I get it!

Okay, I wanted to keep this to myself because I was embarrassed but I can't.
I ordered a bead making video just to help me with my newbie experiences.
It makes so much sense on the techniques I was doing wrong that I GET IT
NOW. Yippee! I just finished some lovely beads and will be putting them
into the kiln later to anneal. I'm so happy I did a jig. snicker

Thanks,

Cool! Just so you know - beads should go directly into the kiln, as you
make them.

Not a whole lot if the kiln is efficient. We have noticed only a small
($5-$10 per month) increase in our average power bill.

Kandice - just out of curiosity, since i don't make beads, i only buy
them . . . have you ever figured out how much in electricity it costs
to run a kiln?

a little?
a lot?

Is there a reason you aren't putting your beads directly into the kiln
rather than annealing later?

wow!!! Thar's very reasonlble--I thought it would be much more! That (and a
fear of burning down the house) has kept me from investigating glass
further...like I NEED a new media to suck my brain away!! But I do have a
friend that's interested in learning...and she said she'd take me with to class
just to have company.....so I may be doing some info-scouring soon!!

Yes, I think there are things you just have to get as a *whole kenetic
process*, rather than illustrative snapshots or illustrations.

Glad you had a breakthrough. But why on earth would you be embarrassed
to say you used a video to get there? Do you feel like 'real'
lampworkers are just -born- knowing what to do?
