On the plus side, since I'm not working with precious metal, except for some silver wire, the metal cost is very reasonable. <br /><br />Sounds like you two had a great time.

I buy the best that I can afford and keep my eye out for sales.

Thats right THE WORK involved in their casting and developing their focals. Did you see the price per pound on my Blog here? I was told today by Moretti and Moore that glass has just sky rocketed. But fortunately many Glass suppliers have alot of sales now. Why..bc of a bad economy.
