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.
Needlefelting Class—taught by Etsy’s KarinGrow. These birds look like they’re singing barbershop. Mine’s the one on the far left. Don’t worry, I won’t be offering “prayer birds”…leave that to the experts. It was amazing watching big balls of wool become these sculpted little fellows. Try it sometime—and definitely check out Karin’s birds. Just click on my Etsy store link above and when you get to Etsy, type “KarinGrow” into the seller’s name space.
