I have beautiful stone beads to use of hematite, mother of pearl and the like. I think I will make the part where the cross goes an ankh or mini Goddess. Let's use nice, high quality glass, stone, bone, horn, ceramic beads, no plastic please.

I think I'll use your idea, that sounds good. :-)

this sounds like a wonderful swap! I wish I were able to join in, but I just have to wait until November before I could do justice to a swap like this. Have fun!

Drachenfrau 08/24/2008 #

Hmm.. I'd have no problem to extend the date.

I also would need a longer send date. Will put on my watch list to see if its edited:)

Etayne 08/24/2008 #

Count me in. Longer send date is ok.

myrrhmaid 08/24/2008 #

How's that? :)

cerwinrhiannon 08/24/2008 #

What would you use in between the beads or whatever?

salfra 08/25/2008 #

My beads were individual and large enough that I didn't many spacers. When I did, I used a clear seed bead so as not to take away from the main design. That's the great thing about these - you can do anything you want, any way you want. If you don't like something, just unstring them and start over:)

I love this idea and have this swap on watch. I am so busy and going over the edge - sometime I feel that way. However, if I can drag the bead box out by 10/8. Not sure if i can get the brain to engage any more... :(

I've just bought a wonderful goddess pendant on etsy for the rosary. Can't wait to start. :-)

LaTosi 09/10/2008 #

I believe I have a simple question, how long should it be or is it my preference?

myrrhmaid 09/10/2008 #

I would think we would want them long enough to fit over our heads and wear as a necklace. I don't want to specify something that creates a creative block but it would be nice if we could wear these, if desired.

LaTosi 09/11/2008 #

Thanks,I went bead shopping today,so many beautiful ones,this will be fun.

Drachenfrau 09/12/2008 #

Found a good link from the Rosary beads-swap for making rosaries

LaTosi 09/12/2008 #

I don't mean sound dumb but are there a specific number of beads that need to be used? I think catholic rosaries are made a specific way,I'm not sure. I've already started but can start over easily. Thanks for the help.

myrrhmaid 09/13/2008 #

I've started a discussion thread for us to brain storm ideas in the TGWI forum. Please join me there. Thanks!

myrrhmaid 09/14/2008 #

o.k., I made the sign-up date so it is arriving sooner as not to extend the send by date too much longer. This will give us more time to work on our project once partners are assigned. I hope this works out for everyone still.

Drachenfrau 09/16/2008 #

Yep, great! :-)
