How I wish that weren't the case, but sadly, at the moment, it seems to be. Good luck with whatever you decide. Your gods and goddess beads are really lovely representations of an ancient form.

You are a goddess of linguistics and diplomacy, and I sincerely admire you!!! You've put words to my sentiments perfectly!

I really don't have an answer for you, as it seems this will ultimately be a personal choice after weighing all the pros and cons, but I must applaud your foresight in posting this inquiry, publicly, and soliciting feeback from your fellow lampworkers to help you make a decision. Best to put a toe in the water first than try to swim to shore in a vortex after blindly diving in! Good thinking...
Best of luck to you.
