| Original Message: WHY WE SHOULDN'T make a special gallery of "beads with names" |

1) How are we supposed to do that here with this old forum technology? We are limited to 2 images per post, can't create sub categories, can't edit for very long, and it becomes a nested mess. We need a different format for such a project. 2) the center of any definition is easy. It is the borders of the definitions that cause argument. For instance, we all know a Venetian Wedding Cake bead.... but the decoration style varies hugely and some beads neglect the floral aspect of the trailings while others have only the 'rose'. Plus, there are all those Wedding Cake beads made in other countries. Let's not fight. 3) If everyone starts using the same names, then all the good beads will end up in the same category, and the people with the most money to spend will win the beads. The only hope for someone like me is to find beads that DON'T carry the name d'jour. I'm out there hunting for "Aunt Betty's Easter necklace". 4) Name lists stifle creativity. We should all make up our own names. Get busy, and think of something NEW! Sooooooo boooooring, yawn, same old names. 5) Make Pudgy do all the work.
