    Dee and others - all casts are NOT copies, and all prints are NOT
    copies! I am a printmaker first, and my prints are NOT copies - they
    ARE the originals.  Unfortunately so many painters have prints made
    of their paintings that many people think all prints are copies of a
    painting.  This is not true!  If an image was conceived as a print,
    and never existed in another form, it is an original - not a copy. 
    Lithographs, etchings, serigraphs, collagraphs - can all be
    originals.  When I etch a metal plate, ink it, and print it - it is
    an original, not a copy of something else. Likewise monoprints are
    one-of-a kind originals.  Please don't lump all prints or all
    castings into one pile - they don't fit! 

    Personally, I don't have a problem with an artist selling castings
    where they made the original, as long as they inform the buyer as to
    what is being bought.  It is all about education.  A person who
    starts with less expensive jewelry may well, with education and
    encouragement, move up to higher-priced items with more hand work in
    them.
