Present in the post

I was delighted to receive a copy of Metalsmith magazine in the post.
The magazine itself looks very readable: I'll be devoting some time to it when I have a quiet moment.

What delighted me about it's arrival wasn't the magazine: but rather what it signifies for me personally.
It was sent to me buy Jon: someone I have never met personally.
Jon is one of the HCJ Project "early worms": helping to discuss and shape the HCJ Project in the forums.
This kind gesture helps convince me, that although progress has been much slower and the work required much greater than I ever expected; that bringing artists and gallery owners together and building a stage to represent handmade contemporary jewellery isn't a crazy one.
It's just allot more work than expected!

Thanks Jon!
