I can not tell you how good it feels to be home after a months absence. My bed, my shower...spring, green grass and my three loving purring kitties. It feels like a vacation!
In the past month I have made a whole pile of jewelry..lots of necklaces and earrings and a few bracelets. I also acquired loads of antique brass stampings for jewelry making, some will be available in my etsy shop later this week
. Here is a bracelet I call Cliff Walk. This was my first time using waxed cord. I knotted some fabulous Czech glass beads and used copper wire to wrap the strand.
I made a coil loop for a closure and added a antique mother of pearl button. I love this design and will surely be making a few more.
My concerns are with the waxed cord...how does the cord hold up over time? I am sure lots of you have used it before and if you have any suggestions as to a good quality cord, I would so appreciate it.
Where thou art, that is home.

I love it! I've used waxed linen a lot and it holds up quite well. I learned macrame years ago and recently returned to knotting due to the price of silver ( what are we going to do?)
ReplyDeleteI just bought a heavier cord to use with larger hole beads and it seems quite sturdy.
Glad you're home!
I always look forward to a trip but nothing is better than being in your own home. Love the bracelet. I used to do a lot of beading and used waxed cord a lot and I have never encountered any problems with it.
ReplyDeleteLove the bracelet! I really like button clasp. I am glad you are home... there really is no place like home! I don't know about the wax cord but I hope it works for you!
ReplyDeletei love those colors, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHome...ahhh! The bracelet is gorgeous! Love the button clasp! Can't help you with the wax cord though.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back home! I am sure the kitties are so glad to have you back.
ReplyDeleteGreta bracelet and wonderful subdued colors Judy! Glad you are home and able to relax again!
ReplyDeleteI have waxed cord for about 2 months now still waiting to be used!
