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. Barbara Penguintrax.com |

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? "bluemaxx" wrote in message ... Welcome, Candace. Your website has a great setup and loaded fast... and I especially like the flaming colors! Your gallery-test pages are cool, too - your lampwork sets use diverse colors and I especially like the orangey-amber set on page 1 and the gray, black & white on page 2... . And is that a picture of you in the ... err... header at the tope of the page... or whatever it's called? -- Linda "*~Candygrrl~*" wrote in message om... : Sure!

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!

Hi Candace! Welcome!
-Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay *~Candygrrl~* wrote: Hello everyone! I'm new to the group and thought I should post the obligatory intro My name is Candace and I live in Pelham, a suburb slightly south of Birmingham, AL. I'm a lampworker and I obsessively collect beads of all types. I've been melting glass since 1997 and collecting beads since I was 3 and swallowed 10 at once. Mom had to clarify the definition of "collecting" to me. Seemed like a good idea at the time... Let's see, I'm a recovering office worker and recent full time glass artist, yay! I found out about this group from Kandice's webpage *waves at Kandice* and some of you may know me from various other online boards. I'm Candace or candygrrl at most of those. I lurk more than I post generally, but hopefully I can change that here I think that covers all the intro stuff, now for my newbie question. Can someone clarify the rules for the usenet group? For example when are you supposed to put things like AD or the like in the subject line? I tried to find out on my own, but wasn't too successful. I've never participated in a usenet group. Thanks! I'm looking forward to participating here Candace |

Oh - that's way cool. I"m not particulary 'up' on Celtic mythology, so thank
you for the lesson! "*~Candygrrl~*" wrote in message om...
