    I spent 5 years working only in gold---doing custom work for two
    stores, and in a gold jewelry factory. When it's the only material in
    the shop, it starts to be like play-doh! 

    It is best to remember that you can melt it down and roll it out
    again. (like play-clay) Keeping that in mind takes some of the fear
    of failure out of the situation. 

    Furthermore, as another aid to removing fear: when I use gold that I
    re-melted myself, I try to design the piece to be textured, so that
    I don't have to worry about a perfect melt and roll...
