heart of compassion malas

I make authentic Buddhist malas, using semi-precious stones and special woods and seeds. Malas are strings of prayer beads used with a mantra, held, or worn gently as a way of praying, focusing, and staying mindful. Traditionally malas are used by Buddhists, Yogis, and Hindus. But these days more and more people from all lifestyles enjoy them.

Tumblr Becomes Fun!


People on Etsy have discovered the Tumblr add button, thanks partly to a thread jewelry designer SherryTruit started in the forums.  Now when I click into my Tumblr account I don’t feelas much like a voice in the wilderness!  There are peeps, fellow makers and sellers like me, to check out.  I love community, don’t you?  So much more fun to share things and see other folks’ creations.
