OK, so I can't see the pictures- can anyone else? I wanted to just send them from my computer, but was only given the option of getting them off the web, so I put them on flickr. Now they don't seem to be here.

Thanks squid- I'm never sure if it's just my computer.

Ok, has anyone gone to look at the tut? Looks like folks are opening this thread, but I don't know what anyone thinks! Is it ok to put the pics here, and then lead you somewhere else? Just didn't want to redo the whole thing.

Last time I checked the tut I couldn't see any pictures. They're there now, and it makes all the difference for me. Very good tut, so I'm printing it and will try making some when we come back from vacation. Thanks for sharing it!

I printed out the instructions and ordered the new book as well.
Your beads are beautiful, the instructions are clear.

Thanks to all of you for your comments. Glad it made good sense. Storm, it is very organic- that seems to be what I'm always drawn to. It's not that I can't do those nicely placed dots, it's just not really my thang. Most of the inspiration for my work comes from pictures of the natural world. I love to try and imitate things like fish skin, water, and earth formations.

Oh, I forgot, you can also make more than one disk on the same bead and cut it- that's what I did on the second bead pictured here. And you can make vertical lines, build them up and cut them, or even wrap the beads in a spiral of different colors and cut that randomly. I also love to add that little bit of random frit, or randomly placed dots at the top of it all before melting. You never know quite what they will look like, which I love.

I took a class from Laurie in Little Rock and these beads are so fun to make!
Here's a couple of old pics of Lentils I did after I got back from the class (Boro) --
Hi Laurie -- where are you teaching now that Chameleon is closed?

The only place I have to teach now is at home! Those look like folded beads, yes? I love the stripey background.

Yes they were folded I believe! Sorry to hijack the thread, but they do have some similarities.

Thank you for the tute Laurie! I am going to try this technique as soon as I get over this very nasty cold. I really like the effect Lana's striped bead got. How did she do that? Thanks for sharing this!

Laurie will probably pop in here -- but this is how she showed me -- after you add the disc to your base bead, you will heat a fourth of the disc on one side and push it towards the base bead to the right with your pick. Then move to the next fourth of the disc and push it towards the left side, alternating till you have your disc pressed towards the ends in an alternating fashion, right, left, right, left. Keep melting and pressing till each side is pressed down on the base. Then you can melt in the entire thing. The shapes on the bead result from winding a few different colored rings on the disc.
Hope this is clear as mud. . .
If you meant the plain striped one, I just used Momka's silver Aqua striped cane (boro) and wound it around the base of clear and pressed into a lentil press. I'm sure it would work with any striped but not twisted cane in soft glass.

Thank you Lana! I meant the stripes on the bead. I REALLY like the way the even little stripes poke out from the folded part. Maybe I'll try pulling a striped (not twisted) cane out of 104. I've never tried it but it looks cool
