    I have to agree with Helen in UK here. I am also what would be
    considered "self taught", tho in actuality I did have mentors in the
    beginning who taught me the basics of both cabochon cutting and
    jewelry fabrication. But no one is really "self-taught". We all learn
    not only from our own experience but from the experiences of others.
    To paraphrase a quote that I was told was attributed to Alan Revere,
    there are ten basic techniques and ten thousand tricks to jewelry
    making. Learn one trick each from ten thousand people and you have
    learned ten thousand tricks. You may not be "formally trained" but
    you will have had the benefit of learning something from ten thousand
    teachers- and that equates to one heck of a lot of experience. 

    To quote a colloquialism heard frequently on this side of the pond,
    "There's more than one way to skin a cat". It's true- there is! :-)
