Hi Mike & all,

    This thread has reminded me on how I got into Jewellery making in the
    first place.  I was doing a fine arts diploma and took printmaking
    there. I am one of those printmakers that falls in love with the
    plates, rather than the resulting prints.  I used a cancelled copper
    plate that had deeply etched sections in it and cut it up.  A
    sterling silver 'frame' around it or set in a bezel, they looked
    really good. I have given up fine art for now (maybe for ever!) and
    I'm just concentrating on jewellery. I'd forgotten about the copper
    plates until this thread, it has prompted me to get out my old plates
    and have another look at them! I work mainly in Silver Clay and I
    hope the two will combine well. There will always be people with
    strong likes and dislikes for materials and designs, that's OK by me,
    it might not be fair, but it's only a small unfairness in the scheme
    of things. 

    I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for all the
    wonderful help freely given in this forum, it insipers me in many
    ways. Thank you all! 

Cheers from Oz,
Maggie
