Description:

In this tutorial you will learn to make tube beads with rich textures that are totally seamless. I will also show you how to make larger focal beads (including the end caps) as well as covering pens and other tube shaped objects with this same technique.

The nice thing is that there is no sanding involved yet your pieces will have a silky smooth finish.

I've included a color guide and tips for using mica powders as well as texture ideas to use for your new creations.

As a bonus, I have included a color recipe sheet where I share with you how I achieve some of my favorite designs.

Thank you so much for making this tutorial, I have really been looking forward to it. I can't wait till I can afford to buy it!!

Nice!

Super pretty big pulls. Love the shapes.

Thank-you! I've been getting a lot of positive feedback on this tutorial and it can be so much fun to do.

I came up with the fan pulls when I was trying to match them to the switchplate covers and cabinet knob / drawer pulls I make for my home decor line.

Check out the article I wrote "To Glaze or Not to Glaze" under the Articles section where I go into a little more depth on finishing your work -- this is an extra help guide that is related to this and my other tutorials.

A very informative tutorial! I'm a newbie. You have offered us lot of helpful tips along with your expert techniques. Thanks!!!!
