The royal purple

Confirmation Rosary bracelet for a young woman initiated into the Catholic Faith, Enjoy!



Another one of my go-to-designs that have been tweaked and improved over the years. Here is the solution for a full rosary available at a moments notice since it sits on your wrist. Here we have used amethyst stones chained wired into five decades with a wired beaded bar leading into the Our Father beads. The sterling silver five way cross is one of my favorites.  I really enjoy this design and have referenced it often... including a variation for myself which won an international award in 2015. Enjoy!

Let the Sun in!!

Enjoy this beadscape of a sunset through a full conventional rosary.


This full rosary is full of sunrise or sunset colors. I just love God's color combination - sometimes colors you wouldn't think to put together. I loved combining the various orange hues especially pyrite which has a sparkly inset - it is actually sand glass! God is so awesome with His amazing creations!

Hear the water?

Enjoy this conventional full rosary depicts the ocean waves... love the colors!
As I was waiting for the sun to rise I was fixated on the waves... the mixture of color and swirl. Sometime greens, blues and even pearly white. I took that color combination and wrapped it up into a rosary... again bringing the person back to a 'happy' place. I know for many listening to the crash and lapping of the water is quite soothing... I have grown to appreciate it's amazing-ness.
The stones used to capture that moment are faux pearls, green fiberglass, serpentine, amazonite (one of my all time favs) and moss agate. When opened up it looks beautiful. I have fun with my bead-scapes asking people what they see or feel... this one was a winner hands down... W A  T  E  R !!! Yeah!

Boutique of flowers for Mary

Taking my inspiration to a full conventional rosary - boutique of flowers.

Here my bead-scape isn't really a landscape inspired but it is an image inspired - a boutique of flowers. Our prayers are a boutique of petitions and offerings. The picture doesn't depict well the flowery image with the green stems and various colored blooms but its all in there (too difficult to shoot such a large piece clearly). The Our Father beads are wire wrapped like a stem of flowers would be for a wedding or given as a gift. This new inspiration added a touch of challenge to making rosaries - and for me that is fun!

Another bead-scape

Enjoy this full decade rosary bracelet, another bead-scape of the Missouri valley in early morning!
To be truthful this was my first inspiration to capture a landscape - this was the early morning in a valley with morning mist rising. It was quite breathe taking. I wired together my inspiration but it sat for awhile trying to figure out how to work it together... with God you have to be patient... it came a few years later. The green part is the trees catching a glimpse of the rocks then the mist in the sky. The crucifix is the bottom part looking at the piece upwards. I was very excited with my idea but even more thrilled that I could use it as a rosary bracelet. Great way to hold fond memories of your happy place while you are praying... takes you right back there... amazing!
