After years of making only chain rosaries, I decided to try my hand at cord rosaries. This is my first. I purchased the cord and beads some time ago and am just getting around to using it. The cord was not the easiest to work with, but I think overall the rosary turned out okay. The Hail Mary beads are about 8mm and look somewhat like lava rock. The Our Father beads are a little bigger with a cone shape. The centerpiece features the Holy Family. The crucifix is one from a batch that were donated to me.
