| Several years ago I bought beads with the intention of recreating the rosary from the Arnolfini Wedding as with many of my projects I realized there was a great deal more research to be done to create an accurate piece. |
| As the years went by I never found the time to do the research and I continued to not have a rosary as an appropriate accessory for my persona. Finally I was inspired by a friend to throw caution to the wind and "Just do it". Below is the result. While not a replica of the Arnolfini piece, it is a lovely strand which Serena will be pleased to wear. |

| The Gaud beads were received by myself as Largess from an entry into the Festival of the Laurels 2005 - they were made by Mistress Isabetta Giovanna Rucellai and reflect the common practice of using something cherished as elements of the rosary. |
