A sampling of some of my recent projects. These will be available in my Etsy shop shortly. But if you want one now, just email me!
This is a hand-knotted linen rosary. As you know, I love natural fibres. I also love hand-knotted rosaries, but I couldn’t bring myself to use nylon twine - pretty as the cords are. The linen is from Ireland (and available in many more beautiful earthy colors!), and coated in beeswax. The cut-out crucifix is olive wood. The significance of each element is powerful. Linen is one of the two fibres allowed for wear in the temple, beeswax is the only acceptable material for sacred candles, and Jesus prayed beneath an olive tree in the garden of Gethsemane. My friend Pat said that if Jesus had carried a rosary, this would be it.
They fit perfectly in your pocket and make wonderful gifts for scouts, outdoors-men, or anyone that loves natural twine rosaries. $7 each, plus shipping
Time Flies Book Thong:
Made from waxed black linen cord with marcasite and garnet-coloured Swarovski crystals and a matching pendant watch, in case you tend to lose all track of time while reading! $25, plus shipping.
Celtic Book Thong:
This book thong is perfect for your Bible, or other sacred text. A waxed linen cord in black with an antiqued pewter crucifix, beautiful natural stone beads the color of moss. St. Patrick would have liked this one, I think. $15, plus shipping
More to come…

OOh… you could try hemp too. We use hemp for DD’s beading, but it’d make a nice knotted Rosary as well.
They are beautiful!

HI,
I’d like to order a few of these beautiful rosaries, please for ChristMass gifts.
Could I request an extra one made with a knotted crucifix instead of the olive wood? I am in the hope it could be a perfect “first rosary” for my 1 year old baby girl.
Thank you,
Donna
