Rosary-making found me when I was lunching with a friend and showing her some of my 'True Colours' jewellery (see www.truecolours.ie).

A gentleman approached us with a request for a well-made rosary he might wear as a necklace! And as, in his eyes, Judas had tainted silver, could I make it in an alternative metal. I stumbled on a wonderful source of designer crosses and centers, in sterling and in bronze, which give my rosaries that quality cachet I had wanted.

My goal in crafting rosaries is always to create something of beauty that energizes and uplifts the pray-er or wearer, supporting them with the colors they most need, while bringing the energy of beauty into the prayer situation. AS the poet Keats put it:
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty," - that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know!
