Yeah, yeah, but I'm a moderately crafty woman who is paranoid about lighting things like gas stoves and I took a welding class at the local community college. It was an art welding class and not a trade class full of serious guys, and I learned oxy acetylene (sp?) and MIG welding in just a few months. It's seriously cool, not nearly as hard as you think, and opens a HUGE variety of things I can do now. You and John should take an evening class together!Vanessa Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687868555242718263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-795443966588096662013-04-14T09:58:20.330-04:002013-04-14T09:58:20.330-04:00I can't figure out Polyvore either, but I look...I can't figure out Polyvore either, but I look at it to help my daughter pick out outfits. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-66089711619219391462013-04-14T00:31:11.176-04:002013-04-14T00:31:11.176-04:00Oh, wow, that second link is pure gold!

It seems like if nothing else, you could weld them yourselves, or just find some other kind of metal-frameworked something that you could appropriate as light cages.<br /><br />I too have avoided touching polyvore. Though it's interestingly one of the things I've seen recommended to me by tons of different circles... geeky friends love it, goth friends love it, super-into-fashion friends love it, the few "normal" people I know love it...
