Wow, Sarah Hornik has just published her first E-Book! It’s called “Think Pink” and it’s all about the queen of colour, Rubino Oro.
Sarah has obviously done some research on it’s history and make-up, and also experimented on Rubino Oro extensively to include it in her book to save you from searching the internet yourself. I think it’s a great resource written by a lampworker for lampworkers.
There are loads of pictures of beads for ideas and drool-worthy inspiration, tips on using Rubino Oro and other colours such as EDP, Leaky Pen and dichroic, 2 step-by-step pictured tutorials, and included are some great Sarah secrets that you usually only get to learn in her classes! Well worth the US$22.50 price, in my opinion. Definitely get a book for yourself. Just make sure you’ve got some Rubino Oro to play with, too!
You can also send her photos of any beads that you made with her tutorial to put up in her gallery! Cool! Watch it, I’ll be sure to get a bead up on that page.
Oh btw, does anyone else see this? But I reckon the way Sarah describes Rubino Oro on page 4 (2nd paragraph), sounds like RO is a Cancerian. 
I have serious Murano envy. I have been flame working almost 18 years, most of it on the tiny island of Saba in the Dutch West Indies. For a relatively new glass artist you are great. I need your help. I have been trying to track down the contact information on the Vetrofond factory. Can you help me. At the mement I buy directly from the Effetre factory and would love to work with Vetrofond. If you e-mail me, I would love to give you further information about a teaching project I am starting with a SEA TURTLE conservation group using recycled glass for beads. Thanks very much. Jo
Hi Jo,
Thanks for your compliments. I would love to help you out with Vetrofond’s address but I do not know it! The person to contact would be Quinton Van Loggerenberg of Glass Works in Belgium http://www.glassworks.be/ One thing I know for sure, Vetrofond’s factory is not on Murano island but it is near Venice. Sorry, that’s all I know.
It’s also amazing to see lampworkers are in all corners of the globe. I’m going to have to look up where Saba is now
Good luck with the sea turtles.
Cheers
