Description My husband asked that I create a set of prayer beads, so this is his anniversary gift. They have 111 genuine jade beads, I think 10mm. The spacer beads are genuine black onyx, about 4mm. Everything was strung with softflex and the tassel is made from embroidery thread.

Jade and onyx are both know to have purification properties, so hold special meaning in the use of the prayer beads for meditation.

A very nicely crafted work, the spirit placed into the piece is the most important part of it.

On an item like this I could probably do a commission or a trade. The cost could varry alot depending on the type of beads.

OH! And thank you so much!

Not a problem at all^^ And is there anyway at all you'd consider doing a trade for one? It wouldn't have to be expensive beads like jade and onyx, it could be glass ones if anything.

Yes, I would definately be open to doing a trade. I took a quick peak at your work. Is there anything in particular that you consider your specialty? I would need to know what color combination you would want for the prayer beads and a price range we would be looking at trading within. I hope that sounds okay, I have not traded before, so I don't exactly know the protocol. Oh! Also, this is a huge strand of prayer beads. If you are familiar with bead sizes, do you know what size you would want you larger bead to be?

My specialty is pretty much a comicy style, but I can do anything, from people and animals to tattoo designs. I can do digital and traditional medias, I'm pretty good with water colours ( I would mail the original to you if you liked traditional media). Colour wise, I love black and purple. As to the price range, I'll let you decide that, seeing as I'll drw or paint whatever you think is an even trade. And I'm not exactly familiar with bead sizes, But i can take a guess ( my baby has lots of strands of beads from parades, and I think her biggest one is about 10MM wide for the beads) and say maybe a little smaller than the one who have on here.

Awesome! Black and purple. Let me see what I can figure out. I'm going to cruise your gallery to see what I might be able to ask for in trade!
