Pendant book available for pre-order next week...

[Cosmo]

We are finishing up my pendant book now. They will be available for pre-order next week. We just have to finalize the number of pages and then they will be available.

If anyone is interested, sign up for my newsletter at http://www.cosmoglassworks.com/newsletter.html

I will announce the pre-order there first (or you can take your chances and just keep checking my site :D). The pre-order will be limited to 50 copies. The book will be available for sale at the regular price once the book starts shipping. Looking at mid-August for them to start shipping.

I can't wait til this one is released. I just ordered one of your other books this morning.

Would you mind sharing what some of the pendants are that made the final cut?

We're still trying to decide, actually. I'm doing both a basic and an advanced book. The basic book is coming out first, with the advanced to follow in a couple months. We aren't sure which to put in which yet. Obviously we have a good idea for most of them, but there are a couple we're still on the fence about.

I'll post more info early next week...

Thanks, Cosmo.

I've done a lot of the designs in soft glass as well. I don't specifically cover soft glass in the book though. But, anyone familiar with soft glass should be able to do the techniques in soft glass as well. The only suggestion I'd add is to use a clear that is pretty stiff, and use larger diameter rods if you can find them.

Any update on the tutorial, Chad?

[Cosmo]

It's done and will be going out Monday. I wanted to get them out this past week, but my father has been in the hospital since last Sunday, so I have been spending a lot of time up there.

[gubnavnania]

Sorry to hear about your Dad, Chad. I didn't know or I won't ask re tutorial :(

I hope he's okay now.

Just received my digital copy this morning. Thanks Chad. This is a great book. Very clear instructions and explanations and a really good intro to the tools and methods.
