hi noel -

    unfortunately my repeat customers are not the 'hands on' type.
    another factor is that my least expensive piece is $100.00 and there
    just isn't the venue. as i wrote to silani: "the likelihood of being
    seen by one or more of the people who have seen me in the artists'
    section all the other years is great and any explanation i could give
    would sound weak and i wouldn't want to get drawn into the long
    version of this mess & a short version might make them wonder what i
    really did to warrant demotion. 

    i will miss the lost income of $2000.00 to $4000.00 on the tucson
    buying trip, that was a nice return for 7 hours (used to be 6) of
    'work.'

    'stakes' - 'brains' - 'intellect' - 'ability' - they are all
    interchangeable aren't they, noel? 

thanks for the input, it's reassuring -
ive
