The Complete Book of Glass Bead Making by Kimberly Adams "Every eye-catching photo in this superb guide to a popular craft will inspire, instruct, and attract bead- and glass-makers. It features all the most popular types of beads, accompanied by the newest, most innovative techniques. The instructions begin with the basics: how to light the torch, wind and cool the bead, and shape the glass into barrels, cones, and discs. As beadmakers’ skills develop, they can expand their horizons by experimenting with enamel; using mica dust to form an iridescent sheen; and applying silver, gold, and copper leaf to layers of glass. Full color hardcover, 176 pages, measures 8.5 x 10 inches.
