No, no! That is not what I said! As I understand the whole thing here, 
the straightforward/correct way to do things does not get me the results 
I want (and I do not see how I can obtain that otherwise) so I turn to 
unconventional ways to reach my goal. Personally, I think that is an 
acceptable artistic way to do things.

I, modern Vermeer, do not paint the earring but glue the photograph of 
one in its place (collage) :-)
