Driving to work today, I saw a squirrel using the overhead powerlines to cross a busy street, just like a tightrope walker. I thought, now that is clever, and that is how I started my day with a smile.

The moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator and equalizes night and day is calculated exactly every year and Iranian families gather together to observe the rituals.

Brushed Copper Beads Design Challenge

2011-03-19T10:14:00.002-04:00

Check out this spring's challenge sponsored by Rings and Things Blog . I love to use copper in my designs. I think the brilliant color of copper warms up any design. Check out the Rings and Things Blog and take their design challenge.

I didn't know these facts about copper , did you?

Copper is the most versatile and durable of all metals and has been called "man’s eternal metal". Copper is malleable, ductile and long lasting. Copper is a better conductor of heat and electricity than any other metal except silver. Without copper, there might never have been an electric light or space flight. This miraculous mineral and its alloys are at the heart of all technology, from telecommunications to transportation.
One of copper’s major advantages is that it is recyclable. In North America alone, approximately one half of the copper consumed annually comes from recycled material. Copper’s recycle value is so great that premium-grade scrap has at least 95% of the value of primary copper from newly mined ore.
The Statue of Liberty contains 179,000 pounds of copper.

Here is some great designs I found using brushed copper beads.

'happy birthday to me and all naturally wild women out there!' by vonderschonenrapunze

yes, the end of february is my birthday. it is strange how my tastes have changed over the years. i still love my amethyst but it seems now that I prefer it chunky, raw and unfettered by the notion that society will only love you after you have been cut, polished and put in a particular setting. don't get me wrong, I like pretty polished things, but this year i want it like like my sashimi....raw!

Finds From A Land Far-Far Away on Etsy

2010-10-28T11:46:00.000-04:00

I was born in Tehran/Iran and came to United States in 1977 to continue my education and ended up staying here. Today, just out of curiosity decided to look up on Etsy for items from Iran. I didn't expect to find anything, but I was pleasantly surprised, everything from food and recopies to photos and jewelry. Here is a sample of what I found. If you are into sweets, I recommend the Persian Rose Pistachio Nougats.
