Four keychains today. I made them by painting the wooden flats with acrylics, lightly varnishing them, knotting them on nylon cords and adding some complimentary beads.
We have been having crazy tropical weather here in Taiwan and I grabbed the first opportunity to take photos. You can see the raindrops on the palm tree.

… and a very short video of my son trying to take a picture of me knotting at the home school table. It was so funny I had to share.

I’ll be doing more posts like this, with a couple of knotted pieces per post. My family and I are moving to Europe and I am busy packing and cleaning and purging stuff. I still get to make jewelry everyday, just don’t have enough time to spend on the computer.:)
These pictures were taken on a palm tree leaf. I was packing some books and heard it fall outside the window. I went out and it looked so nice, I had to use it!

Black wood beads on white waxed cord knotted using the half knot sennit with a buttonhole closure.
Today, I made a bracelet with some brown, waxed cord that I found in my husband’s studio. I’m not sure if it was meant for macrame, but it was easy to work with and held the double half hitch knots well. I gave it a buttonhole closure.
I knotted this necklace in black nylon cord, beads of onyx and an obsidian tear drop pendant. I used the crown sinnet and gave it an adjustable pull closure. I worked on it for the past few days while doing other projects.

I felt like making something a bit delicate, so I got my thin nylon cord and small wood beads to make this bracelet. I used the square and butterfly knots and gave it an adjustable pull closure.
Today, I used brown nylon cord and beautiful jade cylinders. I knotted them with the square knot and gave it an adjustable pull closure.
Another wave made with the forward knot, but this time in raw, brown rope, wood beads and a buttonhole closure.
