Think Pink is a project I’ve been working on for a while (well, on and off). When I first met Rubino Oro, back in 2005, it was love at first sight. In the beginning, it was its rich, gorgeous fuchsia color that allured me, but as our relationship progressed, I began to discover more and more special qualities in this special glass.

Since then, I have done much research and experimentation. Today, I proudly present this E-book, which is, hopefully, the first in a series.

The book is divided into four sections. In the first part, you will find loads of information about Rubino Oro and tips on how to work with it. The second section, Ideas and Inspiration, contains many photos and descriptions of various techniques I have worked with over the past couple of years. The third and fourth sections are full step-by-step tutorials for two of my signature styles: the Flower Child Bead and the Barbie Bling Bead.


The E-book is 43 pages long, and contains over 130 high-quality color photos. File size is 3.53MB.


Why an E-Book?

Less boring logistic work for me, lower price and speedy delivery time for you - and it’s better for the environment, too! If you are a paper-person, you can print this E-book out for your own use.

The E-book is in PDF format, which can be viewed easily using software like Adobe Reader or Foxit - both available for free download.
