Everything about Discs
After what felt like months and years, I finally finished my tutorial. This the blurb I used in my Etsy shop:
This is a 79 page PDF tutorial with 154 technical pictures showing you step by step how to make discs. I covered skinny discs, and included square and triangular shapes, chubby discs as well as a complete chapter on making a disc on a big hole mandrel, and show you in detail how I create my raked patterns.
My images and font are both large enough for you to see easily. This will make it easy for you to follow the tutorial from your monitor or iPad screen while you work on your torch.
Please note that I live in South Africa. I might be asleep when you purchase your tutorial. Please allow a couple of hours for the delivery of your tutorial. You are welcome to contact me @ dianaferreira@axxess.co.za should you have any queries. I also do offer a lifetime of support for this tutorial!
You can find the tutorial here: https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=htt...torial&h=2bc66
Alternatively, you could use the PayPal button on my blog, and mention in the message area that you want to purchase my tutorial.
The cost per tutorial is: $25.

Hi All! I have sent out all the tutorials bought so far. I am going a bit paranoid here. Should anyone not have received theirs, please let me know!

Hi all!
thank you for the wonderful response to my tutorial. I have cleaned the beads that I made, and thought of sending the big hole disc out to someone on Monday.
So, on my Monday morning (that is the Sunday night flush time in the LE bathroom) I will put all the names in a 'hat' and ask my landlord to pull a name. If you were thinking of buying a tutorial, and you get it before the Sunday night 'Potty' flush, you will be included in the draw!

I've just purchased mine. I was thinking I'd have to wait - but I got some birthday money, so it was a natural choice to use it for this Perfect timing.
Thanks heaps Diana

Very nice tutorial, Diana! How to make the square and triangle disks is worth the price.

Thanks Diana - I got it just fine within seconds of you posting here
I've spent the last few hours reading it & studying the images - over & over, so that I don't have to refer to it too much when I take it to the torch.
Just by reading I can tell it's worth it's weight in gold!! It's instructional & informative down to the most minute detail!!
I'm pretty sure that I can pick everywhere I have been going wrong already..... & can't wait to get to the torch tomorrow night
Thanks again

Oh thank you Deb! I was split in two with the volume information. I really felt that it was crucial to share even the sub, sub steps, and yet; did not want people to feel that I am OTT with info. At the end I decided to give everything!
I just shipped out the latest orders. (I am sorry - I was watching the Royal wedding this afternoon, and forgot to check in

And a last note
Just a reminder that I will draw a name at flush time tomorrow, and the name we draw will get the big hole disc shipped to him/her
Enjoy the rest of your day!
