’t imagine doing anything else, except maybe making stuff with my beads. And of course glass fusing and mosaics and…it’s all about the glass! If you have any questions let me know. I don’t have any set time I post. Just check in everyday or so and see what I’ve written.
Eventually I will be creating pod casts but I’m working on my studio set up for that. Thanks again and have a great day!
