no. 104 and no. 105 ~ Pearl, Onyx and Coral ~

This is my last post until we are settled on a new continent! My daughter and I leave next week, and I must pack my materials. I am looking forward to all the beautiful amber the Baltic Sea has to offer and exploring new markets. I won’t be away from the blog for too long because I know I can’t keep away from my cords and have already planned what to knot on the plane.

Two adjustable closure bracelets for today, made in thin brown nylon cord. The first with a single strand of gorgeous, metallic in color pearls. The second with two stands of onyx and coral.

no. 96, no. 97, no. 98 and no. 99 ~ Hand Painted Macrame Keychains ~

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.

no. 90 and no. 91 ~ Beaded Macrame Bracelets ~

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!

no. 89 ~ Macrame Bracelet in Waxed Cord ~

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.

 

no. 88 ~ Knotted Necklace with Obsidian ~

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.
