to Marlin,

    Thank you for your recommendations. I have McCreight's Complete
    Metalsmith, and need to get Untracht's books - the price of one is
    the reason I don't already have it. I I have saved your list and I
    will look for the books. Codina's book looks good too. 

    to Wayne Louis Werner, 

    Thank you for the ABE source, I will check it out! I am looking at
    Revere's class schedule and granulation is not on the latest
    calendar, but I will keep checking. A cursory search gave me nothing
    on Bakakis and Johns, but I have seen some beautiful work by others,
    many on this list. 

    I see that Janet Alix has a shop in Mill Valley. Her work is
    beautiful too. 

    Yes I'm in the bay area, and haven't asked Ronda yet b/c I want to
    make sure to do my best to respect her time. If she teaches a
    granulation class at Revere, or even somewhere else close by, that
    would be the best way to begin, IMO. 

    I am confident that some day I will produce *one successful example*
    of granulation (my short term goal) and then go on to the next goal,
    produce another one! And learning along the way. 

    I have been very successful with chain mail jewelry. At the
    suggestion of another Orchid member, I have purchased Jean Stark's
    Classical Loop-in-Loop Chains and their Derivatives. So next I will
    fuse fine silver instead of making chains with mostly open
    (unsoldered, unfused) jump rings. That might help bridge my
    education gap on the way to what I want. 

    I have an affinity for small, nitpicky repetitive multi-step projects
    and a passion to create granulated things. And, I have a torch...
