It's coming: Make Silver Glass Sing!

[Troll Lover]

My friend and I are in the middle of creating an E-tutorial on (reducing) silver glass beads! In it, I will teach you how to make a Psyche Crunchie:

And I will tell and show how you can keep the shine under encasement and I will show you how to use these colors as well:
- Triton, Gaia, Aion, Kronos, Aurae and Black Pearl

Looking at it now, hopefully it will be ready within 2 weeks and the price will be appr. $20,- !

[edit]In the process of creating this tutorial, we made some slight adjustments!

To keep the price nice, I decided to focus on 4 silverglasses:
- Psyche (crunchie)
- Triton
- Black Pearl
- Aurae

3 different bead designs! I will show you the magic of silver glass and something sparkly ;)! And I will show you what happens when you encase reducing silver glass. And to top that: how to make silver glass murrini look yummy ;)! And the beads that will be shown are:

Psyche Crunchie:

I hope this makes everyone eager to get it now ;). With a bit of luck, it will be finished next week!

Great news Anouk!

I always love your beads, they are so pretty! :)

[Troll Lover]

Thanks everyone :)! The pics are already made about 2 weeks ago, right now I'm busy writing everything (and doing it in English, so I'm hoping it will be good enough lol).

[barbaracollins]

Me too, me too, me too~~~:rolleyes:

[tracidawn78]

Anouk - would you recommend this for hothead users?

[Celtic Echo Designs]

Oh this is AWESOME news! I'm so excited!

[Troll Lover]

Anouk - would you recommend this for hothead users?

All colors used in this tutorial can be used on a hothead, there is no striking needed, only reducing!

[Donna T.]

2 weeks??
I can't wait 2 weeks!! Hurry!!

I've always admired your beads. So glad you're doing a tutorial. Definately count me in!

[Troll Lover]

Thank you all for the support! We are trying our best to finish it asap ;) :D!

[simvet02]

Stalking this thread for an announcement. Are you going to post it here or start a new thread?

[Dragonfly Queen]

me too. Is it done yet?

[theglasszone]

me too. Is it done yet?

Me three!!! I see near the very end of February, Anouk was guessing about 2 more weeks (I'm patient)...so I'm figuring Mid-March? After seeing her posting of Cassis in the current thread on TAG (Post #17, here: http://www.lampworketc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=123421), I'm just going to hush and wait (and save my $)!!! Oh, if I can make beads even half this lovely, it will be glorious...so many colors I'm looking forward to finally working for me - for once!!!

Keep up the wonderful work, Anouk! We're rooting for 'ya!!!

PS - If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know :love:

[Hels]

Heck, I don't own a single stick of soft silvered glass and I'm tempted by this tut! LOL!

[Troll Lover]

LOL ladies, you make me smile big time! I will start a new thread when it's finished BUT I'll send all the peeps in this thread a pm, so don't worry, you won't miss it ;).

We're still in progress, it will take at least one more week. I'm trying to be patient as well ;) lol.

[debkauz]

I had to laugh when I read your title. I read it as "Making Silver Glass Scream." That's what I seem to do to it so I'll look forward to your tutorial. LOL

[Troll Lover]

LOL Deb :lol:! That's actually not a bad title either :mrgreen:.

[Carolien]

Maybe "Scream at you Silver Glass" would be a good title... :fnwl:

[Hels]

I scream at silver glass all the time... boro silver... but still...

[daisydog7]

I can hardly wait!!!! Hurry.... I've got some aurae ready to go!

[Troll Lover]

LOL Hels, I can actually see you screaming now lol. Maybe you should try to whisper, I can imagine it prefers that ;) :D.

[Hels]

hehe Anouk:).

[kitkat]

I have a "cussin and fussin" jar in my workshop. Every time I cuss or fuss at my torch ...I put coin in the jar. When I play with my silver glass - the jar gets alot of change!!! LOL...this also is a great way to support my glass habit. Anouk, please sign me up for the tutorial. I can't seem to get silver glass to do anything whether it is sing, yell, scream...it just laughs at me.

That's actually a great idea Kat! I only curse or swear when I burn my fingers or hand, or grab the wrong end of the rod, or stick a hot stringer in my mouth, or... Okay, I'll stop now :lol:.

[kitkat]

I can't speak for Karrina but any or all of your twisty's that you want to describe would be great addition!!!!!!! I'm counting my change from my cuss and fuss jar as we speak Anouk...lol.

I'm a newbie and don't want to waste my silver glass!!

[Troll Lover]

We're almost there! I finished all the text fort his tut, so now my friend can work on the lay-out. It will be finished this week!!! Yay! :D

[Carmen Isaacs]

Yay I can't take this waiting any more lol.

[Elizabeth Beads]

Sign me up too. :)

I was so excited that I got striking glass to strike last night. I'm honestly wondering if it was the change in the weather (from cold to warm and damp), because I didn't do anything special that I hadn't done before. And there it was, blooming into blues and greens and violets. Can't wait to get home and try it and see if the magic happens again.

:)

[PeggyRose]

Hi Anouk,

Please add me to your huge list of those you are PMing. I have a lot of silver glass, I just don't do justice to and I am really hoping you can help make me feel like I didn't waste a lot of money on this stuff.

Thanks and tail wags,
Peggy
