After a couple of years of reading the Orchid Digest, I decided it was finally time to join. I started beading about 8 years ago but switched to working with sterling about three years ago by taking a weekly workshop for several semesters and slowly acquiring tools for my home studio. NOw I work mostly from home with the ex ception of takinga workshop here and there! For me it is a very slow learning curve since I have a day job - but my studio is a great place to settle into when I can find a few hours at a time. I have learned so much by reading all that the members post - - thanks to you all - hopefully I will be able to add worthwhile information to the posts as my experience increases (maybe I can add more of what not to do - rather than how to do it - as I have also learned much from my past mistakes). THanks again to all who post here - I feel as if I know many of you already! Ruta
