My mam is Buddhist and lives in a Dharma. This year, she has asked for a string of 108 mala beads for her birthday to help her pray. Its not her birthday until November, but I wanted to make her beads right away as a thank you present.My mam has given me the biggest gift anyone could ever give. She has helped me both practically and emotionally through some terrible times. Thank you mam, I love you xxxx
P.S. These beads were made and strung on 09/09/09. Numerology teaches us that 9 is the number of compassion.

And 9 x12 = 108. Beautiful present - I wonder if your mother will felt them further when she uses them?
the beads are lovely, the field is lovely, is that a bridge?-
how are you?
xx
Your gift looks edible... I do love the dappling of color, of the felt(?) Would the white one be the sumeru? -J
Susan - I hadn't made the connection of 12 x 9. Thank you.
Manya - I'm feeling much better today, thank you xx
J - Sumeru? An interesting thought, I will ask my mam :) I am not Buddhist myself so am unsure. I added the white bead more for a sense of contrast and that the natural white wool is so beautiful and simple.
this is a pretty one . but i kind of feel like to squizy , maybe because of the lovely texture it seems to have .
every touch during prayer is a kiss for you..and every touch make the felt stronger and you too!
Caio - you could be right. Like most things I do right now, it is an experiment.Time will tell.
Yvette - You say the nicest things :)
how beautiful! *ruthie*
