I also make handmade rosaries. Here is a photo of one that I have made.
This is a relic rosary of Saint Theresa. The back contains soil from the grave of Saint Theresa.

Oh My Goodness That is Beautiful Ray! you did that all By hand?? That Looks like a lot of work ! I love to see more of your work!

*How did you get the soil from the Grave of Saint Theresa and how is it place on the back??*

Angelblossom,

Yes I do all the rosaries by hand. I sell them on E-Bay. The relic center of Saint Theresa came from a supplier of my rosary materials. I have been making rosaries for over 30 years.

Here is another one I made this is a Baptismal Rosary. I used the yellow roses for the Our Father Beads.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Yellow One!!!!!!!

This is one that I completed for a Confirmation

Has the Red roses for the Our Father Beads, the centerpiece is of the Holy Spirit and has a matching Crucifix.

Very Pretty!,, Is Christening and Baptismal the same thing for young Children, I have a grand niece that will be getting christened in a few months,, I'm just curious at to what rosary one would use for that.
BTW she has two middle names one of which is rose.

Those are very pretty, Ray. You do great work.

Angle Blossom yes Christening and Baptism are the same. I make them in different color roses.

Here is a Baptismal Rosary with the Cream Color roses that are porcelain instead of the clay roses.

Wow! Those are beautiful! You do fabulous work!

VERY nice work, Ray. You are very talented and your rosaries are beautiful.

Ray, that is some very nice work--you can be proud of it.

Dear Ray your rosaries are the most beautiful I have ever seen I'm really sure saint Theresa blesses you with her grace when you are making them.I too am an admirer or saint Teresa[we spell it like this in Italian] my grandmother used to have a lovely picture of her in the house and she had a beatiful row of roses bushes growing along the wall of the house she would not let anyone touch those roses or pick them she would only clean up the spent blooms and prune them to keep them healthy I asked her once why she wouldn't let anyone touch them she said because they are Saint Teresas's roses and I grow them just for her.My grandmother has been passed away now over ten years and the roses became neglected and abandoned but my aunt and sister have cuttings from the original bushes I never told them the secret of those roses.
