I bought a new book a little while ago called AlternaCrafts by Jessica Vitkus
and I made my mom a really cool bracelet that I just had to show you all!!!


It is macramed and made from washers and beads

Yay, I tried macrame for a while in middle school. My magnum opus was a hanging plant holder that I gave my father for father's day. Probably not the most appropriate gift for him, but he still hung it up!

I really like the rainbow beads inside the washers. I bet the washers are cold when you first put in on. Do they warm up nicely as you wear it?

Lovely work, thanks for sharing! heart

While I was at work today, I was reading what one of my bosses had said in the craft section of the newspaper. That even macrame was making a come back, I just snickered and thought of the 60's/70's.
Seriously though this is a really fun, modern interpretation of the medium. I'm impressed. I never thought macrame could be something nice.

I hope that your mum loved this. I certaintly do.

Oooh, that's great, I love it! I'm a sucker for any jewery that includes "hardware" and your bracelet looks really lovely.


I'm inspired smile

That bracelet is great. I have a couple of bead magazines with projects that use hardware in them, but I'm pretty sure they didn't also use macrame. I wish I had time to play with this idea.
