    about the definition. 

    Shakespeare had Romeo pose the question of Julliet's family name
    "what is in a name, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet",
    or something close to it. 

    I have resolved this question at least for myself by not answering
    "what I am". Instead I respond by answering what I do. I bend metal
    and I enamel it. And sometimes the metal piece is small enough to be
    worn. I call such pieces art jewellery, but you are willing to call
    it what you wish, including kitsch. 

    I have learned that buyers aren't interested in diplommas and
    degrees, etc. What they are interested in is what the product is.
    And if they believe that they receive value for money thay will buy
    it. 

    Let us define ourselves by our actions and let others create the
    labels.

who stinks a lot like copper so can't be a rose
