Button Flowers

[bgillen]

I've had alot of people request directions for making these flowers, so I made a tutorial to explain the steps.

The link takes you to my half-finished website. Please excuse the mess. If you can't view it, please let me know.

Good luck and post pictures.

I have one I thought I'd share but not sure if I make it the same/similar way or not. I'll wait for the pictures to reappear and go get a better picture of mine. (Except it may be in the better photos thread. If not I'll post it later.)

[boobiebeads]

Thanks for the great tut!!!

[Oldhippiechic]

Great tutorial...I made the flower buttons today...they came out really pretty good. I still consider myself a beginner- just learning a lot of technique, but these buttons are terrific. Can't wait to make more-improve a bit and experiment with colors and petal size etc.
Thanks so much for taking the time to show us how to do them.

[Rose Leslie]

I have been trying every which way to do these flowers. Thank you so much. That is really great.

[Rose Leslie]

I made a couple simple flowers just to see if I could do it. Here they are.

[angie]

The link doesnt work:(

[FancyPants]

It isn't working for me either.:(

[Rose Leslie]

Or me! I wish I could see it.

[pierces*designs]

Brenda has been undergoing treatment for lung cancer. I am sure keeping her website up has been a low priority.

Has anyone heard from Brenda?

[Roseanne]

ShawnT/Mod & her are friends, maybe she has an update?

[kdingo]

Hope all is well with everyone and things get back to normal soon. Life's no fun when you aren't feeling good. Here's wishing you a speedy recovery.
Karen :wave:

P.S. Did anyone save the tutorial on their computer and be willing to share as I can't get into it either?

I were going to say, that I couldn't get the link to work. It really doesn't seem important now.

I hope everything's going the right way for her.

[fourpawsglass]

Has this tutorial moved or is it no longer available? I am unable to access it.

[fyrebeadz*]

I was just checking this link too and it takes me here:

bluejakes.com

In any case, what is important is that we all wish Branda God speed for a quick recovery and much good health!

This thread is a couple years old. Since it was posted, Brenda has had to battle cancer. She has a new website devoted to cancer awareness. http://www.cafepress.com/chemorules I don't know if she has resumed lampworking.

[theglasszone]

Oh, Char!

Thanks for letting us know...I'm so sorry she's had to deal with such a difficult disease :( I'm saying a prayer for her right now!!!

That's the coolest website EVER!!! My "sister" beated cancer in her brain a few years ago.

H,
I figure that after 3 years the tut is not be at the bluejakes website anymore. I'd love to see the instructions for these flowers. Can you send them to me via email?
Thanks so much,
Carla

[cbiaso]

I'm so sorry to hear of Brenda's sickness. I will keep her in my prayers. If someone has copied the tut, would you mind posting it again?
Thanks and God be with you Brenda.

If you want to know what's up with this, send her a message. She was on the forum 2 days ago. Probably doesn't even come to this thread since it is soooo old....
