27 pages, 60 images, 4.1mb file size, $15.00
I’ve been making wire critters for years and want to share one of my favorites. While the soldering may seem intimidating if you’ve never done it before, it really isn’t difficult at all. It is soft soldering: sort of a cross between soldering for stained glass and soldering for electronics. I’ll take you through step-by-step, so you’ll learn the process along the way. You’ll start out with a little bit of wire and a couple of beads and wind up with this little personality…often with an attitude that somehow just happens along. Mice are awesome little companions for bookshelves, desks and studios. Best of all, there’s no cleaning up after wire and glass pets! This tutorial is packed with instruction, photos, diagrams and resources. The instructions are intended for copper wire and lampwork beads.

The Creature by Pipyr
http://pipyr.etsy.com
http://www.pipyr.com/newsletter.html
46 pages, 87 images, 2.2mb, $20.00
A tutorial about how to make a creature from solid borosilicate glass rods (no tubing)! I have spent a lot of time on this, trying to make it as clear as possible so that anyone can make a creature. I wrote this tutorial with the assumption that many people using it will have never used borosilicate glass before. I have info about proper seals, color, clear sizes that I commonly use, etc. Then I go into how to make the creature with photos to highlight everything from beginning to end. You should have a torch with a decent oxygen supply to use this tutorial. It can be done on a minor with one oxygen concentrator with some adjustments that are noted in the tut, but it is painfully slow on a set-up like that. Ideally, you will be able to run a small torch at near full capacity.
