Default Aloha Chrysanthemum Beads Tutorial

I had so many requests for writing a Tutorial, so here it is my first E-Book:
" Aloha Chrysanthemum Beads".

This tutorial describes how to make Aloha Chrysanthemum Beads!

I also describe the colors I used for making the Aloha beads, and I let you see how to make a Feather Focal with TAG silverglass.

This E-Book contents 24 pages and lot's off pictures ( 65).

It was quite a job but .... it was a fun experience and a challenge to create this tutorial. I sincerely hope that I succeeded in a clear and conchise explanation of the applied techniques.
By the way; I attached some overview and inspiration pages as appendices. You can make a print out and use them as memory aid.

Thanks for looking!

What exactly do you mean by a feather focal pendant with a big hole ?

I just made my first chrysanthemum bead after reading your tutorial and it's in the kiln.

I 'messed up' on the second layer of petals by using a base color that wasn't opaque enough, so it's really washed out, but I was very happy with the petals (shape and color) in the other layers and the roundness of the finished bead. I can't wait until I can torch again to make more!

Thank you for the fantastic instructions, Caroline!

Good luck, with your next beads!

Okay, I finally got these in the photo tent. Please excuse the ones with yucky color combinations or washed-out colors. Still experimenting with what looks good, but I've got the technique down pretty well now I think.

These are so much fun... I have to make at least 1 new one each time I torch.

Same beads... 3 views:







Mini-set...

Ordered this tut, it arrived in my inbox super quick, and I made 10 chrysanthemum beads in the last few days! Clear and easy to understand directions plus many beautiful photos. This is my 3rd tutorial purchase in trying to make these kinds of beads, and it was the one that stuck! Thanks so much, Caroline!
