[Jewelry making - Article 00353] - [Orchid] Metalsmith's Exhibition in Print

    Has anyone else read the latest Metalsmith magazine, which is the
    annual exhibition in print? 

    I'm just curious to see what Orchidians thought about it. There was
    some very non- traditional work, some of which I liked and some I
    didn't...but seeing as how metalsmithing is something that I've just
    barely started learning, I wondered what some of the more
    experienced jewelry makers thought about it. 

    Do you like the fact that people are using so many non-traditional
    materials, or would you prefer to see more precious metals and
    well-cut stones? What about the piece that was actually a virtual
    piece projected onto the model? I remember reading a comment
    somewhere from someone who was bothered by the inclusion of so many
    non-metal pieces in a recent issue of Metalsmith (which doesn't
    really bother me, but I do see the point).
