The Making of Flower Murrini - Tonbodama Style
 
Almost 60% of this E-book is done. So I thought it would be time to announce it.

I got many request from lampworkers and fellow murrini makers. If I would consider writing an E-book on my Sakura flower murrini. Some of you already knew i was in the middle of writing.

So here I am again, on a new writing journey

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4119/...b2b9f6f3_o.jpg

What to expect from this E-book:

* How to think in flower murrini
* How to make all your flower parts
* Assembling all flower parts
* Trouble shooting
* Pulling the actual cane
* Why to pre-pull points
* How to apply flower murrini

Of Course i will devote a part on Tools to use, things to keep in mind etc.

In the end you will know how to make my Sakura Flowers and how to make a Waterflower.

Thanks

Pat 2010-08-01 8:51am

I bought some of her sakura flowers and don't know how to apply them.

Hi Pat,

Did you not receive a bookmark card with instructions?
Cause that should have been in your order.

This is the info on the card:

Flower murrini instructions

1: Spot heat where the murrini should go.
2: Flash the murrini in the flame, push the murrini in.
3: Heat a blob of clear on and put it on top of the murrini to prevent imploding.
4: Heat the clear and gently push it down a little.
5: Ad another blob of clear on top. Melt it in, now use a round pusher and push it down directly in the centre. If it is of centered 1 part of the petals will get smaller while the other part get pushed out.
The round pusher opens the flower.
6: Heat the murrini and gently paddle down.
7: Encase your bead as desired.

Congrats you have applied your first flower.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Pat 2010-08-01 8:26pm

If I did I misplaced it. Thanks for the instructions.

chrissy 2010-08-02 12:04am

Your welcome Pat, if you still need help just send me a PM or e-mail.

I'm subscribing to this thread so I know when it's finished. The flowers are gorgeous!

Beadbug 2010-08-03 6:35am

I would love to pre order this :)

chrissy 2010-08-03 7:23am

Thank you, i will mention it in here when it is done.
If you would like to pre-order that would be an option.

But i would hate it that you would have to wait till it is ready.So i am not sure about the whole pre-order part.

Let me know what you think

simvet02 2010-08-03 1:18pm

I'm subscribing too, looks like something I might want to try....again.

Firebug 2010-08-03 3:47pm

How wow Chrissy, this looks great! Thanks so much for doing this!

Cheers
Kathy

Beadbug 2010-08-03 7:48pm

To me pre-ordering means that some time down the road I will get such a nice surprise in my email besides bills n such :)

simvet02 2010-08-03 8:00pm

I'd be happy to pre-order. We could be your quality checkers...LOL

I agree! I wouldn't mind pre-ordering either!

Cheers
Kathy

chrissy 2010-08-04 3:23am

OK, you all have convinced me.

I will go and set-up a pre-order page and when it is done i will post in here.

I think i should give away some free flower murrini for all pre-orders.... don't you agree?

gemsinbloom 2010-08-04 3:43am

Uh huh, hehe!

Beadbug 2010-08-04 6:10am

:) I always love a good bonus.

bastetsbeads 2010-08-04 7:15am

I'm looking forward to it. I haven't had any lessons on murrini in a long time!

chrissy 2010-08-04 7:41am

OK.
So I caved in, and I am going to offer a pre-order on this new E-book to be.
BUT……..
To make up the waiting time, although it is your own choice to pre-order, all pre-orders will receive a minimum of 6 murrini’s in the style explained in the E-book. So it will be a minimum of 3 Sakura flowers and 3 water Flowers.

The price of this new E-book will be $ 25,-

The Banner below will forward you to the pre-order page.

Thank you all for yoru support!

bshelle 2010-08-04 10:31am

I never do this with tutorials, but this one looks really great so I went ahead and pre-ordered. Thank you!

chrissy 2010-08-04 11:13am

Thank you so much for all the pre-orders.

Just a little note for all who are wondering.

This E-book is made with coe 104 glass. You do not need to have Satake glass to be able and make flower murrini.

Parrotise 2010-08-04 11:39am

Just pre-ordered mine! Looking forward to it!

killerbeedz1 2010-08-04 11:56am
