T> Egads! I'm old enough to be your mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there's a new magazine - or at least one i had not seen before - called "Art Jewelry" that i picked up tonight at BnN. it says it is from the publishers of Bead & Button. several PMC things, wire and metal - nice pictures and instructions.

Yeah, I just saw that on Friday! It was pretty neat, but there wasn't anything spectacular enough for me to buy it. Maybe down the road a while, when I am setting stones, and smithing....(that's the plan, anyway....oh, and melting glass ;o) I did notice it wasn't as engulfed in ads as the others; that may just be because it's new.

You know, I only have ONE bookstore within driving distance that sells Beadwork??? Just realized that.

i'm planning ahead. not for melting glass, but for more wire-work and PMC.

I was born in '81!

(sorry to reply late, got a bit behind...)

COOL! My best friend was born in '81, my brother in '82. I don't feel like such a baby anymore! LOL ;o)

Sooo...got any piercings?? ;o) LOL!

ROFL! Had my ears pierced when I was 5... they did the first one and I leapt off the stool, tears in my eyes, and nearly refused to let them do the other one! It HURT! It was only the thought of going round with only one ear pierced that made me think "ok, lets get it over with"!

Hey, same here. ;-)

Honey, I graduated high school in the year you were born. I do have pierced ears, although during my Punk period (you won't remember, you were an infant), I had a pierced nose and safety pins through my double ear holes. My hair was shorter than most boys' hair is today.

I look like a totally respectable matron these days, with my one set of ear piercings (with big diamond studs, of course), long hair in a sensible French Braid and wardrobe from Lands' End. It's hard to reconcile the "now" me with the younger, wilder, me. (I like us both)

My husband always worries that DD will get a mohawk or dye her hair pink or something. That stuff doesn't scare me. Permanent stuff or stuff with dangerous consequences scares me. She wants her bellybutton pierced? Fine. (but all her friends who have had pierced bellybuttons got infections and had to have them removed, after much pain). She wants pink hair? Hair grows out, and I bet a buck she wouldn't do it twice. Ditto with the Mohawk.

Messing around with drugs and the unsavory types that are involved with drugs would not be fine. Drinking alcohol under the legal age would not be fine, either - since girls are in far more danger of rape, asault or auto accidents when they are intoxicated.

Back off my soapbox,

Double pierced ears (first set at 19, second set in 2002 when my dd had hers pierced. According to her friends, I'm now 'cool.') Don't need/want any other holes, thanks. :-)

I graduated at age 17, in 1980. I certainly don't think of myself as a baby, especially now that I get those horrible advertisements that say "Were you born between 1918 and 1964?"

That demographic not only includes me and my younger siblings, but also my parents and grandparents. Yeah, we all have the same wants and needs.
