    I feel compelled to add a little here.  After 25 years as a fiber
    artist, I began studying metals and jewelry 5 years ago - and I
    was past 42 at the time.  I thought I loved what I did before,
    but have never felt as passionate as I do about jewelry! I could
    regret not finding this sooner, but I believe things happen when
    they are supposed to.  Due to some personal problems, I know that
    I would have been a basket case these past few years if not for
    the joy I feel while working.  It has been my salvation and came
    to me at exactly the right time. And there is the excitment of
    learning - I will be busy for the rest of my life learning new
    things about this wonderful art form. If you feel anything like
    the passion and joy that I, and many others, have expressed here,
    how could you NOT persue this dream?  I 
    hope you will, and wish you much happiness!   Gini
