Ok, you are heading to a small get together or large party and you know that you will not know many of the other guests. Alternatively, you want people (or maybe that cutie!) to have an easy way to approach you. In these situations, wear something that is highly likely to be a good conversation starter. For example, if hats are your thing, choose one that that people will be prompted to ask you about it. Even easier, is to wear a unique and funky jewelry accessory (called wearable art) that will quickly catch people’s attention and gives them an easy in to ask you about it.

Bring your own conversation piece

Wearable art is a fantastic conversation prop, providing a non-threatening way to start a conversation. Actually, you are giving people an excuse to come and talk to you. You make yourself more approachable and interesting because you are wearing (”Come say hi to me!”) something about you that is an obvious talking point. These jewelry fashion props are natural conversation starters. They encourage conversation and others will be more naturally compelled to start a conversation with you.

Jewelry adds to your body language

Jewelry reflects the ultimate style and personality of the person wearing it. Zany and colorful wearable art works best, it shows you have spirit, are playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. People are naturally attracted to this.

Timely Fashion

Wearing watches just to tell time is outdated and out of fashion. Creative and artistically creative watches are now the hottest, must have accessories. Both sexes are buying watches that are as fashionable as they are functional. Look for watch art with unique colors, design, shapes, or other significant characteristics. They stick out and help you get that conversation started.

Best bet: Never leave home without your wearable art conversation prop!

Walk into any beading store, and once you can tear your gaze away from the amazing variety of beads, you might manage to find the thread section. This is a great opportunity to get completely bamboozled. There are many different types of threads used in beading, so how do you work out which one you need for your project? Let’s take a look at what’s available.

Tiger Tail and Beading Wire

There are many variations, but beading wire and tiger tail are basically multiple strands of steel wire covered in plastic or nylon. They are easy to use, come in a variety of gauges, and are particularly good for making jewelry. They’re also quite durable, but may be a little difficult to use if you’re using knots between beads. Tiger tail is cheaper and can be used for most things, but can sometimes kink when being used. It’s easiest to finish pieces made with tiger tail or beading wire using crimps, rather than knots.

Synthetic Beading Threads

Nymo is one of the most popular synthetic threads, and as it’s very fine, is often used for more delicate beadwork. Polyester thread is another option. Generally these threads are used for beadwork that requires needles. Make sure you allow plenty of extra thread if you’re going to be weaving or knotting synthetic threads.

Natural Threads

Silk, linen, cotton and leather are all natural materials that can be used when making beaded jewelry. They’re available in a multitude of colors and thicknesses, although some of the very fine silk and linen threads can be easy to break and must be handled carefully. You can also use hemp for beading, but it’s generally reserved for chunkier designs, and can be knotted or braided for a great effect.

Elastic Thread

Again, this can be found in a variety of thicknesses. This type of thread is great for kids to work with, because they can simply tie the ends together when they’ve finished beading and it stretches when you want to put the jewelry on or take it off.

Memory Wire

Memory wire is strong, precoiled wire, and is used extensively for making chokers, rings and bracelets. You need heavy-duty tools for cutting memory wire. Although it’s a type of wire, it can’t be used for wirework, and beads are threaded onto it in a similar fashion to the threads listed above.

Metal Wire

Metal wires come in copper, silver, gold and brass, as well as silver or gold-plated. These are mostly used for wirework methods of beading, because they can be bent and manipulated into any shape you want. Some of the finer gauge wires are only suitable for decoration purposes, but heavier gauge wires can be used for any type of wire wrapping. It’s important to take care when working with metal wires, and in particular, protect your eyes when cutting them.

Now when you visit your beading store, you’ll at least know what some of the threads you can see are used for. Think about your beading project, including the weight of the beads and the size of their holes, when deciding which thread or wire will be most suitable. Always try to choose the strongest thread possible, so that your piece will be durable, but remember that you still want it to be flexible and have some movement.

The first time I heard of Da Vinci Code, I didn’t pay much attention. All I know is that it is a novel and that’s it. But when it made noise because of its controversial twists, mysteries, arguments, and why Catholics does condemn this book, I got so curious to the point of asking my parents (who are so religious) to buy me a copy of the book. Of course they didn’t buy me one but I made a way to have a copy. I didn’t have enough money to buy the book that time so I just asked my friend to lend me her book. She was so kind enough to entrust her copy to me. I read the book and finished it after two weeks (I’m not a book worm that’s why I’m kind slow in reading books). And yes, it is true and I can attest that the story is unbelievable. There are some parts in the story where it lets me think and analyze, and there are parts that makes me ask ‘what?’ and ‘how is that?’

Some of us think that this is a genius book. Some consider it as a typical novel. Others say that this is a story that must not be published. But let’s face it, Dan Brown can really write a book that makes noise and controversy. His other works like between angels and demons, and deception point also got the attention of many people. But now Da Vince Code has its own movie, this is now the new talk of the town.

It is now on almost all of the movie screens but it passed through many obstacles such as rejections, objections, and criticisms coming from different kinds of people, sectors, and religions. Up to now, it is still being turned down by the Catholics because they say that it is disrespecting God, Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and many others whom they considered as holy.

Open-mindedness in things or movies such as this doesn’t mean that your faith in God is weak. Oftentimes you will learn many things and gain knowledge if you posses this quality. But many times, you will be misunderstood by the people. Here try to picture this, people are so intelligent that whatever you prohibits them to do, to say, or to watch will make them more curious leading them to do it, to say it, and to watch it. In simple terms, the more you ban the movie, the more they will watch it.

Now, it’s your time to decide. Are you confident with your faith in God that you think it can’t be destroyed by anyone or anything? Do you see that Da Vinci Code the movie is just purely fictional? Or you intend to believe in anything that you see and anything you watch? This is a matter of how shallow or how deep is your intelligence, analyzations, and belief in God.
