I still love it however and try new things all the time. The key is doing it because you love it and just keep trying to improve your skills. Corina Tettinger's book, Passing the Flame is a book I still look at, also Bluffroads Glass had a drool-worthy book.
Please keep going, if for no other reason than melting glass is a magical experience!

Yes absolutely will continue - though it is frustrating, at times I feel like I just wasn't meant to be a beadmaker - encountering one issue after another related to my lack of technical skills - then I take a break - study some more and try again. Having bead release woes at the moment - when I have not had problems before - release is flaking off and beads are not holding in place. Not sure what is going on .... hope I can find a solution soon. I have a new jar maybe that will help.
Just checked out your site - wow you make GOREGOUS beads!! Very drool worthy too.
