To achieve a fade, start by practicing on a blank piece of paper, you will need to master the technique first, as it is the only way to gauge how much distance the colour will travel. Better to become familiar with a technique elsewhere than risk ruining a piece you have been working on.

To fade a single colour out to white - start with an intense application of your colour (at the center of your page) and as you more away from the center apply less and less pressure on your pencil until you are just barely touching the surface of the ground (paper).

Using a stump of other blending tool, draw out from the center (or most intense colour) toward the blank ground. You will be drawing the stump past the edge of the area you have coloured. Continue doing this over the entire area until the colour is no longer transferred from the stump to the ground. This should result in a good fade from colour to white.

To fade one colour into another, once again practice on a blank piece of paper (in a horizontal or landscape orientation). Place a circle of one colour on the left and one on the right.

If you are fading two primary colours together start very small. Following the instructions above work outward, decreasing the pressure on your pencil as you go. You will want to bring each colour past the center line, in such a manner as to have the two primary colours overlapping in the middle of the page.

When you start using your blending tool remember to use a different one for each colour as you do not want to "muddy" one with the other. Continue pulling colour toward the center of the page and then using a third blending tool, merge the two colours.

Italian glass blowing techniques such as latticinio and zanfirico are adapted here to make beads. Furnace glass uses large decorated canes built up out of smaller canes, encased in clear glass and then extruded to form the beads with linear and twisting stripe patterns. No air is blown into the glass. These beads require a large scale glass furnace and annealing (glass) kiln for manufacture.

A scrapbook is any collection of items that help you share or recall memories, in book form.

To make a scrapbook, you need:

A Book

Depending on what your scrapbook will be used for, you have lots of choices. There are blank books designed specifically for scrapbooking that can be purchased at scrapbooking stores, craft supply stores, and many big-box retail stores. These often have removable pages that are protected by a plastic cover. You don't have to purchase a commercial scrapbook, you can use a notebook, a sketchbook, or even an old book.

Store-bought scrapbooks provide extra space in the spine for embellished pages. When you put items in your book, it will make it thicker. When using a book that was not designed for scrapbooking, you'll find that your book fans out, with the spine being more narrow than the stack of pages. You can minimize this by tearing out excess pages. Make sure to tear out pages throughout the book instead of tearing out most of the pages at the beginning or end.

Memorabilia

The items in your scrapbook tell a story. These items can be photos, letters, concert tickets, plane tickets, postcards, or small mementos like buttons or leaves. Anything non-perishable that is mostly flat can be put in a scrapbook. Scrapbooks can be themed based on the items put in them. You might have a scrapbook dedicated to a specific event, like a vacation, or a single scrapbook for one kind of event, like concerts or trips. If you are scrapbooking for your children you might have a family scrapbook, or individual scrapbooks for each child.

Adhesives and Fasteners

To fasten your memorabilia to your pages, you need some kind of adhesive. Tape or glue are common adhesives, and there are many different decorative tapes and strengths of adhesives to choose from. Instead of using an adhesive, you can use a fastener such as a staple, paperclip, or brad. Some scrapbookers use a sewing machine to stitch items into place. You should tailor your choice to the materials you are using.

If you want your scrapbook to last for generations, you should use an adhesive that is acid free. Adhesives sold specifically for scrapbooking will generally be acid free. Acid free materials will protect your pages and memorabilia from rapid deterioration.

Embellishments

You can add additional embellishments such as stamps or stickers to your pages. Scrapbooking embellishments and decorative scrapbook papers can be purchased at a craft store to enhance the look of the pages in your scrapbook. These embellishments can add to the story you are telling and make the book more aesthetically pleasing. You can also use crafting supplies to create your own embellishments.

Journaling

The photos and items you put in your scrapbook tell a story. You can strengthen this by writing down your memories. This journaling process captures your version of events for future generations. When journaling, you may want to share the names of the people in photos, write about what was special about the specific event, relate a story, or just share the day and place that photos were taken. Regardless of the items you use to create your scrapbook, remember that your scrapbook is your own collection of memories. More than items pasted in a book, it is a tactile memoir of an event or series of events in your life, and an opportunity for you to express your own personal style.

This is highly variable, depending on a number of factors, eg. his experience level, what kind of merchandise he handles, and where he's located. A jeweler in Beverly Hills designing six or seven figure necklaces for celebrities will make substantially more than a guy setting turquoise into silver in a small village in Mexico.
