    To All Fabricators I was fortunate to have taken a class at Revere
    Academy with Michael Good a while back. Innocently thinking I would
    learn the technique of his sensual hand hammered hollow jewelry
    designs, and get right to work making my own. 2 years later, I am
    still in 'apprentice's. But have made some headway recently! (will
    put designs on my website soon) My question is to those of you who
    have done mostly fabrication: What is the most malleable 18 or 14
    karat alloy you prefer? I mix my own alloys from 24k when casting...,
    and have tried Jean Starkes granulation formula. (great for 22k) But
    wish to hear from more experienced (seasoned?) goldsmiths. Thanks in
    advance! Thomas Blair -( Boozer) 843 686 6001 843 686 6407 fax Island
