The start was a plan to make a rosary. Colors: beaches and oceans, gentle and natural and calm. Method: wire-wrapped loops. I used a special pliers that gives uniform loop sizes, but in hindsight perhaps I should have stuck with the old standard rosary pliers for making the loops. Even if those loops vary a bit in size, they come out a little smaller. At any rate, the loops are very even in size this time.
I also thought that the chaplet would need a little pouch to rest in. And that an embroidered design would be nice.
Opened up Hatch and digitized an Auspice Maria (AM) design, added some bits of decoration, and embroidered it onto a charm square. (Charm squares are 5 inches in size.)
Sewed the charms onto a zipper, flirted with and rejected a lining--the iron on interfacing needed by the zipper is I think sufficient--and sewed the pouch together.
