First Solo Bead Project!

Look what I made!!

Photobucket

I may finally have found a craft that I enjoy and am good at!!



This is a meditation strand, designed to anchor my morning meditation cycle, which starts in the underworld, goes through the four elements and the stars, and then centers me. I wanted a set of prayer beads because I do this before I get out of bed in the morning and sometimes I'm pretty foggy. I expect that beads to help me center and focus. I've never really tried doing something like this before.... We'll see if it works as expected.


Thousands of thanks to [livejournal.com profile] oakmouse, who got me started on this, and who did such a good job of guiding me through my first project that a month later I was able to do this strand with the book simply as back-up confirmation! (The book is Pagan Prayer Beads by Clare Vaughn and John Michael Greer -- highly recommend if you want to try this craft!)
