...if you were going to have someone from the forum design a piece for you? Whom would it be?

I know...certainly, I am not even a contender.

I got a Venetian feather bead, it is perhaps an amber colored one with white and blue feathering(right word, probably not) and I have some silver pieces that a friend had that were taken off of a cuff to make it shorter. What I didn't say, is that the feather bead is slightly chipped on the end and I thought it would be neat to have the two pieces of silver turned into caps as some have done with other beads, dZi and agates with broken or chipped ends. Perhaps this should go on the classifieds under "desires."

I think I might choose Tasart.
