I have been reading your book and I will be setting up my enameling station this week. I am very inspired by your beautiful work.
I can't wait to get started!!!
This is going to be loads of fun Barbara...thank you so much for including me =)
This will be fun.. I'll look forward to reading the new blogs everyday. I made a few beads over the summer and loved it then life happened and I got busy. I purchased your book last week and have been re-inspired. Will be making time for it now!!
Oh, I'm so excited for this! I'm already a follower of this blog, and I'm heading back to mine to post about the book tour!

oooh! I'm so excited! I am in desparate need of some inspiration! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with ! :)
Great fun...getting to meet a bunch of "fire bugs" like me! I'm following, I've shared on facebook and tweeted too. Now off to Amazon to order the book. Will be a great add to my mountain of art books ;o)
Ok, I posted on my blog about the tour.

Thanks so much for doing this, Barbara
You already know I love the book and this looks like a great line up. Can't wait to see what transpires.
Barbara, yippeeeee! It's the start of your Book Tour! I'm looking forward to visiting everyone's blogs as well - it's going to be fun hearing how everyone is enjoying your new book!

Looking forward to following the tour! And I follow you too :)
How fun this will be! I love all the gorgeous colors of your beads and I am now a follower!
I just purchased your book last week and I would love to post a review on it. I am very excited about this tour! I will be posting it on my blog. This is exciting!!
Yay! How exciting for you, and your adoring fans as well! Throw my hat in the ring, and I'm already a follower :)
I believe an artist, of any kind, should always be evolving and I've reached that point where I want to *make* my beads, etc., as opposed to buying them. I've had your book in my "Wish List" on Amazon for a couple of weeks until I can buy it. Today, I found this article on one of the other blogs I follow and I'm excited to be able to start following you, too, now!
Very timely! I'm going to devote my entire weekend in Palm Springs to mastering the Painting with Fire technique - and blogging about the adventure. I posted links to FB and will blog about the tour as well.
I just blogged about your book tour!
Oh Yeah! I am a follower here. thanks for the chance.
I am not an U.S. resident but I will follow the tour. I am sure I will learn great things!

I am back to mention that I am a follower. Thanks for this fun "book tour".
I just posted about this wonderful vitural book tour on the blog.
I'm already a happy follower!
I'm looking forward to this blog hop. (BTW - I love the idea that the artists are posting on different days so we can have a daily dose of inspiration.) Lucky me, I already have a copy of your book and have been bitten by the "painting with fire" bug...I will do my part to spread the word!
Oh, I forgot, I'm a follower and posting on my blog about V-book-hop!
I posted a review at Amazon today.
This has inspired me to finally try this technique and buy the book! This looks like so much fun (and easy), thank you!
I forgot to let you know that I am also a follower of your blog...
Barbara, thanks so much for including me in this wonderful list of blogging artists. This will be so much fun and I've already enjoyed seeing what Mary Jane is up to. I love your book and even though I'm not an enameler (yet!), I've found loads of techniques that are finding there way into my studio.
I am loving this! I'm already a follower. Now I'm leaving to go blog, tweet & facebook it, too!
I just visited the first blog on your virtual blog tour...... and have to say she has great ideas on how to give torch enameling her own personal touch! What a good way to help get your book "out there"
I am a follower of your blog
So much fun to see all the wonderful work, thanks for sharing. Pat
I am eagerly devouring everything of yours! I love the book (and if I wasn't in transition of downsizing my studio I would be elbow-deep in experimentation right now!), I love your blog, and I love your heart that is so giving and sharing. Art on! ~ Mo
Barbara, you got me started in enameling with the first tutorial I bought from you on etsy. From there it was love at first firing! So I'm not a new follower, just a devoted one. I'm sure your virtual tour will be a smashing success!
I will have to look for the book. And will definitely check out the artists on this tour!
Chris C

Sent to friends and just posted on Facebook. Hugs
I'd very much like to follow but I don't use Facebook. Is there another option to follow?
I have your book and firing enamel beads is on my bucket list.
I have been fascinated with your work since I first stumbled across enameled beads. I have your book and am just working up the guts to go beyond my micro torch and use a big girl flame and try some enameling. The book tour is great fun.
and I follow your blog
The beads are beautiful and I am looking forward to learning more about them. The giveaway is amazing.
I just got a torch and am learning all about it.
Too much! I just got finished reading through your book - which is Awesome! - and can't wait to get the torch fired up again to try out more of the beautiful effects.
maybe I can figure out how to not burn them!!!!
The daily give aways are great!
Oh! I just found out about this virtual book tour. I'll be following along from now on!
Ijust found out about this virtual tour but will be sure to follow along. I just got the book from Amazon a few weeks ago and have not had the chance yet to really sit down and read. All the works I have seen on the blogs up to now really make me want to take up this art form too...
First contest entry: I follow your blog.
What a great idea, I'm on the virtual tour and I'm loving it! Thanks and Cheers!
