weeble : no one can believe that I am a selftaught man.
I didn't have a master ( teacher ) to teach me toe
goldsmithing . My speciality is hand engraving, and I
always love to be a metalsmith. So, everithing I am
doing is by instinct and common sense. That's why I
can't compare myself with the real goldsmiths which are
trained in real goldmithing schools . I can say I am an
amateur , somehow. I wish I could be in a real
goldsmith school , it is good for the CV , mostly .

SkiandCathy : Faberge or Tiffany are to great names to
associate my name with them . I didn't dare to think of
that , it makes me laugh only the thought of that . I
have seen Faberge once in my life and it is breathless
. I can't imagine how they could made such a perfection
at that time of obscurantism withowt having electric
programable ovens or watchmaker's lathes . It is simply
unbelievable that are made only by hand . It is far
dificult to make geometry instead free form or shaped
models . Leaves and flowers has no strict rules as eggs
shape or other perfect geometrical shapes or volumes .
Let's not talk about knowledges ...I am only a
goldsmith a little more skilled than others .

As a matter of facts , I almost start to hate this
item...It is putting me in a very complicate situation
, among ELEVEN project . I didn't make anything for my
own interest , to pay the rent and this was only an
artist ambition to m aterialize what I've had in mind (
and there are many more projects like this ) . The life
, though, is very ruthless and now I have troubles
again with my workplace rent and bank debt ..I could
laugh if the things were not serious . I've had made a
perfect vicious circle : who will be able to pay such
amount on Fairy ( even if I make a half value price for
it ? ) Romania is not America and life here is very
tough , things like this can not be selled on this
market . :-( ??

G - I wanted you to know that I have come here everyday
with the hopes of seeing the next video of the fairy. I
can't tell you how pleased I was to see not only one
video from you - but three! What a wonderful treasure
you have created. It surely rivals anything made by
Faberge' or Tiffany. What always amazes me the most
about your work, is that this is the creation of one
man. Unlike Faberge' or Tiffany, this is not the work
of a committee, it is from the mind and hand of one
person - you. The conception, the design, the metal
work, the connections and engineering, the stone
setting, the enameling, the finish, are all done by
you. I can only imagine how proud you must be of this
wonderful creation. I also wanted to say that for me
there is something beyond the finished piece that is so
very wonderful. That something is your willingness, and
generosity for sharing this creation with the rest of
the world. To see something beautiful is always nice.
But to watch the artist work, to see the metal take
shape, the piece come to life - that is something very
special. I can only hope that who ever purchases this
lovely creature will cherish her for something more
than a mere piece of jewelry. She is the creation of a
remarkable artist, and a very kind man.
With Our
Warmest Regards,
Ski & Cathy

Hi Giacomo,
we are gonna have to think of a new
name for what you do?
Your much more than a
jeweller.
Artist (that come first with the
idea)

Designer (That come second)
/>Sculptor (Your ability to make the metal do what you
want it to do,one false move and it's all over) />
Engineer (Understanding what will work with the
metal)
There's a few more,but jeweller just
doesn't do you justice.
Good luck with the fairy.
