james -

    the original information posted was that the 'designer' was in a
    beginning metalsmithing class - ergo: she knew little if anything
    about fabricating, etc. jewelry yet she was entering shows with
    other people's work based on [according to her] 'her designs'. the
    only way she could have gotten into any rated shows was by NOT
    telling the juries she had not actually produced the finished pieces
    [lying], so it was not up to the authorities to say yea or nay on an
    issue of which they were ignorant; trust those of us who do rated
    shows, she wouldn't have gotten into the first show on 'designs'
    done by other parties. my contention is that they probably were/are
    not even her designs, since, while it is possible but not likely, to
    do designs without a working knowledge of the mechanics [recall the
    beginning metalsmithing] it really 'ain't gonna happen' enough to
    get by.
