Well... some things just don't turn out the way you hope. I thought these colors were going to look so cool, but when I took them out of the kiln... Not quite what I'd hoped.

So, I thought I'd give them away (one per person). If you're not that fond of the colors, maybe you'd just like to have it for the sake of the technique.

Whoever PMs me first will get the focal, and then I'll give away the rest in order of which I think are the best (technique-wise). Just PM me your address (first 8 folks).

I'll post a pic of the beads below so you can decide if you'd like one.

Thanks again to everyone for your support with my tutorial - You'll never really know how much I've appreciated it!

Nancy got the focal! I'm surprised how fast you three PM'd. You did see the photo of the beads, right?

I'll mail them off to you in the next day or two!

Usually I never catch these things. But I was just getting ready to go to bed and thought I'd check LE one more time. When I looked at the time Amy posted I was shocked that it was only a couple of minutes before then so I sent her a PM right quick! Thanks so much Amy!

Yeah, that was fun! And I will purge more here I'm sure, as I'm figuring what does and does not do well with the petals.

Here's a tip that I've learned folks: Cool colors tend to look better than warm tones for whatever reason. I'm still trying to "crack that code".

Rats!!! 3 days late and one of Amy's Master Petals short!!! Thank you again for the tutorial Amy! - I have really been enjoying making the petals - I can sit for hours and make them as they are so relaxing........very Zen.... Here are some that I've made - I'm playing around with your technique in some as well - it is very versatile!!

Yeah, I got mine on Saturday and it is GORGEOUS!!!! I love it - thanks Amy. I do have one gripe - I can't keep my beads that small when I make them - they end up way way way way bigger.

What a great tutorial!
I panicked when I saw how old the first post was and was so very relieved when I found I could still purchase this tutorial.
I have to wait a while because I have one hand in a brace but I cannot believe how excited I am to try this technique.
I now understand how to do a bunch of things I've been picturing in my head for a while with which I am certain this tutorial will be a great deal of help!

Again.. thank you!

First off, I want to thank all of your nice compliments on those goofy beads I gave away. I was nervous that you all were going to be sorely disappointed when you opened the package - so thank you!

Secondly, I need your help! I just got a really interesting PM. Someone asked if this tutorial would work with boro glass - and I have no idea! I have zero experience with boro, so I was hoping maybe someone here who's had experience with both might be able to answer that.

Are the techniques applicable to boro (even though I only use soft effetre 104 in the tutorial)?

Thanks a bunch!!!
Amy

Sue.. even though I felt a little naughty I couldn't help myself. It was so reasonably priced I couldn't resist.
I blew the dust OUT of my PP account (actually sold something to do it) and raced for this tute and, I have to say, it is SO well done.
When you get it you won't regret it!
I'm still a bit of a newbie (with a wrist brace on so it may be a while, even still) but it was an absolutely inspiring read, so clear, great pics and wonderfully encouraging.

Awesome tutorial.
