Outside the Monastery

The toadfish bead is shown as sold
was it maybe a one of a kind?
maybe we could contact someone and see if they have more?

Those are handmade beads, so they're all one of a kinds...and the dates on most of that persons stuff was 2004--with prices in the $29-$59 range.

It may be new hobby time for somebody out there.

Chatty, just saw your Weatherwaxian Headology line. Spent most of this weekend rereading  Hatfull of Sky and tackling Thud for the first time. Bottle of wine and a book (with occasional breaks to extend the power and glory of Rome on the computer  )

[Sibling Chatty]

I'd love to think i'm more Nanny Oggish, but that's only in appearance. I admit I am a practitioner of Headology.

I'm on tenterhooks waiting for the third Tiffany book to come out. Thud gave some great backstory for the 'way things are' and yet told a wonderful story of its own.

There are times that Prachett keeps me sane.

Read 'Maskerade' recently...  and I'm even more Oggish than I thought previously.  Not so much a Nanny, though.

We're currently debating whether or not to let a friend do us a needlework of the Mona Ogg or of some other Prachettian subject. She has a new expensive program that scans a photo into a pattern with instructions, and we all love the Mona Ogg. (Famous for being the painting in which the subjects teeth seem to follow you around the room.)

The baggage had the temerity to tell me that it looked like me when I was 20... Sadly, she wasn't far off.

I once worked on a stage performance of Wyrd Sisters as a puppeteer for flying scenes and general scene shifter. Pratchett came to the final night performance and party and whilst he was very funny he was a bit of a pompous oaf at the same time. I suppose being the biggest selling adult authour around might do that to you!

I do still have my signed script and stage directions somewhere.

I like to think of myself as Vimesish but am afraid I may be more Colonic
