This is part of what I’ve been working on this week:
Always Present Anglican Rosary
This one will be for the wrist or pocket. It is made with pale green Kiwi Sesame Agate, white jade, very pale green seed beads, gold seed beads, a green Swarovski Crystal, with a gold-plate cross.
Desert Clarity Anglican Rosary
This is made with Blue Jade, White Jade, small gold seed beads, a green Swarovski Crystal and a gold-plate cross. This is one of my favorites as it recalls the ancient desert colors of the Egyptian Pharaohs.
Silver Sunlight Anglican Rosary
This is larger than a wrist rosary and is best for the pocket or by the pillow when you sleep at night. The cross is Abalone Shell with a sterling silver swirl and fancy bail. The weeks beads are smooth, natural Mother of Pearl and the cruciform beads are round Picture Jasper. The Invitatory bead is of an oval Picture Jasper and two round Picture Jasper beads. The separator beads are a filigree, sterling silver open weave beads.
I’m finding that I really like flat beads for holding in the hand and I think I will make a larger rosary at some point, with flat beads. I found some gorgeous turquoise that I’d really love to work with that rounded, flat beads. They look like they’d be lovely to hold!
