I absolutely love the metal work around this piece. It would look beautiful on an angora turtleneck. I do believe it's time for you to be publishing another book, my friend. It's been awhile since "Magical Ancient Beads" and you've posted so many beautiful and informative pieces since that time. Alas, I sent my extra signed book plate to Joy B, so I'd need to bother you for another one. (grin)

Perhaps one day my dream of seeing a "trade" bead calendar with artwork from our forum members and a new book from you will be realized. Until then, I have this forum, which is a haven to me.

At this time of "thanksgiving" celebrations in the USA, I'd like to, once again, thank our hosts Joyce and David, and all of the artists and collectors who make my day a little bit brighter. My life is frought with "hectic" from caring for an aging parent and teenage daughters, and this board brings comfort to me daily. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
