Mostly it's the peace within the flames. I am so relaxed when I work. Hard to explain to those who don't torch. Glad peeps here understand.

And this... It's Zen - provided an individual bead doesn't take more than about 20 minutes...
My attention span is short. That and you can try so many different things. What is it, jack of all trades, master of none.
Interestingly when I buy other people's work, it's generally the focals rather than sets. I may not be able to concentrate that long (not that I have the talent or ideas anyway), but I certainly appreciate the work of those who do.
I find it fascinating looking at the jewellery section. Alot of the designs feature around the sets. Seeing what the designers do with various works absolutely stuns me.
