Gracefull Things

A couple of years ago, Jeanene started making jewelry and prayer beads as a kind of spiritual discipline and creative journey. She was stressed after 20 years as a chaplain, and the act of creating beauty was calming to her. She began all of this on a trip we made to Colorado, where she has gone whenever possible since she was a little girl.

Jeanene's jewelry and necklaces are one-of-a-kind pieces. She buys precious stones and crosses from all over the world, choosing quality items and interesting religious icons. She spends a lot of time sorting and working just to create one piece. I think her work is terribly under priced, but that's just my opinion. This is her thing and she does it her way.

In the fall of 2006 and 2007, she began selling her jewelry and prayer beads online. I linked to her, and she sold pretty much everything she made. After taking a few months off, Jeanene has been working hard and has a whole new collection available online. I think this third generation of her jewelry is the best she's ever made. I'm amazed at the little details like tiny beads that connect larger beads and create delicate transitions.

I know she's my wife and best friend, but I love her stuff. I really do.
