America 250 Rosary — In the Spring of 2026, a confluence of events occurred that resulted in me making this series of nine rosaries, my America 250 Novena of Rosaries.

I used some ideas from a couple of other rosaries for this one. Similar to Rosary #121, I used 8mm red, white, and blue crackle glass beads. But I also used plated hematite beads; some for the Our Father beads and others for Hail Mary beads. The look of these beads is similar to a flagpole, like Rosary #73 which I fashioned from the Belgian flag. The centerpiece is an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus; it says "Pray for us" on the back. The crucifix is base metal with ornate features. I hung a metal red, white, and blue flag on the centerpiece. The chain, eye pins, and jump rings are all silver-plated steel.
