Nice one! And I agree about the skull beads -- most of the ones for sale look like they were created by a three-year-old with a blunt knife. These are really nicely done.
The juzu is going to look positively dowdy by comparison, but that's OK.
Stone and glass are so cold. I really like the feel of the horn, bone and olivewood beads though - especially prayer beads are all about being touched.
I stuck that extra bead under the big skull because it had such a big drill hole I was worried I wouldn't be able to tie it off satisfactorily.
