Wonderful! Just love the little froggy "butt"! I like the way you hold the mandrel up so we can see what you've done as you go along. Your technique is so different than the way I've been trying to do it. I've been putting the feet on first and then the body. I have trouble keeping it all warm and the feet keep popping off!
Very nice video!

LOL! Yes David technically my studio is in my closet, which is also my sons bedroom! Poor kid has no privacy! My bedroom is in the loft and just off that is the "closet" it's about 14 feet by 24 feet and it has a rod that holds clothes that runs about half of it. It's kind of a strange house that really only has one bedroom. I will see if I can get a pic to post it.

i thought your video was very interesting. some of us don't have chances to go to classes and this is a good way for me to actually see someone almost in person. i learn so much better watching then reading. the pictures were a little blurry but i could still get something out of watching. i would love to see you work on the base bead with the flowers or making the stringer you decorated the base bead with.
thanks

Thanks guys!
Karen, maybe in the future I will do another video making the floral bead and the vine cane. The video thing is still a little new to me but I will keep trying.
CC2, sorry you didnt like the music, I rather enjoy it.

You've "found" that lovin' feeling...
Samantha:
We'd LOVE YOU TO DO THE "BASE BEAD" VIDEO!!! And I say "You're doing us this great service by sharing", so play whatever the Hell you like!!! Isn't that what the "Volume" and "Mute" buttons are for! (Giggle!)
It's actually been forever since I heard that song...still cool, in my book!

Thank you for posting this!! I could have never sat quietly and made the bead with the music playing... you must be very strong to resist singing!! I would have been singing away... in fact, I was as I watched the clip!!! Cute little froggy!!!

Very cool, thanks so much for taking the time to do it. I'll have to try that way, after I dig out of this snow. LOL! My frogs need work... if they ever turn out half as cute as yours I'd be thrilled!!
Thanks again!

Great demonstration! I like the music, must be an age thing. Beautiful floral bead, too. You've really perfected both. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks everyone for taking the time to look at my video and comment, I do appreciate it! Before I moved here to AL I used to watch TV in my studio while making beads, I dont have a TV in my "closet" yet so I am forced to listen to the radio, and yes normally I sing when I am making beads LOL! I had to refrain during the video...believe me when I say you would want to hear me belting out "you've lost that loving feeling" LOL!!!
I hope I can do more videos in the future, I will post them here if I do =)

And a star is born........a cute little froggie! Thanks so much for doing this video. I'm "financially challenged" and can't take advantage of the wonderful classes that are available and these videos are the next best thing.
(Also enjoyed the music!)
Thanks,
Jeanie

That is a great tutorial Samantha! I enjoyed the music as I'm sure you do while making your adorable little frogs! Thanks for sharing! Oh, and the "blue" in that suit/dress hanging in your closet is very pretty. Do they make that in glass!

That was awsome. Loved the tunes too. I don't know if my memory will serve me well, but I think I'll attempt to try this You all should see me when I am at the torch. I got my IPOD hooked up and my hub is usually in the garage with me tinkering around while I torch and he has his radio on in the garage and I have my IPOD going and I sing what I hear and it drives him BZERK! lol. - and I know 100% that my singing voice sucks TERRIBLY LOL. He said he is so sorry he got me that for Christmas LOL. I told him that was the best gift he has EVER gotten me. I use it ALL the time

Great Tut on making a frog! What size rods do you use? I started making frogs from Corina's book, and like others said, the feet snap off. Good to see other ways of making frogs. I use different size stringers but your's looked like 7-8mm's. That takes alot of control to use large rods.
Yes please make the floral bead tut!

Thanks Sandy and Teena!
Teena, I am using regular sized rods for the hiney and head and regular sized stringer for the legs. I hate to pull stringer, even though I do all the time. I find it more difficult to work smaller then I do larger, but everyone is different.
I will try and do a floral tut...but I gotta tell ya, mine arent that great.
