Pleading for help finding a tutorial
I KNOW I saw, and have somewhere, a tutorial called marble beads, either in print via book/magazine, or in a pdf or something.
It's a nicely put together tut. It might be by Heather Trimlett or Jill Symons maybe? I seem to remember they made hollows too, which is probably not much help. I looked through all my lamp working books, my purchased tutorials, countless searches online (which I stink at) and even looked through my huge book of printed tutorials. Which was a serious commitment, as that thing is as thick as my thigh, and I'm a chubby chick. ;) The tutorial is for making beads that look like swirly marbles, with thin black stripes on top of the colored stripes and gravity swirled on each end. I can see the finished beads in my head and a couple steps but cannot remember the layering of dots. Anyone know what I'm talking about and more important to my sanity, where to find it? TIA, Bubby |

That's a really nice tut, I haven't seen it before.
Thanks for posting it, I bookmarked it for later. :) Unfortunately it isn't it. The one I saw is an older tut. I found marble beads on Heather Trimlett's website and they look very much like what I remember was in the tut. http://www.heathertrimlett.com/marbles/ Does anyone know if she shared her technique for these anywhere? There's no mention of publications on her site that I saw to point me where to look. This is driving me bonkers. Lol |

I think Astrid had one out...marble twist bead.
Here ya go, is this it? https://www.etsy.com/listing/1065940..._home_active_2 |
Maybe the Twisted Bead tute by Marjolein van Zummeren?
|
Bubby I think I remember seeing it I a magazine years ago.. step by step beads maybe or lapidary journal, or that other one that was out for a short time 6 or so years ago...?? Looking at heather's page i remember the article layout! I know what you are talking about... Your right!!! I'm just not exactly sure what it was... :/

I think Jen Geldard taught something like that

First, thank you all for your help and replies.
It is absolutely driving me crazy. (obsessive much?) :lol: Quote:
Nope, it's similar and a really nice tut that I have saved for later. :) Quote:
No, and again, a really nice tutorial, saved. ;) Quote:
I don't see anything about this tutorial online, have I mentioned my skills at searching are poor? I'll keep looking. Quote:
I'm not hallucinating then, that's a relief. Which means I may have to go through ALL my magazines. I cannot even tell you how daunting that is. *cough* magazine hoarder *cough* Quote:
I'll check around on this too. Again, thank you guys. :love: |
Okay, I've been well informed and know it isn't a tutorial from Heather Trimlett. :(
Which puts me back at square one. Time to take a couple other rabbit trails and hope I find it. |
Ok, I'm reaching here, but do you have her book by James Kervin? The Brightly Colored Beads of Heather Trimlett? It may be in there...

Thank you Alli,
I don't have that book and was told she doesn't have a tut for these beads out there. The marble bead tut I saw, the beads look very similar to hers though. I'm going to go through all my magazines (ugh!) and see if I see it. That's my last and final resort before I give it up. Quote:

Maybe this one?

This is a link to Twisted Bead. |
Thank you for posting this Jennefer.
Not it but dang, Beau makes nice beads. I'm racking up tuts in my bookmarks. :) Quote:
Thank you! I've seen it before and is really close to what I want to do. I still can't find this tutorial when I search. I see the tut is out there but just keep getting lists of what was in soda lime times. :confused: Anyway, I'm going to use this one today when I make beads. After I finish looking through my magazines in case I find the exact tut I saw. ETA: now I know how I saw it but could find it by searching. The link is in my email. Duh. Quote:

Heather Sellers has a "Twisted Bead" tutorial in the Soda Lime Times publication of Hot Glass for Cool Kids. The link is to her blog and there is a picture of the beads in her ribbon at the top of the blog. |
Thanks Ann, Hot Glass for Cool Kids looks like a great deal for all those tutorials and a great cause.
Heather Sellers makes some gorgeous and adorable beads! I've been out of the loop too long. |
