Default Just reposted old "Twisty"/ Tornado Bead Tutorial

Hi all,

After reading here that folks still wanted the "twisty" bead tutorial I wrote years ago (like 2004!), I reposted it to my website. You can either read it there, or download/ print a PDF copy for future use.

http://www.mzglass.com/twisty-tutorial



Enjoy!

You're welcome! Glad it will be useful!

I'm hoping to post more mini-tutorials in the coming months. I like doing little ones like these...

Happy Thanksgiving!

yes, thank you. Its been a while since I looked at that and last time I tried it (without looking back at the tutorial) things didn't turn out so great. I think I see where I went wrong now.

Thank you Margaret! The bead is beautiful, and I look forward to "trying" to make it myself. I don't have silver, but I will have to get creative another way. I checked out your Etsy shop, love, love your bug beads! I follow you on facebook, look forward to seeing your work, very inspirational.

Default I know this is an old thread but...

I just found this and being relatively new, I printed it and I just love it. I had these and wondered how they were made, now I know! Thanks Margaret!

I thought other NB's would like to see it too.
