Uploading Trials and Tribulations

Resized a bunch of photos today - it took quite a bit of time.

Luckily for me, I was able to use a fairly easy program called Picassa to do all my basic edits.  Picassa even allowed me to batch edit my photos, which saved me a ton of time.  Still, I should be able to do this step much faster as I gain more familiarity with the program.

The Paternoster pictured is a 6 decade (60 bead) paternoster.  I used jade, bali silver beads, and a solid jade cross.  The silver gauds are surrounded by jade beads, and the spacers are also silver (I think sterling - they are vintage salvage findings, so I cannot be sure).  I have not been able to find visual documentation of this particular shape of bead, but I know many shapes, including cylindrical ones, were fairly common.  This is really a handsome piece, and I am proud of it. 

This was one of the paternosters I listed today.  I thought you might like to see it.  Turning in early tonight, to get a jump start on the morning.  Have to retake a few photos, then I will be posting my absolute favorite paternosters.

Until tomorrow!
