Beautiful, Jennifer...just ordered!! Now I would love for your next one to be about your enamel use. I took your class in Yorktown, Virginia about two years ago, and my notes sucked!! You did a lot of enamel beads, and you did the one on your cards. So many of use need help with enamels!!

Great tut, thanks, Pat

whoo-hoo!!! Just ordered mine! Thanks so much, can't wait to get it!

Oooooooh!!! Just ordered it. I'm so excited. Thanks Jen. I have one of your ornate series beads and adore it.

Jenn

YAY! Oh pulease say the next one will be your Bird one...:love:

yeah, the BIRD!!!!! And, Jen, I don't think Ann has ever made a bird!!! We all need a Bird....with a little enamel work on the side!!!! Sometime next week will be fine, thank you.................Pat

ok, just ordered, can't wait to learn how to do this!! Jaquetta

Yes, please do one on birds!!! BTW, got the tut and it is wonderful! Thank you!

I got this tutorial today and fired up the torch as soon as it arrived in my email.
It's a really fun bead to make!
As soon as my "ornate" bead is out of the kiln I'll post a picture.
Thanks for the great tutorial Jennifer!

This tutorial is fantastic. I have made one "ornate bead" already and I only bought and received the tut this morning. There is plenty of room for improvement with my first bead but I'm thrilled with how it turned out.

Thank you Jen. Next tutorial please!!!
Jenn

I aM TELLING YOU ALL that's a freaking steal. I took the class and took notes and I think next month when I get a bit o play money I'll be getting it. LOL I look at my notes and go WHAT the HECK was that supposed to mean. LOL

Fresh out of the kiln...
This is the first one I made from this tutorial.
It's a big bead, 48mm, I had a hard time keeping it from cracking, but it was a great excersise in heat control!
I'm going to play with this again today. :)

Maggie, WOW...I love it...I am going to take a pix if you don't mind and add it to the tut...that looks great!!

Pat

Thanks Pat! :)
Go ahead and use the image if you want, I am also learning how to take pictures of beads and this was the best one so far.

Woo Hoo!!!
Awesome Maggie!!

I just got this tutorial yesterday and I'm having lots of fun. So far I've made two beads. The first one was very big because I couldn't picture how large it would grow. I'm posting a picture of the second one. I think the ornate part on the top of the bead is a bit too long but I was covering up some of the dark teal glass I'd used... because the color transition was too strong.
Jennifer has great instructions for choosing colors but I was in a hurry to try another bead. Also, on this one I skipped the ornate addition at the bottom on the bead. Anyway, this is a well done tutorial. It's lots of fun and I can't wait to play with it some more! Thanks for putting it together for us Jennifer!

Beautiful beads! Now I need to get the tutorial :)

Jennifer! That rocks!! Beautiful!!

I'm still working to understand the tops of these beads and the spacing of the wraps. These are a pretty darn time consuming bead....taking at least as long as my encased florals but I'm........ Having. So. Much. Fun.

I apologize for hogging! ;)

Holy cow those are beautiful . I've got to take a picture.

I can't wait to try these out... I just bought one of each tutorials :D

Gorgeous, Jennifer!! I want the last one...I see eyes and a pretty crown!!

Pat

Those are wonderful!!
Looking at these pictures is like having grandbabies... :) I get to see the results without having to do all the work!! LOL
Beautiful!!

Jen - is the same as you teach in the classes? Just trying to not buy what I've already got from the WONDERFUL class you did at Portia's!

WOW - the beads are just delicious. As soon as I get some payments in ,I'm gonna buy the tut!

Hi Lynn,
Nope... no new info.
It's the same bead..no worries!

Hi Jen,
Sent you an e-mail, got your e-mail but no attachments. Am I supposed to be downloading the file from your site?

Just ordered mine!!! Looks great!

I have had such fun with this tutorial, thanks Jen.
I need a lot more practice to get neater and get things in better proportion, also picking the colours is not easy. Its also given me ideas on other things so I have really enjoyed it.

The first one is as per the tut, but I made the one end too small in the end and ended up with too much enamel, but I love the colours anyhow, it also ended up big at 2.1/2 inches long, oops.

The next one was my second attempt, changed the colours, not happy with it really but its all good practice.

Lesley, I love the colors of the second one!! You can send it my way, as I haven't tried one yet!!

Pat

Ditto!!! Care to share what colors you used?

Wow All of these incredible pics made me purchase this Tut. I hope I can do it justice as you all have!!

Waitin, Waitin, Waitin!!! LOL Im Waitin can ya tell!

Eek! So sorry about that! I re-sent it....hope you got it!!

Lesley, Those are beautiful!!! Will you be in my class in England next month?
I'd love to finally meet you!

It's coming!! Sorry, I have been away from my computer this weekend... you'll have it REALLY soon!! I promise!!

LOL Jen I was just joking I had just purchased it, I figured a day or so before I get it.

No rush really!! and no reason to be sorry! :)

Thank you Pat, you are very kind.

Jen - I wish, unfortunately I don't have either the money or indeed the holiday time to be able to take your course. I am as we say in the UK "gutted". You have a wonderful time though and I hope that next time you are over I can do your course. :smile:

This was a fun bead to make. Larger than I'm used to but I did manage to keep it warn. Am anxious to try it in fall colors next. Thanks, Jen.

I vote for the bird with enamels for the next tut. I am still working with the window tut and having fun. The beautiful beads here make me itchy to buy the new one too. Love it, Barb

What beautiful beads, How did I miss this one??? Just purchased and am waiting for it to arrive in my email.

Still waiting for mine.....:sad:

Yeah...... I got it. I want to go down and play right now....but the kiln is still annealing this mornings batch so I guess I'll just sit and read it over and over and play tomorrow.

It looks wonder Jen, thanks.O:)

I just ordered it and can't wait for it to arrive via email.
It's Twin Dolphins Diving,Jen.
Thanks
Jill

Thanks for an excellent tutorial, Jennifer! Why have I never thought to try encasing this way? I get inconsistent results with other methods, but this I can do! I can picture so many directions to take all the tidbits provided in this tutorial, and I haven't even been to the torch with it yet.

I just ordered it, everyone's successes is so encouraging!! You all did a wonderful job!!!

Ordered mine...looking forward to it!:happy:

Oh wow! I got it!!! Gotta go!

I can't get the link this morning.
Jen.....are they all gone???
:(:(:(:(

Anne

I went to buy one too Anne, and her Etsy shop says she's out of town until October 12th. Maybe check back next week :)

I just took a class with Jen in England a couple of days ago (which was fantastic - of course) and then she was travelling on to Switzerland until the 10th. I think her laptop got left behind by mistake so she may not see this until she returns from her travels. Perhaps if you e-mail her she might be able to pick that up somewhere along the way.

I'm trying to purchase but the shop says it's closed :(

Jen has pnuemonia and was stuck in Switzerland. Don't know if she's back home yet or not.
