This page is not meant to be an exhaustive photographic account of the prayer ropes I make. It's meant simply to show the kind of work that I do. My prayer ropes are in a state of constant evolution and refinement, and so the photographs you see here may not necessarily reflect the exact look of my prayer ropes at the moment. But they do give you a close approximation. Enjoy!
UPDATE: Beginning January 2021 I'm no longer offering the two-stranded prayer ropes imaged below. That method of tying knots has proven very hard on my hands over the years and has caused me a great deal of pain. I'll be offering prayer ropes tied using a four-stranded method that results in slightly thicker knots, but closer together.
New images coming soon.

Phillip — These photos are beautiful and really highlight your work. Since I own several of your ropes, I know that they are even more incredible than the photos can show.
ReplyDeleteI would like a gold Russian 100 knot
ReplyDeleteDo you have a photo of the 150 bead prayer rope?
ReplyDeleteI just received my 50 knot Greek style prayer rope. Such fine craftsmanship. It is going to travel around everywhere I go in my rosary pouch and will be a good little companion to my WWI Battle Beads.
