    Hi Julia  I have come to the conclusion and the realization that I
    am not going to rule the universe or the world for that matter let
    alone become a multi millionaire by making jewelery. I am at peace
    knowing that I can only work a few hours a day and can only produce
    two or three pieces a week if I am lucky. I entered a contest a few
    years ago and actually won I had to go up to scottsdale to get my
    award. It was at this real fancy hotel and all the owners of the
    best stores in the state  were their and when  they asked me where
    my store was I told them it was in my laundry room and it was by
    appointment only. All kidding aside I was real surprised to win
    since it was a contest for jewelers from all over the state and most
    of them except me were being backed by some real nice stores. After
    that award my head swelled up pretty big and I had trouble fitting
    it my tiny shop. I suddenly thought that my back wasnt so hairy my
    feet werent very big and my double chin was actualy a storng jaw
    line. My wife slapped me back to reality though. I wish that part of
    the spectrum awards was that the maker had to wear it for the length
    of the gem show, some of that stuff is nuts it is totally
    unwearable. I dont want to pee in anyones punch but we are supposed
    to make it wear able if it is not then it should be called
    sculpture.
