Friday, December 11, 2009. Wow where has the time gone? Of course I can opt for an early retirement and hope to pick up some part time job to hold me over; and of course I can work on what I love doing most in life, my lampwork and jewelry making.

I have been making Rosaries for a while. and I have made them of probably every material imaginable. But gemstones have always spoken to me and I have always had a hard time pinning down why. It was always just something that meant something to me on a visceral level so I did it. I always thought it was just that gemstones are lovely and accepted that. Or are they? Over the years, chips and worn spots are not losses to these stones but signs of devotion.
