Default Murrini Tutorial????

Hi all,

I did a "tutorial search" and found one by Ryan. Has anyone used it....and can anyone recommend any particular book or tutorial for making murrini?

Thanks in advance!

I have one here:

At the bottom of that page are links to a few others, including Mary Lockwood's.

Here's a link to Corinna's free murrini tutorial:

http://www.corinabeads.com/pages/minimurrini.php

I think this one is excellent. I was able to make good murrini the first time I tried it!

Good luck!

Definitely an amazing tutorial, but it's a bit more than I wanted... : - (

Ryan really is SOMETHING ELSE!!!! Pretty impressive.

It's really for someone that wants to go the the "next level" though...I'm not quite ready for that, but when I do get ready...I'll have his tut! : - )))))

I have had problems making murini until I got Bead Fairy's Space Murini tutorial....she recomends using a special graphite mold..... that is fantastic! I had been using other molds that are deep and get narrow. I bought the one she recommended yesterday. Today...success! It makes it super easy. Karen
