- I made a necklace

Strung with brown Druk glass, carnelian and silver spacers. Silver clasp. Strung on Beadalon. About 16″ (choker length). Coral bead from Mingei World Imports. Other beads from my [...] [21 Jan 2008]
- Mike Huckabee, Christiofacist
- UPDATE: You may also be interested in The Boston Globe’s editorial Islamofascism’s ill political wind.
