Well this is the coolest thread ever!!!! I have been jumping around on here and am now going to go read this in the right order, WAY COOL you guys!!!!

lol I have read the last page lol

I have been working on some short and cheap lol tutorials on different beads that can be made with different canes and twisty, like one type of cane and then 4 or 5 (or more) different ways to apply it. (Was lacking in the cookbook lol) Nothing longer then about 20-30 pages PDF. With lots of photos and none more then 10-15$, I was planning to get a bunch done then put them all on Etsy at once,
Would it be better to put them up as I go???? I was going to get them all done by Christmas is that soon enough???

Sorry if my photos are a little big I still have not got it down on how to fix that lol

The cane

The pattern

In a bead

You need EDP (the darker color in the photo)
Transparent Medium purple
Intense black
Clear or super clear

Maybe a dumb question but is the main color, EDP, in a paddle shape ? I'm not sure I understand the photo.

sra-p96 · #**154** 2012-08-30, 10:16am

Busted

I forgot to say that Yes. the Core color or paddle shape is the EDP and the other colors are put on around it....

Wow, thank you for explanation. I like the effect of the intense black.

thank you so much for posting that! it looks just like the Zanfircio cane that is so damned expensive, but that little sketch you posted makes it easy make a cane!
kudos!

I like to use for big dots on a base of black or on Tangerine Sparkle.

I use Kimberly Afflack's seahorse twiste tutorial so it makes super fine lines of color.

Another combo I really like is a base of OY, Big stripe of copper green, big stripe of EDP, small stripe of transparent Rootbeer to Dark Amber, another of transparent Emerald Green or Teal, and maybe another stripe of Coral.
Again using Kim's twist tutorial.
Looks great on EDP or Dark Violet or New Violet. If you press it so it chills the colors

I'm off to try Mary's technique. Thanks Mary!

I deleted my previous post, realized Kimberly removed the tutorial but hasn't added it to her website yet. Here is a copy of the tutorial still up on Corina's website:

Thanks Tish!

Also the mandrel I got somewhere has flat discs on the bottom and that has helped me a lot with building cane. I hope she still makes them. If anyone is curious just let me.

Noodlesaurus makes the twistie holders. They work great because they hold the heat so well.

28676bhe · #**164** 2013-03-22, 2:06pm

Bump, bump, bump - any new ideas out there?

sra-p96 · #**165** 2013-03-26, 8:13am

I have been playing with gold stone I will try to set some pics today and post soon

The blog is gone?

so many cool inspirations there.

Speaking of, any new posts to share? I'm in a slump and feel like doing twisties, which I sat there last night wasting glass trying to find new ideas

allicat · #**167** 2013-07-26, 5:54pm

You can find the Seraphim Flamework posts on the wayback machine; just go to the oldest one they crawled.

i heard in some tut that if the twisty is more the size of a glass rod (cane??) that you should anneal it just like a bead before you use it. it is really annoying when you loose some of the carefully made twisty to the desktop in small shards.

ElementalsDesign · #**169** 2013-09-07, 5:58pm

Way back machine? Curious if anyone could tell me more about this... (am somewhat internet impaired ;}.

allicat · #**170** 2013-09-07, 6:56pm

You can find the Wayback Machine here: http://archive.org/web/web.php . It crawls the internet to archive all the websites it can get to.

To use it, put the URL into the empty space that has http:// in it. If you are copying and pasting a website, be sure you don't have 2 http://! Just one. Then click on "Take Me Back"

Once you do, you'll see a calendar, with the months and days on the bottom, years near the top. The years with the black lines (this will make sense when you see it) are the ones the Wayback Machine has archived. Pick one, and it will take you to that year's calendar. The days hilighted in blue are the ones that have been archived. Click on any blue day and it will take you to the site as it was on that date. If you can't find what you're looking for on that date, try an earlier or later one.

And this works for ALL websites that have been Archived by the Wayback Machine - most have, but not all. Hope this made sense.

Have fun!

I have heard folks mention it a few times here and never thought to ask about it before.
What an utterly cool thing...
Thank you so much Alli!

28676bhe · #**172** 2013-09-07, 11:08pm

Alli, can you post a direct link to the blogspot?

De Anza Art Glass Club · #**173** 2013-09-07, 11:33pm

Hope this is OK (better to ask forgiveness than permission?). I combined everything in a table for easier reference. Link is to a PDF chart. In another thread, I had a request for a text file. I can add a CSV file converted to a text file, if anyone wants that. The entries are in the order of the thread, with the contributor to make finding the full sized post easy to find.

I haven't progressed to making twisties or combination stringers, so I may be confused and corrections are welcome.

allicat · #**174** 2013-09-07, 11:44pm

Sure Barbara: http://web.archive.org/web/201112241....blogspot.com/

Some, but not all, the links on the right work.

And Thanx Rachel

Thanx DeAnza!

DeAnza, I love it! I unofficial lay put you in charge of doing more of these, please!

Deb · #**176** 2013-09-09, 10:55am

Wow, great chart!

Deb · #**177** 2013-09-09, 10:58am

This is Fabulous!

*grins* I love the Wayback Machine; really the entire site (Internet Archive) is absolutely amazing. The Gutenburg Project in in there, as well as the Moving Image Archive (from classic cartoons to the historical movies to feature films), the other archives are just as extensive. Very easy to get lost in it.
