I am happy to offer the Techniquark Class again - this "on demand" class (detailed info below" is still very much "alive", people are posting murrini, twisties and beads on the "Companion Page", which is really a great source of info. Included in the class price are 6+ hours of high quality video (18 clips, so you don't have to wade through hours of video if you want to watch a particular tutorial.) plus a medium size quark delivered to your door. All of this is $ 125
This is the original description
It seems like I'm always "superexcited" about something I come up with, but this time I am REALLY superexcited: I am offering my first on-line class, the topic is "How to make techniquark beads".
I usually name those beads "quark" (long story)but for the class I renamed them "techniquarks", because this is one type of bead that requires so many "generally useful" techniques, and you're going to learn all of them:
- making twisties in different way
- making murrini, from simple to complex
- putting together a pleasing design
- encasing without smearing and distorting
- and a whole bunch of bonus techniques.
When and where does this class take place? At your home of course - at any time that's convenient for you
Initially I had a live class, but people weren't so happy having to sit at the computer for over 6 hours, which is why I now only offer "on demand" - whenever you have time to watch.
The "on-demand" version will give you access to all the videos, including the entire recorded Zoom class from the original live class, the only thing you can't do is ask question in person, but you can always ask questions and make comments on the special page "Let's talk Quarks and Stuff". You will get access to THIS page soon as you sign up, so far it only has a couple of video messages from Kelly and me, plus pictures of beads, but with your help it will be more populated as the class nears.
I hope all that sounds good to you, now to the price: You get the 6+ hours of videos (not ONE long video, but shorter clips by topic), access to both the class page (no limit), the companion page AND a medium size quark bead shipped to you. All this is $ 125.00
I'm so happy that my friends Cali and Alden managed to straighten those punties that got delivered crooked. Now I can sell them with confidence:
As usual, creating paypal buttons is comlicated, I know that several of you were interested in 2 pairs, but then I won't be able to keep track of inventory. The same goes for international orders...You can still order 2 pairs or more, the shopping cart will charge you twice for shipping, but no worries, I'll refund any overpaid shipping. If you don't have work, you'll make some.
I also offer international shipping, PLEASE make sure to pick that shipping option! As for our Canadian friends, I guess because there is no sea between us you're not considered "overseas" - but please use the international order option, again, I'll refund the difference.
Each pair of punties costs $ 22, domestic shipping for one pair is $ 4.00, international shipping is $ 19.00

New in July: a "pocket size online class" for making Checkerboard Murrini. These instructions were part of the 6 hour online "Techniquark Class"; I had some requests for offering ONLY the Checkerboard Murrini instructions, so I isolated the instruction for the Murrini. 12 video segments for a total of about 2 hours of information. No prior Murrini Making knowledge required. The images below are some of the Murrini proudly made by the students in the "Techniquark Class".
$ 15 (you'll receive an invitation to the "Checkerboard Class" on Facebook.
Availabe now: new online class on making Fossil beads. (scroll down for details of time and price as well as WHAT is going to be covered in the class)
 
This class is available On Demand, meaning you can watch it whenever you have time
Now to the content of the class. If you know my beads, you will realize that I often prepare lots of components to use in my beads - that also goes for the Fossilbeads. Some of the techniques, like making twisties or simple murrini, are very similar to what I showed in the quark class, so I MIGHT put these videos into the "BONUS section so we can focus on what's new, but that depends on how many people are "repeat offenders"...
Here are a few picturs of twisties and murrini we will be making (among others)
A lot of "items" will be created directly on the bead, mostly using stringers of various colors: Fishbone, stylized jelly fish, ammonite, starfish, octopus tentacle and whater YOU can think of...hope to see you on Zoom soon!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The Class is $ 100
Once you have sent payment via paypal I will email you instructions on how to join the group - I will also include my phone number, to make sure everything goes smoothly. Access to the "Let's talk quarks and stuff" will be immediate, so you introduce yourself, ask general questions etc. - access to the CLASS page will be given shortly after the live class.
Phhh, lots of stuff. It took me two weeks to prepare this class...I miss making beads, but this is fun too. I promise you will have a good time and learn lots....Hope to see you soon.

I am superexcited to finally being able to offer my latest tutorial/inspiration file:
250 designs with Dots and Lines. This took me 10 years to pur together. There is a German saying: "was lange waehrt wird endlich gut" (if it took you that long it better be freaking awesome")...and I feel it turned out amazing, if I may say so myself. It has 30 pages of instructions, theory, excercise and plenty of "copyable" eye candy.
For $ 20, you can check it out yourself.
You might think nothing new is going on here - check my new private Facebook group: "Corinabeads and you". Lots of fun and information and interaction. Just ask to join and be part of the gang (Not sure the link will work...)

While I had a long discussion in my facebook group about the benefit of printed books, I also see that there are times where e-books have a benefit. Which is why I turned the printed version of PASSING THE FLAME into a downloadable e-book. I downloaded it onto my ipad and it looks great, not sure how it would fare on a phone, lol.
The e-book version is $ 35.00 (the amount I made when I sold Passing The Flame to Frantz Artglass)

Tuesday, July 2nd, 2019
I finally got some of my all-time favorite tools back in stock:
1. The improved Magic Masher
Now features a heat resistant padded handle, which prevents the handle from getting hot with extended use and feels more comfortable in your hand. Like all my tools it comes with a life-long guarantee. $ 85
2. The perfect "beadable" rodholder. Hold tight!
I have 18 of these - and there will be no more after these - $ 40
3. something else a beadmaker can't live without, the fabulous Japanese Nippers
Most people who have tried these agree that they are the best nippers on the market, no awkward angle or aligning disks.....I have 5 left, but can order ore in the future, but shipping from Japan is getting more and more expensive...that's why they are now $ 40. Again, these will be the only nippers you will ever need, they last forever.
4. I just found these in my studio: The Wire holder
Perfect for people who make things at the end of a wire (most amazing example is probaby Sara Sally-LaGrand), but a lot of people use the Carlo Dona Bellflower press. You can feed the wire through the handle and just but the piece of wire you used and continue with your next piece. 3 in stock, $ 30
2019 - a new year, hopefully full of love and health and laughter - and beads of course. Still the same way to offer beads though: I list them on my website and send out a newsletter the moment they are up. (If you're not signed up yet, click on the pink box above). The first sale of the year will be next Monday, January 7th.
A few changes this year: International shipping has gone up so much, a SINGLE bead that I can ship for $ 2.67 domestically costs $ 13.60 to the UK, or Australia or most other countries. I still only charge $ 3.00 for shipping, but since I have quite a few international customers this can get expensive. Making paypal buttons for international shipping is not very effective, a) it takes much longer to create, and b) nobody ever pays attention and just pays $ 3.00 anyway. From now on I will send out invoice for $ 5.00 for international orders, that way we "share" the additional financial burden. Hope that will work for everybody.
For Liza
