A year in the making. I have been working on perfecting this bead for a year. Several months to write. And it's finally here! My 12 page lattice bead tutorial for the intermeadiate to advanced lampworker. A 100% hollow bead held together only by stringers! It is sturdy and very unique.
Using softglass and your "normal" tools. The only thing you may have to buy is kiln wash if you don't have any. (Alumina Hydrate is also optional if you want to add it to the kiln wash but not necessary)
You will also need one more very inexpensive item that is avail at any home improvement or hardware store.
NOT image heavy. Many hand drawn diagrams are scanned in so I can show you exactly what I am talking about in a sketch.
I really wanted everyone who likes tutorials to have this so it is priced at only $15. These beads take about an hour each to make but they sell very well because they are lightweight, and very different. The transparent ones sparkle in the sun drawing attention. The last page of the turorial has some tips and tricks to give you some ideas.
Tried and tested by someone who had never seen me work on a bead like this and they followed the directions just fine. Send me a PM with any questions. If you would like to try something very different than what you have been making Paypal is
