I just bought the tut and can't wait to start reading it over. I also bought some of the Olympia Rain from DH. But I have other DH colors I can use till I get the DH.
I'm a bit of a novice (only 1 yr. torching) so it will be interesting to see how well I'm able to comprehend it.
Thanks Amy!!!!

Just about any reduction glass can be stormed. In the tutorial I had to select just a few or I would have gone on for another 15 pages.  I used Aurae, Triton, Psyche, Zeus, Golden Emerald and Taxco as well as Olympia Rain. There is a resource section on the last page of the tutorial with all the glass used and where to purchase it.

Amy, the printed copy looks great and the colors are pretty vivid - I guess the printed copy results may depend upon each person's printer.
Thanks again for sharing your wonderful techniques and giving us such a well written and photographed tutorial!!!

OK, Amy, I sold some beads today, so I bought your tutorial. I've always been an admirer of your beads, and thanks for sharing how to make such lovely creations.

Such a simple technique for such lovely results!
Here's my first one (Aurae):
And here's the second one, howl of anquish, my propane ran out in the middle of it!
Amy, thanks again for sharing. Monday I'm going to spend the entire morning making storm beads and playing with different colors. Yum!!!

The bead I made today was better but still not good enough for the gallery. I need to get my bubbles to spread out bigger!
Beautiful beads, especially that first one, Betsy!
ETA: I know you weren't asking me to post my stuff in the gallery, LOL!

Well........last night's bead was shaped pretty good but I changed the kind of red I used and the colors look bad to me. I might take a pic of it and see what you think.

Holy Crap Amy, simply amazing!! I purchased your tut and within seconds "I had Mail" I have always admired your creations. Thank you so much for sharing this technique with us, the tutorial is fantastic with great pics, descriptions and color suggestions. I had to put down my sewing project to go out to my torch and give it a try!
Again, thanks so very much!

I got mine...just downloaded it after purchase. I've kind of glanced through it and it looks like even I can make these with some effort! Everything is (so far) very clear, even to my newbie brain!

I just bought the tut and it came through so quickly, thanks.
Spent my lunch time reading it and its all really clear and nicely laid out.
I am sure I will have no problem and thank you for sharing this technique.
I think its a great tut and I personally recommend it as good value.
Plus I had a couple of "oh and what if I tried that" moments so its got me thinking.

Amy,
I'm only half way through with reading this and I'm sooo excited! You did a wonderful job explaining things. Having written a tutorial myself, I know how hard you must have worked on this. Getting the pictures right is half the battle, and you did a great job with the all the photos. I can't tell you how happy I am that you decided to do this tutorial. It is worth every penny and more. Now I'm off to buy some hades.
(((Amy)))
