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.

This rosary is made almost entirely with recycled parts. The Hail Mary beads are all 6mm, taken from three different old and broken rosaries. The Our Father beads are roses, taken from two such rosaries that were also broken and beyond repair. The centerpiece is metal with red enamel with the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The crucifix is metal, also taken off an old rosary. I hanged a metal American flag on the centerpiece. The chain, eye pins, and jump rings are all silver-plated steel.
