| All the Daughters of Eve |
I don't have pictures of myself actually making the beads, but there are plenty of places online where you can see that, just not with me in the picture ;-) Instead, what I've got for you here is a round-up of all the basic posts and tutorials that I've written on lampworking in the past. Here are just a few of the stages that my poor beads go through. In this particular example, I needed to make a large batch of basic spacer and nugget beads. Since this can get to be very dull, I allowed myself to play around every so often and make some "fun" beads, like the female-shaped beads in All the Daughters of Eve shown above.
After the pictures is the informational round-up.
