the price of silver

is quite simply beyond distressing.

i needed to purchase some silver for a custom project and wanted to throw up.

i have next to nothing in terms of sheet silver, but i cannot bring myself to buy more than enough to squeak by.

i am so discouraged by the almost daily rise in price coupled with my lack of time to create that i have very little motivation to sit down and think of something to make.

the pieces that i really want to make require more silver than i have available to even complete the piece.

let's hope the market levels out soon so my compadres and i can continue to create one-of-a-kind pieces at resonable prices.
