Intro and newbie question

As another person with an 'odd' website addy, I was just wondering the reason why you spell "Belisama" the way that you do, instead of the standard "bellissima".

beautiful front page, btw.

Thanks for the compliments! It's been a labor (not so much of love, LOL!) and I'm glad its almost done.

You know, that logo/header thing is an interesting story. When I hired the graphic designer to do my site, I just gave her a general idea of what I wanted and showed her my business card logo. She came back with that image having never seen me in person or even a photo. It looks so much like me that my own sister thought it ~was~ me! It's really uncanny... But it isn't, she just modified a stock photo. She says that happens all the time with custom work. She ends up making images that strongly resemble the person she is doing the work for (obviously, if they are female)though she's never seen them! Pretty cool, huh?

Ahh, because it isn't bellissima as in Italian for beautiful, its Belisama as in the Celtic/Gaul goddess of light and fire, the forge, and the arts. A great patron for lampworking, eh? ;) Somewhere on my website I have an explanation of my business name, the about me page, I think?

Belisama is pronounced bell-eh-sah-mah, so I never even thought people might think it was a variation on bellissima. I have had people prounounce it like bellissima a few times, though!

Thanks for the compliment :-D

Oh - that's way cool. I"m not particulary 'up' on Celtic mythology, so thank you for the lesson!
