I just sat and stared at the flame. I had a few things I wanted to try: playing with Double Helix's Aurae and trying to work the those cased flowers I've been so tortured by into my own designs.
It seemed everything just went awry. I loved the Aurae but was afraid of wasting it. It just made me nervous.
And then I just got impatient when, after taking a full hour to shape a heart - very large, layers of color - the flowers I added just didn't measure up. I got impatient and tossed it in the kiln.
I hate days like that. But you know what I've learned? That whenever I do have a torch session like that one, the next session usually yields something amazing! Either a really cool bead or some skill I've been struggling with will suddenly be perfected or greatly improved!
What do you struggle with??? And what do you do to overcome it?
