Distinctive Style & Design

I design and make rosaries and jewelry. Check here for new designs and ideas, sometimes before they make it to my web site. For more of my products see my web site: www.RosariesAndJewelryByLaura.com

I have been making rosaries for about 29 years, and jewelry for almost as long. I enjoy the whole process from beginning to end, and can usually be found to have a pair of pliers, wire and maybe some kind of beads in my hands, except possibly when I'm sleeping.

Flying Time!

Wow, has the time flown by this year. It's almost December and I feel like I'm still trying to catch my breath from running through summer! I have a couple of sales coming up, and have been working hard at getting pieces made for it. I'm also working on a design challenge that our IJDG is having. Our owner sent everyone the same beads and we all have to design something out of them using all the beads. Mine is starting to come together, but since I don't use many seed beads, it has really stretched me as a designer.

I will be selling a week from Wed at the school that is associated with my church. Every year they have a fundraiser to help with different things the school needs. My late husband was an artist in oils and donated paintings to the silent auction each year. This year I hope to start a tradition of selling my rosaries and jewelry at the school and donating a portion of the gross proceeds to the school in his name. This coming sale will be the first one for the W. Reed Andersen Memorial Fund for St. Pius X Catholic School. Hopefully I'll be able to have a sale a couple times a year to help raise more money for the school. Wish me luck Reed!
