Making Glass Beads by Cindy Jenkins (2004, Paperback)

I love to read just about everything, ex specially when I love the things I do. I have many lampwork books and heard that Cindy Jenkins book is a must read. I found the book very informative talking about, glass types are compatiable with each other to all the tools that are involved in making glass beads. There are many different types of torches depending on what kind of glass you are using. Glass designer use many types of tools and this book sums up quiet a bit. This rule has been around for some time, but it also was mentioned in the book. I love it! If you can't remember what order to extinguish the torch just remember POOP: turning on - Porpane Oxygen Turning off: Oxyen Propane. It also showed examples and hot tips in the book. Most people like to just look at the pictures, not me I like reading and then looking at the pictures. This book would be great for those who are just starting out, or if you just love collecting lampwork beads books.
