    I went and looked at your cuff. It is very nice. I would like to
    know why you chose to make this in hammered PMC, rather than using
    traditional metalsmithing techniques? Was it just for curiosity's
    sake, or were there other considerations? The finished cuff looks no
    different than a traditionally forged cuff. 

    I am curious about metal clay, but can't yet see a use for it that
    would transcend traditional techniques or design. Not a criticism,
    just a personal observation.
