    First i would say that you should go to museums more and see the art
    that has existed for years and years,,, i don't know why i say that
    actually(study ancient chinese design, maiori, inca, art nouveau,
    glass,, gorham silver),,, and furthermore,, why do you think
    negativs of your old stuff,,, i love my old stuff for what i knew
    then,, and thought about then,,, yea i am into new things at the
    moment,,, and they are beautiful, but just new, not more beautiful
    than the old. I'm pretty sure that you put some pics, or a web up in
    the past, and i thought your stuff was great,,, yes, you did??  I
    entered a showroom in manhattan and i brought a hundred things, old
    and new for the owner to peruse, because she wanted to see my work,,
    then she suggested what she thought might do well in her showroom,
    and we made up a line from there,,, deleting, embellishing and
    changing things a bit,,, like she wanted more bangles,, and sets of
    bangles,,, and wanted me to use more ebony(i make alot of wood
    stuff) suggested that some of it was too "artsy",, whatever that
    means,,,, frowned on using polished brass, mixed with silver, etc
    etc. Bottom line,, meditate on your work and get into it deeply,,,,
    also go back into your art consciousness from the past, and create
    new things using those ideas. Look through MANY art books of
    anything you like, but don't neglect any art field,,, study it all,,
    color, form , feeling, line, sensuousness,,,, experiment,, and do
    studies of ideas. Don't get hooked into the real world of
    things(jewelry) that "have been done" as your only option. Creative
    thinking comes from the meditation,, the hand, the feel, the look,
    the idea. Make more than one model of something(many),, with
    different twists, etc. dp
