The Believer

 My intentions for today was to post and show you three necklaces I created from old rosaries....but I ran out of time, so I will only show you one piece and save the others for another day.

I found these beautiful glass rosary beads at the Nashville Flea Market last month, they have the image of Mary embedded in each bead, in addition I thought the color was great as it is not common at all.
I created the pendant from a fabric scapular and preserved it in resin. I was very happy with the outcome, my first time doing this technique to fabric. Tiny turquoise beads along with some very old filigree compliment the rosary beads nicely. It is a super lightweight necklace to wear. You can find The Believer  in my Etsy shop.

    Judy, that pendant is spectacular. It's perfect for those unusual beads. I don't tend to gravitate towards whites, but those beads are so special and the turquiose brings just enough colour. Really nice!
