How does it make you feel, as a person, an artist, or pusher of Paua
shells,
to see your contribution to the bead word used in a lovely finished
piece?

I totally agree with this. It feels so flattering when someone chooses my
beads to work with.

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!

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!!

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 am not sure what you really mean by this. It sounds like a redundant
statement to me. You wouldn't do something you hate to do, if it didn't
please you to see your things as finished pieces you wouldn't do them.

I think she is saying " how do the componant makers/sellers feel seeing the
pieces used by others" at least that's what I got out of the question. Many of
us sell things that get used in larger creations by others.

You know, SJ, I think that's how I feel using things. Like I'm giving a
party, or celebrating a bead.

Speaking of which, I got my girl beads. They're wonderful, but larger than
I expected, or than I have used before. They're sitting out now, so we can
discuss where they'd like to go celebrate.

In Eskimo carving, the artist works the stone to free the spirit in the rock
so it can show itself. I do my best work when I listen to my materials.
(Sometimes the seem to feel most free to talk surrounded by other material
friends).

I'm glad they arrived, sorry the size was a surprise. I leave them sitting
around too---I have some sitting ontop of colored glass bottles, some sitting
in bowls of beads....

Have fun with 'em!!!

You always have such a good way of saying things, Celine.

I so agree.
