OK let’s have some fun with today’s photo. It’s a piece that definitely DOES require explanation. But rather than just blurting out the whole story, I’m curious to<\/span> see if anyone can guess what it is and what it might be used for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note the cool texture of the hammered copper wire, flowing elegantly like a meandering stream on a crisp spring morning. At the end of this shiny metallic brook (or the beginning depending on your artistic interpretation)<\/em>, is a sculpted turquoise bead. From the angle of the photo, the shape of this beads appears to be whimsical. But what is it? And what does it represent?<\/span><\/p>\n

Does the bead shape and color provide some special clue as to the true meaning of this special piece of jewelry? Or maybe… this isn’t jewelry at all!?<\/span><\/p>\n

So many questions. But who has the answers?<\/span><\/p>\n

METAPHORICAL HINT:<\/span><\/strong> Deep within the pages of this archive of knowledge, you will find the wisdom for which you seek.<\/span><\/p>\n

HINT IN ENGLISH:<\/strong><\/span> Click through the pages of my blog. I’ve written about this topic before… at least a couple of times. And in one of these articles is a word that could actually be misconstrued to mean something completely different.<\/span><\/p>\n
