This a good conversation and for everyone who is a beginner in this craft I just want to suggest not to be swayed away from new techniques that are disliked or scary, hard or hated. None of us know if we like or dislike something unless we try it. It takes time and sticking to a new thing for at least a while before deciding one way or the other if we want to continue a technique. Life is to short not to try new things. We all find our own way but with the help and encouragement of others.
peace
