    All, I would like to amend my last letter. A lot of orchidians have
    stated as I did that we support ourselves with jewelry work. The
    percentage is really meaningless unless we have a dollar figure to
    compare it to. I am not going to share with you what my income is
    nor will I ask you to divulge that information. What I would be
    interested in knowing is how much of your total work comes from the
    pieces you are really proud of. The pieces that you would do even if
    you never had to work again. 

    Personally I would say that I am about a twenty/seventy/ten split.
    Meaning I absolutely love about 20% of what I do. About 70% is run
    of the mill stuff that I take pride in and enjoy and about 10% I
    really do out of obligation or because the money is really good but
    I have to admit I would rather not have my name attached to. Is this
    common? It would be interesting to see what others think.
