Jamacian prickly cactus beads

Post by beetleman »

"YEH MON" these are the real thing. Cactus beads. Round beads are about 10mm in dia. Just imagine the machine that puts little dabs of silicone (?) on these things :shock:

These things are beads...I work at a store that sells beads and jewelry making supplies along with rocks & minerals & some crystals. You can make earrings & necklaces out of them.

hmm, can't say that I think a necklace made out of these things would feel too comfortable...must be for the piercing crowd.

I have never understood the piercing of ones self. There was a guy I worked with and I sware, I would never want to be near him during a thunder or electrical storm. His face looked like a hardware store. Everything had some sort of metal hanging off of it or stuck into it. You could probably take magnets and post notes on his forehead :lol: Anyway Doug, some very colorful and prickly looking subjects, nice! :D

Its people with an inferiority complex Ken who think they would normally never be noticed so try and attract attention in this way. Its a "please look at me" plea, they simply crave attention.

Could be... but I also saw many pretty females with various weird things and could swear they attract attention with or without it. :lol:

But then anorexic females still think they are too fat!
