Prayer beads

Sometimes, seeing beads gives some crazy unexpected ideas.  Recently, while shopping, I have found big frosty beads.  As soon as I saw them, I thought: «They would be great as prayer beads or in a rosary».  I wasn,t affraid of their big shape.  Usually, I am not attracted by big beads.  I bought them anyway.  I put them on a macrame cord with some knots between them.  It gives this result:
I must admit that my knotting is in need of practice.  I didn't space the knot as tight to the beads as I would had liked to.  Otherwhise, I think I don't think to add some knot's caps.  If I could fine some in silver, maybe I would be tempted to add them to hide the knots.  Maybe it will also hide the impefection in the uneven knot spacing.  It still to be seens.  I also wonder if I could have chosen another colouir for the macrame cord.  Would have been wise to go for a bold statements and contrast with the milky beads?  Still unsure of the answer.  I think I am still unsure when it comes to colours.  It is another weak part that I need to work on.

I had many beads and I wanted to use them all.  So, it is why I din't do any macrame knots on this project.  I didn't wanted to add lenght to the project.  It is always fun when I know what I want to do or not with a project.  It always ease thing out.  The process is also easier and quicker.  No uncertainty.  No contemplating two options without unclear decision to make.
