Some of the additions in the last few months are those I have taken a liking to create – malas. It’s pretty much going back to basics for me – selecting a simple yet pleasing palette of wood or stone beads, stringing them up, and finishing them with a coordinating handmade tassel.
I usually make the necklaces with 108 beads (6-8mm) and include complementary spacers and a focal at the front just above the tassel. They can be used for meditation if you so choose, or just as a fun, boho long necklace. Once I’ve found the right elastic, I might make them stretchy so they can be worn around the wrist as well…
