Thank you, Donna,

    What you say is what I've been trying to get at. Rather than make
    things fast, I think that I need to give myself permission to make
    things that take even longer than what I've been making. When I look
    at the work of the people I admire most-- from Lalique to Namu Cho,
    James michael Sturlin, Andy Cooperman, and so many others-- these
    people are not whipping their pieces out! There are many fine
    metalsmiths, like Barbara Heinrich for example, who have studios
    full of help, and have a genius for designs that have wide appeal
    and can be mass produced. I have no word to say against them. That
    just isn't the way I am able to work, for better or worse.
