Mary Pahl
I’m primarily a weaver, which is a wonderful but time-consuming and labor-intensive craft. My jewelry -making provides me with more immediate gratification. I especially enjoy working with semi-precious stones because of their natural beauty and the metaphysical properties associated with the individual varieties of stones. Sometimes I combine the two media and produce woven neckpieces which incorporate beads and stones.
My rosary necklaces came about when a friend asked me to make one for her. I particularly enjoyed the challenge of creating an elegant, wearable necklace while preserving the structure and bead count of the traditional five-decade rosary.
My friend loves her necklace because she can wear a unique, lovely piece of jewelry and have her rosary nearby as well. For me, stringing these beautiful stones into a timeless form is both soothing and meditative.
