Well said!

    Art and Fear are enemies. I run into people worrying about this,
    about copyrights, and all of it and wonder how much they are
    stifleing their own creative energy. 

    Besides, there really isn't much new -- people have been making
    jewelry for thousands of years. And it's interesting to me that the
    people who DO come up with something different are usually the ones
    so willing to share their techniques.
