Hi,

I wanted to thank you for your write up of the book. I got it and read it. I'm digesting it - there were pluses and minuses for me. BUT the reading did prompt me to get moving. I read JMG's book on prayer beads a while back and had been wanting to experiment with rosary bead making since it is a place of direct overlap between prayer and gardening for me. I currently have roses simmering away on the stove in my first attempt. I would be most interested if you find any specific plants that are helpful to your rosary project and would offer to make you some beads (or at least attempt to) since I'd like to try making beads out of other plants with religious significance once I get the rose method figured out.
