Micro macrame
I have been interested and fascinated by some of the micro macrame techniques that I have seen on the web. A while ago I experiemented with this technique and yesterday I came across Knotgypsy’s blog where patterns for micro macrame jewellery are available. I thought it would be fun to give it another go and so ordered a couple of patterns. The micro macrame beaded bracelet that I am showing here is based on the micro macrame spiral bracelet/anklet pattern. I chose a colour palette that reminded me of the sea.
Full view showing the lovely blue glass beads I found in my ‘oddments’ bead pot and the grey shiny button incorporated as the clasp.
A portion of the main part of the macrame work.

The days of hairy plant pot holders have truly gone! (Although there is nothing wrong with them if that is what you like, lol!).
I thought I would add here some good macrame sites for your interest:
http://www.micromacrame.com/ - online micro macrame beading classes, member’s gallery and discussion board.
http://www.elainecraft.com/ - good resource for learning macrame.
http://www.knotgypsy.blogspot.com/ - Knotgypsy sells patterns for micromacrame jewellery in her Etsy shop.
