Hi,

    I don't wear any of the rings or neclaces I make...but I always wear
    a sterling chain bracelet I made during an outdoor exhibition
    demonstration in the main square of Ibiza town Good Friday
    1998...there was a howling wind that blew my torch flame sideways on
    occasion, and I was surrounded by hundreds of people who were out
    for the procession of the penitents...you may have seen pictures of
    these walkers in their robes and KKK style pointy hoods...a bit
    creepy to N.European and US eyes. Also I was under critical scrutiny
    from the exhibition organisers, who didn't then know me, and needed
    to see that I could actually make the stuff I was selling....no
    pressure there eh?...so I always wear it just to remind me of when
    the going was really tough, and I got going as they say....
