    Noah's Arc and St. Francis Series

    Traditional Prayer Beads and Prayer Bead Bracelets are in these series.  These seem to sell out as quickly as I can create them.  As always, custom orders are welcome, and can be made in a wide variety of colors and styles.  See bottom of page for samples of some that have been created for other customers.
