Nice Tutorials! Thoughtful of you to translate! Must have taken you a ton of time!

Lisa St. Martin told me that there are lampworkers in Russia, but possibly no tuts in the native tongue. (Do you know of any? Did You do some?) One of her students, Reghina Allen, who lives here in the States translated a gold fuming video tutorial for us. I LOVE the way it sounds in Russian. I re-edited it and changed the music just to go better with the rhythm and melody of the language.

So in case you want to watch what might be the only Russian video tut, it's free at www.fireladyproductions.com under Movies. Actual link is: http://www.fireladyproductions.com/S..._RUSSIAN!.html

Just thought you might have fun with it. Please do share it with your Russian speaking friends....that's who we made it for, but we have no knowledge of who they are or how to contact them. We plan on translating the entire DVD, "All That Glitters", this year.

I just think the Russian sounds so....exotic.....I love it!

Very Nice...thank you for taking the time .. Scrappy

maya-honey · #19 2010-01-20, 11:06pm

Thanks Firelady! I know this tutorial but didn't know you translate it! WOW
I will post the link on our lampwork forum (I'm one of the moderators also). If you need any help with translation or anything - just let me know!

Beadanna · #20 2010-01-21, 7:44am

Thankyou Maya for doing this!
Firelady - your film tutorials are awesome - thanks for the link!

It's funny - watching Lisa making the bead in the gold fuming tut made me feel dizzy - just because she rotates the mandrel the opposite way than I'm used to.

blong2001 · #21 2010-01-21, 8:13am

Thanks for your hard work Maya!
The video is great Firelady!

Lisi · #22 2010-01-29, 10:17am

Very kind of you to share and I think your English is very good. It's a peculiar language and your writing is very clear and easy to understand.

Thanks!

thank you, maya-honey! That is so nice of you to do this for us newbies! That was a lot of work! I love the clover bead.

When I went to the link, the domain is expired. Is there any chance that this tutorial is available elsewhere?
I bought some silver leaf, and I'm trying to find "how to" posts to show me what to do with it.

ironmountainglass · #27 2011-01-14, 5:58am

her etsy is still up you may want to contact her via there and see if she can repost them.

Donna J · #28 2011-01-14, 7:25pm

So nice of you to post these tutorials~ you did a great job translating them to English. I like the silver foil/transparent glass tut- this is one of my favorite beads to make.

Good job~ thank you!

essiemessy · #29 2011-01-14, 8:16pm

Thank you. I've just bought some foil, and just love the effects. Can't wait to try them.
