Boro bead books for a beginner

[burntfingers]

I'm interested in dabbling in boro ... I've never used it before, but I'm wondering what books you would recommend to a beginner that has never ever played with boro.

I don't know about books but you might want to consider going to www.technicalvideorental.com

If you click on Arts and Crafts, then click on Glass, you'll end up with a list of video/dvds to rent. I noticed that they have several that sound interesting in terms of boro.

I rented two dvds from them last week and it was great. The dvds were in stock so it only took 3 days for them to get to Oregon from the east coast and I had them for a week then put them in their self-addressed, stamped envelope and sent them back. $9.99 each turned out to be a good way to do it because, although I learned a couple things by watching the dvds, I also learned that I would have been very disappointed had I spent $75-80 to buy the two I rented.

Anyway, I think seeing is easier than reading about it and it might help you narrow the field if you decided you want to buy one.

I also found the book by Lori Robbins and Ron jr and Rocio Bearer was really helpful! You might consider that one.. You can find it on Loris website..www.lorirobbins.com.

The accompanying recipe book is pretty handy, too.
