These days I have been making progress (slowly but surely) on a new tutorial. Several people have asked over the last few months if I would put out tutorial on raised flowers. I did have a very simple set of instructions up on my website for awhile, but I knew those weren't in depth enough and didn't answer everyone's questions. So I pulled that down and reworded it - adding much more information and lots of action pictures. I am also expanding it a bit to add in some info on alternative designs and possibly some stuff on color.
It's about halfway done now, so I am hoping to speed it along to the finish line really soon.
It's been a tough few months for me lately, so that's why I have been working so slowly on this and why I have been so quiet. There's a good possibility I will be taking an extended break from making and selling beads, but we'll have to see how that turns out soon. For now, I am hoping to have this tutorial available for purchase on Coloraddiction within a week or two.
(((((hugs))))) to all! :)

Your work is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear that u are having a tough time. Good luck with everything. Take care.
ReplyDeleteit's an amazing look, and must be a long process. I just know I like it, but would never attempt it myself. At least, not in this lifetime!
ReplyDeleteReally wish you the best through this tough time for you. I absolutely idolize you're work and am going on a beginning course on lampworking this weekend. can't wait for you're new tutorial!!! All the best, Vicki
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you are having a tough time...but for me, tough times help to remind me to appreciate the better time even more. Lately, I have just been looking at my beads more than I have been making jewelry...but it doesn't matter how bad it gets because I just have to look at your lampwork art and it makes my Heart Smile big! I have 2 of your sets: Lavender Rain & Karla's Garden...and I just love them both! :-)
ReplyDeleteStunning - those are absolutely, positively stunning. I love them - they may well be the prettiest beads I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteIt would be such a shame if you had to stop making beads and writing tutorials, you are so gifted.
ReplyDeleteDid you make them if so you are very creative they look great and you have a real talent.
ReplyDeleteKandice - Hope you feel better soon. Feel like a drink or dinner or lunch, call me neighboor. I have to tell you, I LOVE your 5 petal flowers. Of course, you know I love all your beads, but I don't think I had seen the 5 petal flowers before. Very cool.
