BOXES

when we make a prayer wheel, we take a piece of wood that is cut to the right length so all four parts of the wheel can be made out of it. i always make the wood a bit longer so that if i make a mistake then there is enough wood to make a spare part. but, if i did my job correctly, then from the extra piece of wood that i have i make a wood box, and my most talented wife makes it beautiful with her amazing art work... i am adding the boxes album here for you to see what it's all about.
enjoy!

photos taken kindly by the very talented Mr. RiemerK :-)

"Medicine Buddha Mantra Prayer Wheel"


this is the first of it's kind! we never made one before and it was a real project! the woman who ordered it wanted something special to give her husband for his birthday and she saw our work on Facebook... and 1+1=2...
she wanted a special design for the handle, as you can see in the photo... came out stunning!
the stone is to her request as well...
we now have another order for a Medicine Buddha "prayer wheel" with crazy specifications... will upload photos when it will be done.

"7-Line Prayer Wheel"


this is a special order for a "clean" 7-line "prayer wheel" that is going to a serious practitioner in India. it was made to the very clear specifications: " i want nothing on it" so clear.... so here it is for your viewing pleasure! enjoy!

making "prayer wheels"... thoughts..

well, since i think i am most likely the only one who reads this blog, i will take some time here to talk to my self....
i like making "prayer wheels", and especially "handheld prayer wheels"... it's a great sense of accomplishment to make these "prayer wheels", and when i think of all the things we went through to be here, at this point in time, it's mind bending.... simply amazing...
when we (me & Ayelet) started this project almost two years ago, we had no idea that it will get to the point it's at right now... we spend SO many hours making "Tibetan prayer wheels" it's simply amazing... and there is so much more we can do.
we have made a "prayer wheel" for "H.H. the Dalai Lama" and he should get it in the next few weeks... this is simply unbelievable! we never thought we will make it here...

i would like to thank ALL the people that support us around the globe, without you non of this would be possible... THANK YOU!

A WOODEN PRAYER WHEEL PENDANT

A WOODEN PRAYER WHEEL PENDANT


A WOODEN PRAYER WHEEL PENDANT


a long time ago, we thought that we should try and make a small wooden prayer wheel like the ones made from silver that are on the market, but we never got around to it...

some time ago, we were asked by a good friend to try and make them, if it where possible because he has never seen one on the market and wondered if there was a reason why...

that rekindled a long forgotten fire!

we gave it a shot and it came out stunning!

i must say that there is a reason why they are not on the market, it is so hard to lathe such a small prayer wheel! and to paint it is even harder!

but, non the less, here it is!
hope you like it!

unbelivable...

thoughts..

we would like to thank all the good people that give us all this positive feedback on our work, it's really heart warming!
we feel very blessed and satisfied to be able to make these prayer wheels, if you shop around on the net, you will only find 3 places that make wooden prayer wheels with microfilm and ball bearings, and we are one of thoes 3... that means something...

again, thank you all!
