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.

I encourage you to take a look at all of the projects in the book; by learning only five knots, you'll quickly discover how easy it is to create your own elegant, beaded micro-macramé beauties. To see some of the jewelry featured in the book and other bits and pieces of my art, have a looksie at my gallery.

If you would like an autographed copy, be sure to check my calendar to see where I'll be in the coming months.

Incidentally, the book can also be ordered from Amazon or Barnes and Nobles.
