Although warm earthtones are the predominant tones in this unique Rosary, there's a subtle surprise in the Paters. These brass beads were hand made in Nepal by local artisans, with rusty Carnelian inset top and back; but on the sides, the artisan inlaid just a touch of intense Turquoise for a surprising jolt of color that sets off the whole Rosary.
The Two Angels Crucifix is a perennial favorite, and the center is a Lily, a symbol of the Blessed Mother.
All in all, I think it came out well.

and remember--this cannot be duplicated; it is a one-of-a-kind Rosary, so if it is calling you, act quickly
(By the way, these artisan beads were obtained through a Fair Trade exchange--that means the artist is being paid fairly for his work and not exploited, while encouraging a continuation of the local bead and jewelry-making community.)
For the afternoon, I'm dipping into my cache of natural Citrine faceted rondelles. I'm thinking of something in Sterling, with lots of bead caps...will keep you informed. I have a bright, sunny workroom and a lazy cat stretched out on the couch cushions and making small snoring noises. I'll make some iced coffee and turn on the classical station and enjoy a relaxed day--lounging robe, slippers, and all! Saturdays are the best!
all for now,
