Wonderful!

I received these this past December and really love the whole thing. The book is terrific - it tells the history and uses of the beads, crossing a variety of religions which is neat. It talks about the symbolism oft he beads, the thread, the meditation and so on. Beautiful photos are throughout the book as well. The beads smell amazing. They seem sturdy enough - strung on a double thread. This would also make a great gift.

As a glass bead artist I was looking for something about the spiritual aspects of beads. This book tells how people through the ages have used beads in their lives. (get the boxed edition with the sandelwood beads - they smell wonderful!) I loved this book!
