You're exactly right, Kandice!

After some thought I took it to be an interest as to weather I was pleased with the item made. I do love Paua shell and do not look to make a huge profit from the sell as can be easily seen by my prices. My primary goal was to introduce something beautiful to those who have not seen it. I hope I have not offened anyone with my post or sells? If I have I am sorry and will refrain from doing so in the future. I just wanted to offer a product that is unique and perhaps bring some joy to others. Harry |

Harry I am glad that you are a fan of Paua shells. I am happy that there
are other people out there that make beads. However when I create something with the shells and beads that others have supplied. I feel elated and so proud of myself that my fingers have fashioned a beautiful item. In fact I have a lot of things that I have created that I will never wear. I still keep them because I know I shall treasure them and when ever I look at them they remind me of whoever sold me the special something that went into creating it.

Maybe I'm weird, but when I make things that are to be incorporated into
more finished pieces (like beads or murrini), I feel complemented when someone chooses to use MY work in THEIR piece. They do not have to use my items, I'm not the only glassworker out there. But after it leaves my hands, it becomes part of the other artist's piece and I have no control over that. Of course it is always nice when my tastes and the jeweler's tastes are similar so that I like their work, but if our tastes weren't somewhat similar she probably wouldn't use my beads. The only time I had any real feelings about the finished piece was when someone used one of my beads along with some other people's in a gallery show and gave credit to all the beadmakers but me. Probably just an oversight, but it still stung a bit. Oh, and Harry - Rock on with those shells man! -- There are no mistakes, only unexplored techniques If you can't make money, try and make art! "Kandice Seeber" wrote in message ... Well, I try not to look at it as being diminished, but as being different from what I personally do with the things I make. If someone gave one of my creations to a child because it was the wrong color....hmmmmm, I am not sure. I would either be happy for the child, or I might feel the need to explain the kind of work that goes into the piece. I've never had that happen, so I am not sure how I would feel. I have seen some of my beads made into things that I didn't feel were quite right, but that's a subjective thing. I try to tell myself that this person's vision of beauty is just different from my own, and not necessarily wrong. It's hard, though - a couple of times I just cringed. No one here, though!! -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net Actually I've always wonder how an artist feels when the finished piece diminished the element she or he created. Or when you make a great piece and the giftee gives it to a kid because it's the wrong color or whatever. (Something they would not do with a piece of jewelry from a store).

I wasn't fired up at all, just questioning why she was saying what she said
since not everyone here knows her, that is why I said I didn't think she meant any offense. Roxan "Dr. Sooz" wrote in message ... I am not sure what you really mean by this.

Noooooo!!! Do not stop!! Please! The last thing I wanted to do was offend
anyone here. Perhaps if I rephrase my question it would help? But Harry.. .in no way do I want to push you out of here. What a delightful contribution you are to this group, I would sorely miss you and your posts! What I was asking is...as artists and creators of beads and beady things how does it make you feel when someone buys your work and transforms it into jewelry, or .. whatever.. and it becomes something else entirely in your eyes.. a thing of even greater beauty. I asked because I saw Harry's reaction to his Paua shell being wire wrapped, and while I could tell he was pleased I wanted to know more .... what his *or any other artist * first reaction is.. other than WOW. :-) Again, let me apologize for not making my question clearer.

Thank you Sooz, yes. Tho my question may have been ill phrased I meant only
to find out how the artists of this group (and yes, Harry, I consider you an artist) feel when they see the creations of their hands, minds and paua shell tumblers become transformed but the hands and minds of others.
