Free Batik Flower Bead Recipes
I have edited this with updated information.
I have 30 recipes on my website for free plus 5 for 96 COE!
I also expanded my 104 recipes that are for sale from 20 to 50! Low price of $22.00
I have been working for 6 months on testing different reactive colors. I choose to make the same bead in a flower batik look for comparison. I made a few hundred beads sweating my butt off in the 100 degree heat and braving the cold this winter in my studio. Some of the things I tried didn't turn out so well, but I learned a lot from my experiments.
I set out on this project to make myself a reference guide that I could look at to give me ideas when I am sitting at the torch those days when no ideas are coming to me. I didn't expect it to take so long or that I would be making nothing but these beads for 6 months. I was determined to finish it and get it out of my system.
In the beginning, I put together two free recipe tutorials containing 5 of the different colors I tried. One is for 104 glass and one is for 96 glass. I have since replaced them with the free one containing 30 of the bead recipes that I didn't put into my tutorial that is for sale.
Some of these are well know color combo's and others are with 96 transparents. This really gave me a chance to test some of the 96 glass I had in combination with the 104 glass as a base.
The original recipes that I sold included 20 recipes. If you had bought the 20 recipe ones in the past, I will be sending the updated 50 recipe one to you for free.
The free recipes are here: 104 Reactive Color Recipes
The ones for sale are here: 104 Reactive Color Recipes for Sale

Anne's tutorial shows how to make the flowers and a few colors for the beads in the tutorial. I am not showing how to make flowers or stringers or a bead at all. It is only a recipe book of the different colors so that you can see the reaction of the colors. You can use the color combinations in any kind of bead. It is for reference really. I made this for myself I just thought others would like the same kind of reference to refer to when they are trying to figure out what to make.
I will put more free ones on my site when I get done with the next batch. I have about 30 more color combos to process. I laminated the quick reference to use at the torch, but I have decided to just include it in the tutorial for sale as a pdf without sending a laminated copy.
You can get just the reference guide on my etsy site for $5.00 or the whole thing for $15.00.

For one, Anne's tutorial described how she made a particular set of beads that she called batik beads. Deb's tutorial is a color recipe book featuring reactive color combos that work together to create a similar effect. I think your work is fabulous and I appreciate you sharing your discoveries, Deb!

Debra, thank you for a lovely revisit to the distant past of lamp working. You have documented so many reactions for us! A lot has happened in the glass world since I started making beads, and this wonderful information seems to have gotten lost in the surge to do so much with silver glass.
It never hurts to hone the old skills and refresh knowledge when it comes to the innumerable wonders of glass! You did a great job, and I love the names you gave the reactions!

Sue you are funny! No talent required. Just trying to document stuff as xiola blue said. Still trying to figure out if it was a complement or not! I did this for myself and thought I would share.
I don't usually put things up for sale because I have a stressful job and I create beads for fun and to relax. Selling takes all the fun out of it for me but my family and friends talked me into it because I had been working on it for about 4 hours a day for a couple of weeks.
There have been list of reactive colors around for awhile. I even tried some of the not so popular ones I found on the list and didn't get anything. Maybe I didn't have the right combination. This is the problem with the list. I wanted something that actually showed which colors worked together and how to layer them.
I actually got some beautiful results form things I would of never tried. I also got a whole lot of really ugly results! I found that it really depends on how you layer the glass.
Yesterday I made 15 beads and only 4 came out ok. Some looked good in the flame but ugly when cold.
Since I am getting old I really wanted something to look at to remind me what colors worked together.
Most of the recipes are simple 2 to 3 color combinations. I really was trying to keep it simple. I might try more complex color combinations. It depends on if I get burnt out on doing this or not.
The reason for the flowers is because I love daisies. That is all.
