Hi all. 
     A little request.

    I know this is poorly timed, what with the Tucson show and all, but
    maybe some of you can still help. 

    In a week, I'll be giving a talk to the local metals guild here in
    Seattle regarding platinum.  It's mostly an introduction into methods
    of working for individual craftspeople, for those folks who've never
    worked it, and aren't sure where to start or how to approach it. 

    But I'd also like to include in the talk, some images of work people
    other than myself have done, preferably from other artists, rather
    than commercial examples, but if you do commercial lines in platinum,
    that too would be welcome. 

    So if any of you, reading this list, work in platinum, or even have
    only experimented with working in platinum,  either by traditional
    fabrication methods or casting, or even by having CAD models cast in
    it, or however you did it, and would like to have your work shown to
    the local group, 

    If you also happen to have decent images documenting specific
    methods or tools you use that would be of technical interest for such
    a talk, these would also be of great help,  adding diversity to the
    images I can take of my own tools and methods. 

    Please email me the images and appropriate info.  Nothing
    specifically fancy needed.  Just a standard digital image file,
    probably a jpeg, in a high enough resolution so it will look decent
    projected in a somewhat smallish room. Include, in your email, of
    course, whatever info you'd like me to also mention, such as your
    name, details of the work, etc.  Things do not need to be entirely or
    even mostly platinum.  Just examples where you've incorporated it in
    your work in some manner.  The images will be used only for this
    talk,  not otherwise published, distributed, altered, or stored, so
    your designs are safe in my care. 

    But Time is somewhat of the essence, since I need to finish putting
    the presentation together this coming weekend. 

thanks.
