Got mine! Love that instant download!

Yes, the instant download was great! Thank you.

Just ordered mine too. I'm going broke with all the tutorials that are coming out!

Fantastic Amy!!! Thanks!

Thanks everyone! I really hope you like it and have as much fun webbing glass as I do. It's addictive. :)

I am proud to announce that the German Translation of the tutorial is ready as well! :-)

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm so excited to get mine too.

Boom chicka bow wow!!!

Boom chicka bow wow holy cow now: the German translation seems to have flown all the way to nowhere... ?! Hopefully Amy will find it in her Spam-files? ;-) Urgh...

Edit: Amy found it! :-)

I'm getting it up on my website right now! :)

Any tutorial authors reading this I highly recommend Martina's translation service. She also posts on the German forums for you too. She rocks!

Boom chicka bow wow, I am a holy rocking swiss cow now! ;-) THANKS, Amy!

Go to bed Martina! :lol:

Thanks again!

Just ordered mine. I love the storm tut ... can't wait to play with the webbing (come on Spring time ... I need warmer glass).

Can't find the webbing tut :(

Right side of the screen right under the "Webbing Techniques" banner. :)

ok something weird for you - thats not there when i look on my ipad:???:

I've looked at my website on an iPad before and all the graphics show up just fine. I don't have one to double check that page now though. Could it be that it's cached on your iPad because I just changed that page Wednesday.

It looks fine on my Kindle.

i just took a snapshot of the page - hang on a sec and i'll upload it

i've tried looking sideways etc, its not there

Yep. That's a cached version Deb. You need to do a hard refresh to bring the new page up. My Etsy mini is now at the top of the page and the Webbing Tutorial is on the right side. :)

Deb....here's the direct link. See if this works for you:

<difficult customer>

:lol:

Now I can go to bed. :)

thank you, must always keep the customer happy :D

Just bought it. Great that I could immediately download it. Can't wait to try. I have your storm tutorial also and I loved it.

Thank you so much for making this one. So many examples I can try.

I really need to try that instant download thing.

I just got your tutorial, Amy. It reads beautifully. I guess I kow what i'll be doing this weekend!

:lol: That cracked me up!

Got mine! Thanks so much for doing this Amy, you're a doll! :D

This is a very good tutorial. :)

This tutorial is, perhaps, more fabulous than anticipated. :)

Thanks everyone! That darn Storm Tutorial was a hard act to follow.

Seconded. It lives up to it's title completely. :D

Just got mine, looks wonderful! Thanks for the instant download too.

Just read through the tutorial and it looks great. I can't wait to play tomorrow.

I started a Webbing thread in the Gallery section - but I wanted to post them here too. Here are some webbers that I made from Amy's Wonderful tutorial yesterday..... I really, really LOVE this technique! I wonder if I can get it into a marble somehow...hmmmmm :)

Wow those are GORGEOUS! I'm sure you can do a marble with it. :)

Amy, for those who have your other tutorial which includes a 'chapter' on webbing too, what is the advantage of purchasing this new Webbing Techniques Guide?

Amy... Just outstanding! Can't wait to give it a try!

Good question! I included the standard webbing technique in my Storm Tutorial having no idea that 2 years plus later, I'd have taken the webbing technique to a whole different level. This new tutorial has step by step instructions on Standard Webbing, Heavy Webbing, Dirty Webbing, Webbing with Silver Foil, Webbing with an Activator and Webbed Dots. There is also a color guide for every Double Helix glass color that the techniques work well on.

Thanks so much!

And thanks to all those that have sent me nice emails, PM's and FB comments. I appreciate all of it! :)

Thank you for the detailed answer. Definitely tells me there is plenty more to learn and I'll have to get this one too! :koolaid:

I own both the storm tutorial and the webbing tutorial and love them both. They are two of my favorites! I love all the details Amy puts into her tutorials and different examples of what glasses look like once the technique is used. The Webbing Tutorial is another hit as far as I'm concerned! Thanks Amy!

Patsy

What a fast download! Just a super tutorial with step by step and gorgeous pictures! Thank you for sharing this beautiful technique.

Thank so much Patsy! That means a lot. :)

Thank you Shirley! I hope everyone has fun playing at the torch!

I'm not getting very good results and I know I'm doing something wrong. I wonder if I'm reducing too much as I tend to overdo everything. I just get a solid block of tan reduction that doesn't break up.

Any suggestions?

Someone else had this problem too. You know when I say "up to 25 seconds"? Well I guess depending on your set up it can take even longer. You can't over cook. Sometimes I keep cooking long after the break up for a minute or two so it's not possible to overdo it. My guess is that you aren't doing it enough.

What glass are you using?

Also, just an FYI to everyone, until you're comfortable with all the different techniques it's best to stick with the "This work best on" glass colors that I list.

Do you want pics here, in the gallery, or both?

TELL ME WOMAN.

Both. :)

FINE.

Ok, copy/paste from my gallery post:

You know how I feel about you and your tuts. I'd marry you both if it were legal.

Is it ok to tell people our combos on here? or will that give too much away?

And I HATED this one before it went in the kiln. It was so ugly, grimy, brown, and ooky. I finally slapped 2 murrini on it and said fuck it. I was very pleasantly surprised when I opened the kiln and it magically developed color.

I think I'm gonna hook up my minor for the first time ever and give it a shot on that. I'm melting stuff during the reduction cycle on my cricket that I don't think I should be melting.
