    Ars longa vita brevis 

    do what you want to abstract is abstract..realism realism,,,love is
    hot but truth molten! i've seen and bought your work/book..immature -
    i think not..you are just scared by bigger... it seemed as though you
    had a concept with your request for hundreds of prong settings last
    week...what happened..? at one time i made mardi gras floats for a
    living ( gold leafing for weeks! and fist sized hand fabricated prong
    settings), and did some of the River Guard and mer-people, Neptune
    and his consorts and gigantic strings of pearls- sculptures for the
    1984 world's fair in New Orleans--- bigger shows more details, but
    usually has to be viewed from a distance. Last week at the mountain
    arts fair there were a bunch of young kids doing metal sculpture, I
    remember this 19 yr old girl that was from asheville, and had great
    metal pieces, but titles even more better! I'll find the link and
    send it later..you may be interested..So don't worry about your
    artistic maturity..you are published, your stuff sells, you teach and
    are nationally known...did you ever decide to go to clasp?..maybe
    this is your rationalizatiion for the expenditure- timely breakdown
    with questioning yourself,no?...that exploring your muse advertising
    got you?...anyway..create...art lives life is short..
