Hi

>     http://www.geocities.com/gtrsolo 

    I took a look at this site. What wonderful work! I found it to be
    similar in style (the piece titled "Ancient Life")to the work of
    Aaron Macsai, a jeweler who employs traditional metal working
    techniques.http://www.aaronmacsai.com 

    It is a big shame that Nanz has lost her position over this. I am
    very sorry for that. I found no offense in the original post that
    would warrant dismissing anyone. 

    I'm in agreement with Mr Binnion. I won't be picking up Art Jewelry
    any time soon. 

    Speaking as someone who is considered to be "just a beader", I think
    there is plenty of room for everyone in the world of jewelry. There
    are a lot of techniques I don't particularly care for, but a lot that
    I do. Personally, I think this whole discussion of whether or not
    metal clay should be considered "real" has been a giant waste of
    time.
