Beadmaking Techniques

I have had quite a few inquiries to share beadmaking techniques.  Quite a few lovely people helped me when I first began and to be honest, I figured out a lot of this on my own.  I thought about your questions and decided to share what I know and help new beadmakers who have asked about how something is done. 

I have created this section so that you can read about each technique on a page of its own.  And if you wish only print the techniques you want to practice.

Here's the list of techniques I have written up so far.  I've tried to include pictures that help describe the technique.

1.  How do you place even dots?

2.  What is "Silvered Ivory"?

3.  How do you make triangles on the beads?

4.  How do you case a bead?  (coat a bead with a transparent glass)

5.  How do I anneal my beads now that I have made them?

6.  What can I use to make Lentil shaped beads?

7.  Coming to a torch near you!
