CLAY, SAND AND LAVA CAUGHT IN A CRYSTAL SEA Beautiful 'Picasso' Ave beads in facetd jet are the perfect find for these hand made beads by Grace Ma. The art of glass bead making, hand pressed beads or of a technique called 'lamp work' is centuries old - and carries a very interesting history you may read about in our history section. + But recently there has been a new birth of lamp work beads all over the United States. Any of the major Bead shows from Tucson to Milwaukee, from New York to Los Angeles will reveal how beads are formed from rods of glass cane in gifted hands to become miniature works of art. Below we have incorperated some of the work of these beadmakers into our rosaries, chaplets and religious jewelry. We hope you enjoy. SEA

Handmade Pater beads are soft swirls of earth tones, clay, sand and lava caught in a stormy, glassy, crystal sea. Faceted gem cuts make up the Ave beads and compliment the work of American Artist, Grace Ma. Unable to show their beauty without holding it up and letting the light play through it and across its surface. |

47 When it was evening, the boat was far out on the sea and he was alone on shore. 48 Then he saw that they were tossed about while rowing, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, he came toward them walking on the sea. He meant to pass by them. 49 But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and cried out. 50 They had all seen him and were terrified. But at once he spoke with them, "Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!" 51 He got into the boat with them and the wind died down. They were (completely) astounded. |

Like mini works of art, each bead teases the imagination to see and azure sea interrupted by fishing nets tossed into the blue sky and capturing rose sunsets. Each hand made bead is by Grace Ma, an American Bead artist. Ave beads are faceted 'Gem Cuts' in a light rose that pick up the colors in the Paters. |

Other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten the bread when the Lord gave thanks. 24 When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus. 25 And when they found him across the sea they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?" Jesus answered them and said, "Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled. 27 Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, 15 which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal." |

These beads show swirls of sandy tones along with the rocky shores of the sea of Galilee. Tiny bits of blue here and there suggest the sky above. Each so different, no two alike, unrepeatable like our own unrepeatable uniqueness. Ave beads are faceted jet black to compliment the Paters. (Fragments of white are not so obvious in the actual bead) + This is the sea of a delicacy called 'Peter's Fish', served in the restaurants along the shore with its head on, probably just the way it was served in the time of Christ! |

18 As he was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. 19 He said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men." |

This hand made Pater bead is lovely, the earth tone colors are reminders of the shore pounded by the sea, waves and churning foam, sand, rocks and sky above. If you look hard enough you might even see little flowers floating freely on the surface of the swirling waters that were blown in the wind. No two alike. The faceted jet Ave beads, also called 'picasso' beads are not as defined as the eye of the camera picked up but add more natural depth than if they were solid black. |

.... A squall blew over the lake, and they were taking in water and were in danger. 24 They came and woke him saying, "Master, master, we are perishing!" He awakened, rebuked the wind and the waves, and they subsided and there was a calm. 25 Then he asked them, "Where is your faith?" |

I am writing to compliment you on the "Pilgrimage" rosary I ordered from you--the piece arrived earlier today and I am thrilled. The coral pater beads are beautiful, and the medals are especially striking. Keep up the wonderful work! I look forward to placing another order soon. The only difficulty is which to choose....
