updating my blog

i haven't been able to update this blog lately. anyway, i have quite a lot of products whose pictures deserve to be published on this blog. i will do that tomorrow since i do not have work.

i'll be trying out cold porcelain clay tomorrow. i've researched several recipes already. i am hoping that this will work out right. i didn't really like clay when i was a child, so i don't know if i will be successful in using this medium. anyway, there is always a first time. :)

Superstitious Beliefs Regarding the Origin of Earrings:

• According to legend, evil spirits were thought to be able to enter the body through any of its openings and take control. The first earrings were probably worn to bar the way to these spirits.
• According to another folklore pierced earrings help to strengthen weak eyes. If set with emeralds, they are particularly effective. Gold earrings are often worn by those wishing to cure headaches, though some say to wear one gold earring and one silver for this purpose.
• Back in the days of sailing ships and pirates a man would wear an earring if he had survived a shipwreck, typically a gold hoop, and that is where we get the classic pirate image from.
• One historian attributes the piercing to the desire to punish the ears for overhearing what they should not hear. The earrings, in turn, were the consolation for the pain and suffering. It was believed that the more decorative and expensive the earrings, the greater the consolation. --> THIS ONE'S INTERESTING!!!
