Hello. My Name is...

Gailavira.

Yes, that's what I said.

No, I don't mean it's my real name. Just my other username.

It seems there are a few people from other sites who are a little bit confused about who I am, and why I have two different names that I use on-line. So, I figured I'd better explain here.

I signed up for Devianart a long time ago. On February 20, 2001 in fact. At that time I was mostly doing graphics and using the name Sylva. I didn't start using the name Gailavira until March 11, 2007, when I started making jewelry and selling it on-line. At that point I had more or less abandoned DA, as I hadn't been doing any graphics work for a few years. It wasn't until months later (September 2007) that I found out that DA had added a category for artisan crafts. It was then that I decided to start posting here on DA again. I didn't want to open a new account, so I kept using the name Sylva here. I figured that since I posted the same work here as on other sites, and my real name is just below my username on my profile, that people would realize Sylva and Gailavira are the same person. Unfortunately, I was wrong.

So, to all of those of you who seem to be so confused, now you have your answer. ;)

5 deviants said No. It's unsanitary and I won't wear it if it's been worn by someone else.

This is a debate I've seen many times over the last few years in the jewelry community. So I'm wondering what all of you think. If you have a moment, please vote in the poll. Or, if you prefer, you can just comment here on this journal entry. :)


I also want to thank everyone who voiced their opinion on the last poll. That poll is still open if anyone else wants to vote in it too. So far the overwhelming majority of voters is either in favor of the ear cuff display or indifferent to it. And for those of you who asked where to get one, you can find it on Ebay.
