BUMPS!
Bumps are half dome shaped, securely attached to the bead with nice straight sides and a round top. In all her years of teaching Heather has seen lots of interesting techniques for applying bumps. But there is one technique in particular she would like to see go by the wayside; it is the troublesome stabbing or jabbing at the bead when placing the bumps. "When I was new to beadmaking, making bumps was a nerve wracking, heart pounding and generally exhilarating experience so I understand and empathize with the stab/jab. But years of experience have taught me to take a deep breath, relax and place my bumps with care and attention."

Heather designed her BUMPS! tutorial for students who are unable to take a class with her personally.
Note from Heather: "Just imagine that you are in my studio for a private lesson. Here is your chance to "watch" me work, and have me "talk" you through the process of honing your beadmaking skills. And yes, there will be assignments at the end of this lesson!" Once you have mastered the BUMPS! tutorial, it will be much easier to be successful with Heather's future tutorials. Future tutorials include: Buttons, Clear Casing, Hollows & Big Hole Beads. This tutorial is a downloadable PDF file. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open it.
