We affectionately named this mala, the Mala-pua, which is a play on words for a local lunch treat, but really to combine the mala (heavenly garland in sanskrit) with pua, the hawaiian word for flower.
This 108 bead mala features a handmade Calvin Orr glass bead made in Hawaii, 8mm wood from China, brass spacers from India and glass flowers from the Czech Republic. Pauline made the matching tassel and capped it with a bead cap made in the USA! Overall a very international mala filled with good intentions and possibilities of growing your mind, and spirit!
Complete layout is in the photo, so you can place your tiny focal flowers every 9 beads and finish with a bead tip!
