I'm sure it is also considered defacing currency to place a penny on the rail road tracks, or to use a gold coin as a pendent. But then the government hasn't ground to a halt because the citizens of the world have horded coins and currrency in jars, coffee cans and safe deposit boxes either.

I deleted the comment for two reasons ~ first because it irked me that the reader didn't choose to leave his/her name and second because it didn't pertain in any other way about my post. However, it did leave me curious. So I "googled" the subject "deface US currency." I found no absolute answer. But, it does seem that I may have unintentionally done an illegal act in the name of art and therapy.

I only buy one every couple of years, but hey, it is so MY business! LOL <BR/><BR/>I admit, I love clearance...and I love to stock up on supplies when they are marked down, but that never stopped me from paying full price for materials when I need them.

If we've inspired you to do bead embroidery, I'm a happy camper!<BR/><BR/>Girl of Fall ~ The "Thou shalt" comes from a poem I wrote about 10 years ago called <I>Commandments</I>. It's written in biblical style, as though these "rules" about money were given me by a "higher power," because that's how much I'm controlled by them. Does that make any sense?<BR/><BR/>Helene H ~ Wow! To be compared with French poet and singer, Serge Gainsbourg... OMG... that's awesome. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Allie ~ Oh dear heart... What high praise! I don't feel I deserve it though, because it all just sort of happened. It wasn't planned to be artistic, only to serve my personal need for change.<BR/><BR/>Vicki W ~ Yes, the same with us. My husband never used to save and I never used to spend. We've both moderated under the other's influence. Nice, huh!<BR/><BR/>Lois B ~ Interesting that you mention the key and bell. My hope that every time I hear the sound of a bell, I will give some money away, even just a little. And, every time I have a key in my hand, it will remind me that the key to contentment is not money.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700778413231259614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-68631017393311858482007-10-10T12:41:00.000-07:002007-10-10T12:41:00.000-07:00Amazing piece!

Yes, I do recognize myself from your money issues list... except for the cheap motels, since I'm the one who pulls up at the rest area and sleeps in my car! XD And I have never yet had that buyers remorse about beads or fabric. Money has been a recurring issue in my life, and I appreciate using the $100 bill for this piece. It made me realize that, whether I have money or not, I have only had a $100 bill in my hands less than 5 times in my whole life. Interesting. The tiger is so beautiful and peaceful there behind the money, too. I particuarly like the key and little bell, which made me think of the things that money can mean in life, even though, really, it is just a piece of paper. In the long run, I have never really regretted spending money on that more expensive something, and this piece really reminds me of that.Lois2037https://www.blogger.com/profile/04776736493772592187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-62776147380048652132007-10-10T10:48:00.000-07:002007-10-10T10:48:00.000-07:00Fantastic, creates such a great reacation from th...Fantastic, creates such a great reacation from the viewer, much more than a $100 bead ever could.Amy Munsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11282818370839157951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-61090452984012723872007-10-10T09:47:00.000-07:002007-10-10T09:47:00.000-07:00WOW,What an impressive and thought provoking piece...WOW,<BR/><BR/>What an impressive and thought provoking piece.
