I was in the lovely class taught in Wintermist (Caid) this past Collegium and was hoping to gain permission to make copies of the class handout for several...
... Thanks for the compliment! I'm sorry, but I have to say no -- basically because while the text is mine, most of the illustrations are not. However you are...
I thought that might be the answer, but a unasked the answer could only be no.... I hadn't thought about the faq file... though I did direct them to the group....
Since I've had some success with making period-style rosaries recently (to use up some of those 1,000 olivewood beads I had to buy)..... I've been putting...
The imitation "German coral" rosary I mentioned is done and up on eBay -- it's smaller than mine and made of less expensive materials (dyed marble and glass,...
... Oh, sorry. If you mean the red one, the red marble beads are 12mm and I think the glass ones are 16mm, though I have a vague memory that I got them from a...
Greetings, good gentles! My name's Sorche Kyrkeby, and I'm really impressed with the amount of documentation and assistance on this list. I do have a question,...
Greetings the list! I am THL Catherine de Gray (Cat) out of Cynagua (Sacramento, to fine tune) in the West Kingdom, enacting a 16th century Englishwoman living...
Glad to meet you! I just made my first one, out of silk embroidery thread, glass pearls and amber-looking glass beads as gauds. I haven't attached a pendant...
It's been awfully quiet around here! What's everyone up to? What projects are you working on (related to rosaries or not)? I had a bit of free time a couple of...
Hi Chris.... ... It's been awfully quiet around here! it is! I've been looking at some nice textiles recently, (but no beads...), which you can read all about...
... competition, and am currently working on 1520's Florentine garb to go with said rosaries (whatever excuse it takes, right? <g>) To get an idea of the garb...
... The issue is probably that in general, corals worldwide are in pretty steep decline due to boat and diver damage, water pollution, over-harvesting, bad...
Hello... Another place to "find" very nice coral is thrift shops or second hand stores and estate sales... Coral was very popular at various times in recent US...
Maybe its a British thing as Coral is not sold over here as far as I am aware, and there are always warnings about not buying it on holiday in travel guides....
We have an SCA mongol persona in our area who has a TON of coral on her headdress. Some of it is real (don't tell the border guards! :) ) but most of it she...
I have searched in vain, to find a clip, commonly used to attach a full rosary or paternoster to a belt or cinchure. I've checked several rosary supply places...
Ebay sometimes has them. Usually they come with a nun's rosary. I've seen them there, but as they are usually antiques, they aren't cheap.-Donna ... From:...
Try eBay. I saw one there some time ago; looked like what the nuns used in my childhood. Which leads to another idea-- kmow of any retired nuns' homes? Or if...
What do they look like???? Does anyone have a picture they could post??? The pictures I have seen show the beads tucked over the belt or more often in the...
Those I have seen are in the general form of a an S-hook. One bend goes over the belt or cincture and the other holds the rosary. Sometimes one or both sides...
... Hmmm. I've also bent my own out of a piece of old coat hanger :) Generally for wearing a _historical_ rosary when I'm in medieval clothes, I either just...
Greetings. I'm trying to work out my kit for 10th C Anglo-Saxon & believe a paternoster would be the appropriate prayer counter. Does anyone have any...
Someone was asking (apologies for the late follow-up) about paternosters or other prayer beads before AD 1000. There's not much information out there, but...
From what I've read, it seems to be parallel development. Some of the earliest Irish monks used to keep track of their prayers by using piles of pebbles...
