From the stars, on a mountain, with the bears, my beads…and paint.

 

My job used to be graphic design/illustration. It was a great career for thirty-plus years but that job died its natural death and now I do a bit of this and that. THIS is one of my joys, making custom rosary/malas.

This lunar lapis chaplet was created custom for a friend. She knew exactly what she wanted and made this one easy. It fits my hand so nicely, is strung on cord so it rolls around and is very soft. Mother of pearl full and crescent moons and lapis beads with little gold sparkles. Oh so pretty. 

Making custom beads gives me so much joy. Write to me azro@madriver.com if you have an idea in mind, or see what I’ve got here on my website under the shop tab. What fun!
