This Beautiful Beaded Rosary by multimedia artist Charles Atencio, features beautiful Czech faceted crystal beads. Each bead gives a lovely sparkle and they radiate in the sunlight. This piece would make a beautiful addition to your collection or a lovely gift. Each rosary Charles makes is made with love, quality and craftsmanship. The proceeds of the rosaries he makes go to the care and upkeep of the Iglesia de San Pedro y San Pablo, a 160 year old sacred and historic church that his ancestors helped build. Charles is the mayordomo or caretaker of the church. Charles is a valley native and has been an artist most of his life, his love of art came from his grandmother, who was a weaver. She inspired him to continue with traditional art, such as woodworking, carving, weaving, jewelry making and he is also a skilled santero, an art form that is rare these days.
