Hello Orchidland,

    A question was raised: 

>      Are the customers going to understand why one artist selling
>     sterling silver or gold designs (traditional methods used) has
>     higher prices than the artist next door who has designs set with
>     stones using PMC priced for less?

    As someone who has sold both metal clay pieces and traditional
    sterling work in the same case, I priced the metal clay higher than
    the sterling.  The original cost of material plus a calculated
    firing cost are enough to bump up the price. 

    It's been said before.  Metal clays are a tool.  They have some
    nifty attributes and some definite limitations.  Useful for some,
    worthless for some, and overall generating lots of discussion! <G> 
    Someone said there is no bad publicity... metal clays are really
    getting lots of attention in this thread. 

    "And that's all I have to say about that." 

    Judy in Kansas, where it's a gorgeous day - sunny, low '60s with
    light breeze.  WHY am I cooped up inside???
