I’ve been spending more time on the torch lately making beads and wanted to see if there were some tutorials that would inspire some fresh explorations. First I asked Mr. Google…I found EskieBeads.com and within that site a whole list of bead tutorials but a number of great artists. What do you want to make? There’s flower beads, stringer control, petal beads…I could go on. And I will. I’m off to watch some videos and then go make some beads.
