Commission from Sir Gemini

Sir Gemini's skull paternoster


At Cynagua Coronet, I showed Sir Gemini my skull paternoser. I know that he has a thing for skulls, especially those with no lower jaw bone. He said "Cool!" I did offer it to him, but he declined and asked if I could make a 4 decade one for him instead. Great, another commission!



I noticed that all my skulls were missing the lower jaw, so they would be perfect for Sir Gemini's paternoster. He wanted it to be a simple loop, so I fingerlooped some silk threads (using all 12 strands) for the stringing cord and I made a silk tassel. I used the smaller bone skulls for the aves and the larger datewood skulls for the gauds. I really like how this one turned out; it is the perfect size for a man.
