Why Silver?

Well, if you don't know me that well, then you probably don't know that I LOVE silver. Just check out my e-mail addy, hopepage addy, and guestbook name. I've incorporated silver into them as part of Silverhour, my fictional comic book company. (which would rock if I could make a reality) I have created my own comic characters, which I plan to put up as soon as I have them perfected. Look for that to appear in my Art section, under Comics, or as a totally new page.
I don't really know where or when my fasination with this colour and metal started. I guess it would have to be with the small bits of jewellery I have. I wear two chains of silver, and have a silver ring, but don't wear it often. I then went on to have my Grade 12 grad suit made of silver material. Special thanks go out to my Aunt for making it for me! Taking all of these into account, I would say I have quite an affection for silver. As a counterpoint to silver I would say purple works well. They set eachother off quite nicely, allowing the silver to shine next to the relativly dark purple.
