Yes! I am a beginner lampworker. I've sold a few beads. I even have a little online shop that has been ignored lately by me and buyers. I'm hoping its just because I haven't been listing beads in a long while. hmmm.... time to relist? mark down?
!! So today I got a copy of Passing The Flame By Corina Tettinger!! Finally !! I've been wanting this book for a few years now but I kept spending all my money on glass.... anyway I immediately begin reading it as fast as I could - (I even started from the beginning) but as I'm going through the techniques I soon realize that alot of what is gone over (not all of it) I figured out on my own or picked up from forums. I have to say Corina has a wicked sense of humor, her style and technique is impeccable and I highly respect her.
I am still extremely happy I got the book but what I realized was that; 1) I love figuring things out for myself ! There is a real excitement and satisfaction of saying Aha! That's how you do that! I enjoy the process of discovery. Like a child figuring out something on there own rather then having mommy or daddy do it for them. Not to say that some direction is useful but I try when I can to get it on my own. 2) I'm glad I didn't get this book sooner but I know I have a lot of practicing to do!- I am far from having technical effortlessness. I think I would consider that bead making nirvana. ommmmmnnn
