Some Ethiopian Coptic Treasures

We're getting down to the last bit of sun in Ohio for the fall--do you know we have more cloudy days here in Ohio than anywhere else in the country?  Depressing!  But I remember sunshine..kinda.  Maxx liked it..

On the Bead Board

I've been working up some new Rosaries for the store, and this one, inspired by the Ethiopian Coptic Cross and 4-way medal I love,  just listed:

All Sterling, and lots of it; some absolutely top notch Lapis for the Aves -- and for the Paters, unpolished (matte) Quartz that looks like fog in a bottle! Does it look familiar? It should--I also have it in Bronze:

I love the Ethiopian Coptic tradition--nail studded or hand punched, sometimes hinged, always hand made. I used another Cross and the Star of David in another piece--

Why a Star of David?  Simple...When the Queen of Sheba visited King Solomon, the Ethiopian tradition says that she came home pregnant with his child. Thus the Royal Family is also of the line of Solomon, whose father was King David.  Hope it's true!
