What's in a name?

I like naming things differently each week. Call it a hangover from being a linguist, but I know most bead makers think names are important. In my search for ever new ideas for names, I don't always get it right. Sayings, for example, seem to evoke a more direct response than, say, place names or ...(I know!!!) Vulcan words (I was particularly stuck that week). So, something is definitely in a name. I already picked the category of names for this week, although this week won't be particularly productive. So meet: "Into Temptation". Question is: What will it be next week?

  1. Wow love that colour combo the black really makes the pink stand out. I know what you mean about names, I think it is important for my jewellery pieces especially the lampwork ones to have names, but sometimes I get a huge mental block and it can be really hard.
    BTW I have moved my blog to http://beadypool.blogspot.com if you fancy popping by and my tagging reply is on my todo list :) It's a busy busy week in Beady Pool land!

  4. Thank you all, lol. Unfortunately, I've made so few beads this week, my clever idea of using Crowded House lyrics will go almost entirely unnoticed...ah well :)
