    hi. thank you all who responded to my post. i gained some insight
    into my plan thanks to your posts. since i am already proficient at
    working with gold, i plan on slowly testing some pieces in my current
    market. i plan on making some pieces in gold and silver, while being
    aware that i can take them apart later at much less expense than
    committing the whole piece to gold. i sent in my scrap to hoover this
    past week and will start with that return as a base for my gold
    pruchasing. i plan on giving myself a year to convert, and a year to
    make sure that is what i think is appropriate as far as designing and
    planning for materials. part of the reason i think about switching is
    that i fabricate everything, and with my new designs i am spending a
    whole lot of time making the work...in silver, which can only yeild
    so much profit. i am tired of doing production work and want and need
    a new challenge...why be self employed and BORED? perhaps more time
    spent making a piece will be better for me financially in gold than
    in silver. perhaps it will be more challengin to me, in the fat that
    i will be limited as far as materials...perhaps it will open me up as
    far as what materials i feel are worth putting into my designs
    (colored gemstones, etc) i am not interested in making the big bucks,
    i am just interested in making a nice little living doing what i love
    to do. so thank you for your input and advice. please don't stop
    giving advice if you still have it! 

most sincerely, joanna
