    Mike, I also do most of my work in copper, and have had a lot of
    positive response to it. I sell in our local museum gallery store,
    and they actually love the work because it is different from most of
    the other jewelry they sell. There are however a few people who have
    snubbed thier noses at it and commented that "if only it were in
    silver, I would buy it". The point that they don't get is that each
    metal offers it's own unique characteristics and surface beauty. I
    choose copper for some pieces because it simply works better than
    another metal. When it ages it becomes even more lovely in my
    opinion. Please don't give up on copper, there are many people who
    appreciate it's inherent qualities ! Ignore the ignorant commentary
    and carry on with your work !! Much Luck, Rebecca
