    ok... I started witrh a mininal education in jewelry making from a
    college coarse. two years later i was injured on the job as a
    construction worker and decieded to take what i had and go for it! I
    made a display box that held 15 pieces and filled it with my first
    creations... Boy was i excited. I almost imediatley began making
    sales and i did 10-30$ pieces...two weeks later i went to answer the
    phone at a bar and somebody walked off with my case... i was
    devistated but i recouped ..built another box and went back at it...
    two weeks later i was at a party..took off my coat and danged if it
    doesn't happen again! Boy that one hurt! Anyway i learned my lesson
    about hanging on to my work and it never happened again till two
    years ago at greyhound.... that time it was 15,000$... Grrrrrr!
    Anyway I have always dealt by word of mouth and the two times i
    tried to open a door and did not have enough backing to withstand
    the first year. Perhaps next year I will be able to open a door and
    hang my shingle... Giving up will always defeat.. trying is losing a
    battle but not the war!            Ringman........30 years later
