Addressing the Canny Investor

Why is it that as we get older our handwriting gets really ugly to the point where we can hardly read it?

My handwriting used be gorgeous with a certain flourish. I remember that while in elementary school, all my teachers praised me on it. It was so round, and perfectly clear. It was so pretty that I became the official typewriter of the house.

It was all before the “computer age”, where my mom and grandmother thought my handwriting was so good that, that they always made me spent some of my beautiful treasured weekends putting their recipes together in a booklet, where I had to hand write every single recipe. Of course let’s not forget about the address books,

This was also my chore in some occasions.

So why is it that 15 years later I can’t hardly read my own hand writing?

As I think of it, as I was growing up, I was doing it in a “hurry” or “rush”, always need it to get somewhere at a certain time, or had a deadline that I could not miss. So I started doing everything in a hurry, my assignments, book reports, anything that need it to be done. And then came the computer age, I have been typing everything I do for the last 10 years, there is not a need for hand writing anymore, even kids now days at the elementary school levels are learning how to “write” with a computer.

As for my handwriting, I just make sure that there is a computer with me at all times.

Glass beads present an artistic spectrum of beauty with value. They come in vibrant colors, shape and finishes, and add a magical touch to the product. There are different types of glass beads like Czech glass beads, handmade dichroic glass, Millefiori, lamp work beads and even bumpy glass beads. They are available in different colors and sizes which artisans pick up to complete their canvas.

These beads are sometimes given different types of fancy finishes like Aurora Borealis or druk glass. Where druk glass beads are perfectly rounded and optically polished, multi-colored lamp work bead strands are in shapes ranging from fishes to twisted ovals. Luminous dichroic glass is another bead type which comes in a multitude of shapes. Then there are crackle glass beads. Czech glass beads with a pearl finish are great values because of the high quality and tremendous variety in colors, sizes and shapes.

Since glass becomes molten when heated to a certain temperature, glass artists can create any shape as well as layers, while holding the glass over a flame. A bead with raised decorations, bumps, dots, sparkly feathering, with foil inside or other applied decoration, is most likely a lamp-work bead. Many glass artists produce unbelievably complicated beautiful collectors’ items in glass. The rainbow of colors and textures of beads available today gives infinite design ideas. The number of beads per strand and strands per hank depends on the size and weight of the beads.

There are glass pearls, art glass beads and cane glass beads. You can find glass pearls in all shapes. Glass beads are expensive compared to other beads but enhance the beauty of the product. They can also be added with embroidery pattern or used with sequins as well. A transparent glass bead has the tendency to reflect the base color and can be beautifully used with any color.
