Thankful!

Posted on August 11, 2018August 12, 2018 by Barbara McLaughlin

Just in time for fall! Great ‘thankful’ cards for all occasions – from fall wedding thank you cards to teacher appreciation cards. Sometimes when I start a painting, I have a clear idea as to what it will look like. However, on other occasions, the painting takes over and leads me down a beautiful path I would never have imagined. When I started this painting, I wanted to focus on the leaves with the ‘thankful’ theme. After the painting was complete, I took another glance at it and noticed the positioning of the leaves and the interplay with the blue negative space. What an optical illusion! Some people see a figure in the middle of the leaves – I call him the dancing man.

Every time I see this image, I am so thankful!

Traditional Olive Wood Rosaries…

Posted on August 1, 2018 by Barbara McLaughlin

This five decade rosary is made with 8mm olive wood beads and an olive wood cross. Two brown nylon cords are strung in between each bead, resulting in durable and strong construction with tight barrel knots. What I love about this rosary is that there is space to move the Hail Mary beads. Feels substantial in the hand with the smooth and polished olive wood beads and cross. Each 15 3/4″ rosary is packaged in a clear plastic sleeve with rosary instructions and a 3″x4″ muslin pouch. This rosary makes a great gift for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and for those grieving loss. Free shipping in the U.S.

Catholic Gift Idea…

My wood rosaries include a muslin pouch and instruction sheet on how to pray the rosary. The handmade wooden rosaries are strong, durable, and beautiful! Great all-in-one Catholic gift for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, Baptisms, First Communions, Confirmations, etc. Catholic gift giving hasn’t been easier if you add the optional card!

Handmade Catholic 5 Decade Rosary

Posted on July 15, 2018 by Barbara McLaughlin

One of the things I enjoy about being an artist is that I am able to share the work of my hands – from painting to making rosaries. I am exploring different suppliers of olive wood beads and crosses. I just love the feel of the heavier beads. As a rosary collector myself, I gravitate toward wood ladder rosaries. Hard to find…until now! Take a look at the rosary section at my Etsy shop.
