Today I’d like to share with you some of the prayer beads I have made.
A few years ago, I became extremely intrigued by the idea of rosaries and prayer beads. For many years I have enjoyed micro-macramé, and attempted to see if I could use it to make prayer beads. I didn’t like the effect and switched to simple knotted silk.
Hematite and red glass on green silk. 9 sets of 9 beads plus the focal four.
I later decided that I preferred using eye pins instead. Most of them were given as gifts over the years. I still have a few that haven’t found homes yet, waiting neatly in their packages. Here’s a gallery of the ones to date. They aren’t all works of art, but I was really quite pleased with most of them.
Lately I feel like maybe making some more.
