    Am I OK  with someone else doing your casting? I guess. My
    assumption though would be that you did the waxes, or at least the 
    original wax that the piece is being cast from and if you had  the
    time you likely had the casting skills as well. 

    I've always resented having "casted work" next to my hand made
    (fabricated  from sheet and wire) . Casting is nothing more than
    reproduction work... and oh, I hate to say this, "similar to PRINTS" 
    There is only ONE  original... the rest are copies!  And I don't,
    honestly think that copies  fit most of the descriptions listed in
    the applications for shows.  But,  I've yet to see them being
    excluded, whether it's a low end or high end  show. It seems that
    casted work is what is featured at most shows.  (Whether  the 
    casting is done by the artist or by a mass  producer.)
