When I'm stuck that's where I go look =)<BR/><BR/>Super cool bead.

Thank you for the co...Mallory, you're so kind! Thank you for the compliment :) I'm thinking I like Nonia for this bead. Since you mentioned it, I did my favorite thing to do-- googled it. One thing I found was that Nonia was the name of a Roman emperor's wife. Interesting. She is a lovely bead, and would still be a lovely bead if you wanted to call her Red and Blue bead, ya know? Oh, hey, Red and Blue could be shortened to R&B, and that brings up more possibilities for your name collection. <BR/><BR/>I'm with Deb. When you've found the right name, you just know it. Sometimes my sculptures refuse to let me know their names for months!angelinabeadalinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13695157801736043777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7975088353842449737.post-7333106569809621372009-01-05T10:59:00.000-06:002009-01-05T10:59:00.000-06:00You've got this right next to your feed the koi ga...You've got this right next to your feed the koi game...and doesn't she look just like a fancy koi? Maybe you could look up some of the names they give koi breeds.<BR/><BR/>Also you could look up Greek, Egyptian and Roman mythology names...a lot of them are fantastical deep sea creatures and that's the first thing I thought of when I saw this piece. Sort of an exotic jellyfish.<BR/><BR/>Or you could make things sound Latin by adding 'tus' and 'num' at the end....like Blue Tail Lavatus (because it looks like a drop of molten lava with a tail)<BR/><BR/>Just some more thoughts to confuse you lol!Sue Choppers-Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02342344644391371545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7975088353842449737.post-88980968328476090212009-01-05T05:41:00.000-06:002009-01-05T05:41:00.000-06:00Aww Mallory - Thank you so much for the compliment...Aww Mallory - Thank you so much for the compliment. I struggle with names at times.<BR/><BR/>Some styles are harder to name than others - & some colour combinations seem to be more difficult to find an original name for as well.<BR/><BR/>I've found that when you say them out loud when looking at the bead - the right one kind of slaps you when you say it - you just know that bead is a 'Nonia' ;o)<BR/><BR/>The security verification for this comment is 'drizin' - now that could be a cool name as well - I imagine that on an earthy warm coloured organic bead.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05152008716680160516noreply@blogger.com
