This tutorial is on how to create one of my Secret recipes. This recipe is a secret mixture of glass that I came up with when trying to achieve that stoned look for my Arrowhead beads. This tutorial is not only on how to create the recipe but also on actually blowing the shards, which is all part of the process.
This tutorial does NOT include the steps to making an Arrowhead.Note: A similar recipe will be included for free in my "Arrowhead tutorial" coming soon! Read further.
I first learned how to create or blow shards when I took a class with Jennifer Geldard a few years ago. A FREE tutorial on "blowing shards" is also available on her website as well as on various glass forums. So this tutorial was created mainly to give you my SECRET RECIPE for creating the stone look in your shards.A similar tutorial with a slightly different recipe but the basic steps, will be included for FREE in my “Arrowhead tutorial” So if you prefer to wait for my "Arrowhead tutorial" in a few days, you can save yourself a few dollars.
I decided to make this available to those who are wanting just the shard RECIPE and not interested in the "Arrowhead tutorial".5 pages & 20 Photos & step-by-step easy to follow instructions on how to create the Coral Sands Shards. Once you've read this tutorial you can use your own choices of colors to create your own special shards.
