Hi Larry,

    No, there is certainly no bias against fused glass or dichroic glass
    on my part. In fact, much of what I have seen is very lovely,
    creative, well executed,and well set. But unfortunately rarely are
    they seen at shows. I remember some spectacular pieces of jewelry
    incorporating glass that were featured some years ago in either
    "Ornament," or American Craft." They were just fabulous. It would be
    nice to see more work using non-traditional materials in creative
    ways. 

    The person I was referring to was like the one you described---mass
    producing stuff that took little skill, imagination or creativity.
    The stones," were glued in plated bezels, and hung on cheap chains,
    or rat tail. 

Alma
