 My new book Micro-Macramé: 30 Beaded Designs for Jewelry Using Crystals and Cords is now available in bookstores and right here.Micro-Macramé is an elegant, flowing art form sinuously shifting from knot to knot, creating waves of thread and stone. I use semi-precious stones, glass beads, Austrian and Czech crystals and found objects in many of my designs because I am continually mesmerized by the look of these materials.My inspiration comes from children's books, second-hand stores, textiles, overheard conversations and imaginative what-ifs. My jewelry designs are meditations in color and texture. I often fall into an altered state as I work my way through a knotted piece. Some of my macramé pieces reflect the intricate meanderings that encompass my everyday life. Other pieces, like my openwork macramé bracelets and chokers, are floaty little snippets of shimmery stained glass made to frame a wrist or neck.
Incidentally, the book can also be ordered from Amazon or Barnes and Nobles. |
