I'm honestly overwhelmed with everyone that has sent me an email to let me know how much they like the tutorial - thank you SOOOOO much!! I'm so happy to hear this!

A couple of notes that might be of interest if you are wondering if you can make these beads on your setup:

These beads have been made on a wide variety of setups - a Betta with one 5LPM, a Lynx with two 5LPMs, a Lynx on tanks, a Cheetah on tanks and a Cheetah on a OG20..

Another thing is glass colors - because I worked on an order basis, I didn't want to get in a situation where I needed 100 different glass colors in stock all the time to fill the orders. I think you will be happy to see that there isn't a HUGE amount of glass you need to buy - certain colors are used throughout and incorporated with other colors for different results.

I focused my business on beads made on order for the past .. I don't know for how long.. too long? LOL.. so the main thing for me was to be able to create recipes that I could recreate. Your results should come out just like the pictures. There might be some learning on controlling the flame and knowing whether you are working the beads too hot or too cold.. but in general, the results are consistent.

I never did sell all my glass equipment... it seems it's not the right time economically and I wasn't willing to sell it as low as it appeared I would have to.. so I still have everything here in my studio. I'm going to try to get back into my jewelry work, but am going to play around with glass and maybe work some glass with silver again like I did a few years ago. In general, I just want to take a step back and play for a while again. Now that I have the Etsy store, I will probably list some one-of-a-kind glass pieces.

Again - thank you guys so much! I'm so glad you are enjoying the recipe book!!!

Glad you like it, Nancy! And "no".. not telling you who it came from. If anyone wants to get one as a Secret Santa gift, just PM me the recipient's email before purchasing and I'll be sure to send it off for you.

Wow what a great tutorial. Just received this one tonight and have made three bead sets. I had to substitute a color or two here or there, but I just love the results! Thanks Cat for writing such a wonderful book!

Thanks so much! I'm glad to hear that you like it!

I think I'm probably going to be selling my boro here pretty shortly... if I can get some weights on all of this, I'll probably be listing it in the garage in the next 24 hours now that I have some free time. So lots of the colors used in the tutorial will be up for sale cheap.

Oh if you could make variety sets that would be sooooooooooo cool! Just getting 1/4 lb of the colors I need was going to be well over $300. I'll be stalking the garage!

I had someone email and say they were soldout. I think my link at the beginning of this thread was to the actual first listing. So I've put a link to my Etsy store in my sig line. I just added some more tutorials, so they are available again.
