Default "Making Glass Beads" + referral?

With Cheryl making the referral, I bid on "Making Glass Beads" on eBay. I
bid up to $17.01 (figured with the shipping, that would make retail). I
lost it, and I figured "Okay, I will go to BN.com and pay retail, and get a
book or two more, cuz they have $50/free shipping". Well, I went and found
out that not only is the book $17.56, but if I spend $25, I can get free
shipping.

So my question is, if Ken doesn't have anything to fill in the extra (gotta
convince him of the purchase, anyway, LOL!), are there any recommendations
of other lampwork books?

I see flameworking: creating glass beads, sculptures & functional objects.
I have been looking for others, but they are kinda elusive. So just looking
for other titles?

thanks!
Mary


Oh, and for giggles, I went to look for used books, Cindy's first edition of
this book is going for $49.00!!!

I recommend Jim Kervin's "More Than You Ever Wanted to Know About Glass
Beadmaking". It's wonderful for safety and equipment issues. Of course, I
also recommend Corina Tettinger's "Passing the Flame", but that's a bit
above the $25 mark. It's $75 and completely worth it.

neither one was through BN.com, but I got the "making glass beads" and
digital fortress...hope I like it, because it's not the genre I usually
like. I got it, hoping Ken will like it, also, and then we can go on from
there.

OK, I haven't read the whole thread, so I hope I don't just repeat what
everyone else said!

"Beads of Glass" (Cindy Jenkins) is absolutely chock-a-block with
mind-bending eye-candy and stuff to try, but not horribly expensive.
"More than you ever wanted to know about making glass beads" (James
Kervin) is an absolute must-have when you upgrade to an oxy-propane
torch. You may not need it now, but when you do, read it cover-to-cover,
you'll be so glad you did!

"Passing the Flame" (Corina Tettinger) is an amazing step-by-step,
full-color guide to basic building-block techniques, like dots,
stringer, twisties, stripes, triangles, florals, and encasement. I would
say that it is the one book that will advance your beadmaking skills the
fastest, if you are a beginner. If you're intermediate, browse someone
else's copy to see if there are any skills you missed... it will
probably be useful, but I don't know that you need to own it if you
already have basic techniques down pat. I'm hoping she comes out with an
intermediate/advanced book at some point, because her writing style,
pictures, and layout are wonderfully clear, fun, and easy to learn from.
In the meantime, her "Spotlight on" magazines are invaluable mini-books
packed with useful information at only $12 or so an issue.
http://www.corinabeads.com, if you don't already have her URL!

Last, are you on wetcanvas.com? I've learned more there than from any of
my books.

Have fun!
