soothsayer beads

“It is the job of artists to open doors and invite in prophesies, the unknown, the unfamiliar; it’s where their work comes from, although its arrival signals the beginning of the long disciplined process of making it their own. Scientists too, as J. Robert Oppenheimer once remarked, ‘live always at the ‘edge of mystery’­—the boundary of the unknown.’ But they transform the unknown into the known, haul it in like fishermen; artists get you out into that dark sea.” — Rebecca Solnit
soothsayer beads: a long hand-strung run of thoughtfully festive beads (wood, ceramic, recycled glass, coconut on hemp cord) — perfect for all forms of prognosticating. Or just for looking nice, which also totally counts. No two are alike — choose the ones that speak to you.
