1. Wow! That's beautiful.

I'd like to do one for a Catholic friend, but I'm unsure how to place the beads for counting. Do you have a pattern?

That's really lovely. Is it bali silver?

I used to teach CCD and one thing I always had the kids do as a project was to make their own rosary...I used macreme thread and plastic beads from a craft shop..they even had to make the cross from the beads..

11. Rosary workshop is THE best site for this and they sell the best pieces

for their construction.

10. The pattern is as follows

Cross - 1 our Father bead - 3 Hail Mary Beads - 1 our Father bead - then center piece. Next is the loop of decades. 1 our Father bead - then 10 Hail Mary Beads. There are 5 sets that form a loop and end back at the centerpiece.

2. Wow, that is really beautiful!

Are the beads made of roses? I can't identify the substance.

7. They are "job's tears" seed beads - they are the seed of a type of tall

grass. They pop off with a whole ready made.

6. it's beautiful

I'm frustrated with my beading skills. My design is OK, but I'm not good at finishing. Do you solder each link? I am about to break down and start doing so. Too many of mine break after a year or so.

8. I dont solder I've just practiced my technique with the pliers - you have

to be patient. Its a form of meditation really

15. Very nice! Do you make a lot of rosaries?

The crucifix and the silver spacer beads are very nice looking and compliment the beads. Lots nicer than some commercial rosaries!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

16. I do - I make all kinds - chains with all sorts of beads, chords with

glass beads, macrame ones - you name it. Thanks
