WORTHY ARE YOU, LORD IV
USING BASHA's GRECO ROMAN BEADS - A SMALLER ROSARY
This is the fourth and smallest in the series of WORTHY ARE YOU, LORD, a smaller Pater bead (Handmade Basha bead) and Ave (Handmade sterling silver bead from India). The hand made silver Ave beads are weighed by the gram which determines the price along with each metal item on our site. The rosary itself looks to us as if it came from a private estate or collection dating back 100s of years. Filigree Ave beads have been used for centuries. They were introduced in the 1600s and used in the 'Filigree Rosaries made in Bavaria (Schwabish Gmund) and Austria. This rosary was inspired by these elegant rosaries seen in many museums throughout Europe. (See our Rosary Museum link above)

HAND MADE 'PATER' BEADS BY BASHA
The intention of this work by Basha is to create an archival bead that has taken on an ancient, inner iridescent patina that happens to glass with time - after it has been buried for 1000s of years. This is a magnificent example of what is possible in the hands of a gifted contemporary glass bead maker. No two beads are alike yet all carry the archival quality she alone is famous for. We are grateful that BASHA shares her limited beads with us as one of her limited customers.

A REMARKABLE ROSARY MADE UP OF HAND MADE SILVER FILIGREE

AVE BEADS.  THE OPENWORK LIGHTENS THIS POWERFUL ROSARY

 ~inspired scripture~
From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder. 5 Seven flaming torches burned in front of the throne, which are the seven spirits of God .... 6  In front of the throne was something that resembled a sea of glass like crystal. ...

UNEARTHED IN SOME 2000 YEAR OLD GRECIAN DIG.

THAT WE CANNOT CAPTURE WITH THE EYE
OF OUR CAMERA.

         8  The four living creatures, each of them with six wings, 8 were covered with eyes inside and out. Day and night they do not stop exclaiming: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come." ...

9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to the one who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before the one who sits on the throne and worship him, who lives forever and ever. They throw down their crowns before the throne, exclaiming:  11  "Worthy are you, Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things; because of your will they came to be and were created."  Rev.4: 5-11
