Such an easy tutorial to read.....I am sure when i get to the torch tomorrow i will have fun making them.

can you tell me what enamel is made out of? is it ground up glass in powder form or is it something else?

sortaflower · #11 2008-08-22, 10:33pm

I just PM'd you some info on that Storm =^.^=

simvet02 · #12 2008-08-23, 6:23am

Got it, thanks so much, it looks great.

sortaflower · #15 2008-08-23, 9:46am

Great! I hope to see some wave bead pictures popping up here soon!

StOrM · #16 2008-08-23, 12:20pm

Thanks for the info Janelle. I still don't feel well enough to torch today (stupid sinus cold) I am dizzy today so i might have pictures in a few days.....I only have 1 enamel I got in a RAOGK it looks like a sea foam green color i am sure that will do just fine

at least to practice with.

sortaflower · #17 2008-08-23, 12:57pm

HI Storm, hope you get to feeling better! That enamel color sounds like it will be really pretty, can't wait to see how it comes out

StOrM · #18 2008-08-23, 1:20pm

I f i am doing better later today i will go and try some.....the only thing that will be different is i also don't have a press yet

I will just have to mash them flat

sortaflower · #19 2008-08-23, 1:30pm

that's ok

Dan started out making the Ocean Scenes on flat tab focals just using mashers, I am sure it will come out cool =^.^=

lwilson21 · #20 2008-08-23, 6:43pm

Okay, I just bought both of your tutorials. Can't wait to try them out.

Leah

lldesigns · #21 2008-08-23, 8:04pm

I bought it earlier and can't wait to see it! Speaking of which, please send it to my work email. My personal email can't handle big files. I sent you a convo about it.

sortaflower · #22 2008-08-23, 8:56pm

Thank you Leah

Laurie I just resent that, thanks for letting me know =^.^=

Tutti-frutti · #23 2008-09-04, 8:54pm

Since blues are my fave colors, I bought the tut too.
now I wait with baited breath , lol just kidding. It will come to those who wait.
Sorry but my job kept me up the last 26 hours, I must be sleep depraved, I might fall asleep soon.
