Beaded Macramé’ Jewelry: Stylish Designs, Exciting New Materials
by Sherri Haab
“Macramé’ is back with a fresh new look!”
In Beaded Macramé’ Jewelry, best selling author Sherri Haab takes the craft far beyond the hemp, jute, and clunky wooden and plastic beads of yesteryear, with beautiful jewelry projects that feature colorful, fine cords and shimmering glass and semiprecious beads.
This thorough introduction to macramé’ includes an overview of essential materials, clear illustrations that demonstrate simple knotting techniques, and 22 step-by-step projects – bracelets, earrings, rings, and necklaces, plus a belt, a purse and an iPod pouch – that are fun, stylish and easy to make.
Modern materials such as fine cord allow Haab to explore unusual applications of this ancient craft. Her delicate bohemian earrings are works of art in miniature. Beautiful cabochon rings are small but stunning projects. Using combinations of shimmering pearls and light blue stones, Haab designs a “Mermaid Necklace,” that showcases a netted patter of knots in a nautical design. A funky watchband is personalized with alphabet charms. And, an up-to-date iPod pouch is far removed from yesteryear’s old jute plant hangers, as Haab adapts an ancient craft to the mot modern of electronics.”
