Joyce, I think they'd make lovely belt buckles, too, don't you?

I love reading and looking at everyone's posts here. I am more of an observer/student than a participant, as I am pitifully lazy about learning our (new) digital camera (we had to buy one as our art major college student plans a semester in Florence this fall, lucky young woman!). So, I just say, "ooh" and "aah" and ask a question here and there. With our hundreds of readers and posters, it's okay to just be an observer, right?

What I'm trying to say is: if everyone felt unsure about posting before they did, nobody would, and the forum would be one huge bore. I miss Steve's beadscapes, but I'm enjoying Charles' humor-laden, beautiful bead posts. As I've said before, this forum is a haven and good company for my morning cup of java.

I never, ever pass up a post of yours, Bob... and when I see "img" next to it, I am more eager to click on the link to get me there. I have a co-worker/friend traveling (again) to Tibet this summer, and I've tried to get him to write to you to inquire about beads and/or stones/jewelry. His name is also Bob. It's a small world when you pull folks together, as this forum does.

Thanks, again, to Joyce and David.
