Hello Floor and All; My name is Thomas Mercer, I am sixty years old retired. A member of the Osage Tribe in Oklahoma and live in Poughkeepsie New York. I attended the “Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe New Mexico back in the early 1970’s there I studied silversmith and lapidary. My interest are fishing…astronomy…rock collecting…bead collecting and Egyptology. I have been around beads of all kinds my entire life. I still have the first Venetian millefiori bead given to me back in the 1950’s. I am a bead collector only and do not sell or trade beads. I collect all kinds of beads and bead like things. If I like it is in my collection. If it is not in my collection it is because I cannot find it or I cannot afford it. The largest portion of my collection is Venetian millefiori/mosaic beads. About four years ago Joyce twisted my arm until I joined the BCN. I have been happy and unhappy I did. I have had the privilege to meet several of the forum members and enjoyed the meetings. They are all very interesting nice people. My posting name DOGBONECRAZY, is a childhood nick name for the early 1950’s. Here is a photograph of me at the local Oktoberfest back in September of 2008. Have a laugh Sincerely Thomas Mercer Dog Bone Crazy
