The Soulful Spirit collection from TierraCast includes beads that are perfect for making Mala necklaces. The collection includes Guru beads, which are traditionally used at the center of Mala necklaces, as it signifies the end of one round in the prayer circle. The Guru bead at the center of this necklace features a lotus design, which works well with other lotus elements from the TierraCast collection. You can see more from the Soulful Spirit collection in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
String the following pattern onto a length of Griffin silk bead cord:
Make a mirror image of the bead pattern on the other side of the Guru bead. When you have added the last wood bead, add a TierraCast 5mm brass oxide finish pewter nugget spacer bead. Knot the ends of your silk together between the wood bead and the 5mm spacer. The spacer will hide the knot you create.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
