Mary Clare Art

Playing with designs
This did not come out quite as I anticipated which is why I usually don't have a plan when I sit down to play! I wanted to metal stamp the copper round but realized the gauge was too thin and would not take the stamping. 
I was going to combine words with the polymer clay squiggles and the black onyx cabochons. This piece is whimsical though so I will be keeping it for myself! 

 Mary Clare Art
Mary Clare is one of my findings customers who creates stunning rosary beads.

Each one is a beauty created with metal, crystal, glass and semi precious gemstones.

Each is designed to be an heirloom piece.

Not only that, but each is one of a kind, never reproduced.

Mary Clare's talent goes beyond this. Please visit her page regarding a children's book written to explain adoption in a spiritual way to young children. She not only wrote the book, but also illustrated it! You may also find her blog here.

Visit Mary Clare Art for your next rosary purchase.

Thank you for stopping by! More to come soon as I may be making my television debut in a couple of weeks! 

Chronicle, which is a Massachusetts program that airs nightly on ABC, stopped by to interview me. The episode will be about the state symbols. I was showing off our official state gemstone which is pink rhodonite. Being a show I have watched for as long as I can remember makes it a bit exciting.

    The rosaries are really pretty! And I always have to admire authors who also do their illustrations. Definitely a multi-talented customer you have! Thank you for sharing her work with us.

    Fun necklace. That's the great part about the creative process...it can start out with one picture in our heads and turn into something completely different.
    Beautiful rosaries. Love all the different/beautiful color combinations.
    And how exciting to be interviewed for the TV show!!! You'll have to be sure to share with us if there is an online clip we can watch!!
