i also want some peyotes, for i am shit at making them.

 

i believe it wass 79suburban who sent me a really nice wood bead
(the name in the envelope was george but im pretty sure it wss him)

 

I know how to make peyotes, and I'm planning to make some glass beads in my second year of uni (next year) if I can get the lampworking stuff!! So hang tight... xD

I can make ceramic beads ;D With funky coloured glazes Fancy it?

Porcelain ones soon possibly?

 

whatcha doin at uni then? sounds fun =D

 

I have a bunch of various wooden beads kickin' around, and I'll be making some glass beads as soon as I get the larger sized mandrels (hopefully within the next couple weeks)

 

Ceramics and glass Unfortunately the uni doesn't allow me to try lampworking due to health and safety blahblahblah so I'm gonna have to fork out a load just to try it Ahh well, I really do wanna try it so it will be worth it Does anyone, bcmama, have any good sites/ UK shops specialising in lampworking materials/equipment?

 

whats lampworking sorta like glassblowing?
you brits and your funky englishlike language

 

Lamp working and torch work are a form of working with glass using a torch to melt down rods & tubes of glass to make jewelry, pipes, etc. It is different from glass blowing where you are taking molten glass out of a furnace and shaping it.

 

ah thnx for that your always a welth of knowledge

 

Glass blowing is awesome ;D We do it at uni

 

I haven't really looked for ones in the UK. I try my best to buy Canadian, but it seems most of the glass we use comes from US distributers, who sell it to the small Canadian companies that we buy from.
Do some googling, you should find alot of info and shops in your area.

 

I was the one who sent you the blackwalnut bead Soaring

I can try to dig up some threads with pics of some beads I've made. I've sold a few on here. I have a lot I've already made, of different' types of wood and different shapes. I can pretty much make any shape. It will be the weekend before I'm back home and can get a good look at what all I have left.

i can probably make wooden beads. i have a wood lathe. but i havent yet because i dont have any dreads!!!

 

When my dreads were littlens I made a tonne of fimo clay beads I'd really reccommend making your own- the blocks of fimo clay are really cheap and last for ages

Or Alternatively I could make some and considerer selling them... Ohh business plan xD Let me know if you are interested xD

 

Hey I could make you some peyote stitches have tons of beads,but you'll just have to let me know the colour this is my recent one its rainbow coloured but anything is fine,can make them pretty long too which looks cool .

 

thats a very pretty pretty one =] ive got loooads of small beads, i just cant figure out how to make them.. i made like, one row, but couldnt do the step up and got all confuzzled.

 

I am! i dont have dreads yet but im getting them once my hair grows out a little

 

Awesome beads 78 & Chemicals
PM me with details
Thanks
