Rose Beads

Making rose beads tonight. My finger tips are covered in rose clay. On each finger tip is caked in what probably amounts to four or five pink organic damask rose petals. The clay is light colored. Made from scratch today. It sort of feels like papier mache. It dries dark red, maroon. The room is filled with the smell of damask rose. I made medallions too, made the shapes and then using my special needle I hand pick little designs in the wet clay. I would close my eyes first and see the design then the needle would just pick it's own way along. Each one is different. When they are dry they are as hard as wood. I sand and then oil them with virgin coconut oil infused with vanilla. The scent of roses and vanilla when you wear one against your skin is remarkable.
€30.00 for a rose bead medallion threaded on leather.
