Oval, twisted & round millefiori  beads, blue glass discs, seed beads, blue tassel

“Verily I say unto thee: I am with you in heart and in spirit. I delight in your joy and my spirit rejoiceth in your happiness. With mine inner ear I hear your call and with mine inner sense I inhale the sweet savours of the garden of your hearts.” —’Abdu’l-Baha, Extract from a Tablet of ’Abdu’l-Baha

I wanted to create a sense of a flower garden in this set of prayer beads and the perfect item to use was multi-colored millefiori beads. Every bead in this set is a millefiori: 19 oval beads on one end, 5 twisted oval beads on the other end and a round bead that separates the two sections.
