10,000 water prayer beads

I am working on another prayer bead project, this time using the paper from consumer goods that require the addition of water, ie. tea and instant oatmeal. I'm planning on a series of 108 prayer strands of 108 prayer beads each, the traditional number of beads in a mala used for counting chant and mantra. Some of the other papers I will be using are newsprint from Joshua Tree and Cape Cod National Parks, which reference water in counterpoint to one another, and a pack of construction paper I found on the New York City streets soaked by rain into organic patterns.
