I must say that I that I learned more about enameling while going through the process. I looked at it as a necessity. I couldn't bring myself to make each piece exactly the same, but did have to run somewhat of a personal assembly line to complete the task efficiently. I gained confidence in the process.Artisan Beads Plushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17162473523455499816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-82867653704198745332011-10-01T13:15:09.725-04:002011-10-01T13:15:09.725-04:00The repition of a "process or technique"...The repition of a "process or technique" is the best way to master the skill. Skill acquistion is the same for most anything. At first you are awkward, you become skillful through practice, and mastery comes when the pattern is repeated enough to become automatic.

Instead of enjoying the process and learning from it, I coudn't wait to get it done and move on to putting the necklace together. I need to slow down, get to know the wire, and enjoy. Thanks so much for the reminder.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07545020113679133121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-26123825010038850202011-10-01T07:37:57.917-04:002011-10-01T07:37:57.917-04:00I find that if I do sit down to a repetitive task ...I find that if I do sit down to a repetitive task that it is like a meditation and quiets my mind. There is something very calming in doing the familiar. I also think that repetition is necessary to increase skill. Its like learning to walk. You started out with wobbling steps and it took months to master it.SummersStudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10250150360701388415noreply@blogger.com
