The Missing Macrame Earrings (Post 63)

Whilst updating my Charters Creations FB I realised that Week 4 Earring Beadalong had not been shared on my blog.  Not that its anything 'outstanding' but it does still deserve a mention!

I think I recall telling you that many years ago I used to make macramed Wall Plaques. These were made from mariners' jute, which is quite a thick rope and were quite striking as wall hangings.  Very popular in Germany in the mid 80s. Macrame's popularity slipped away ... only now it would appear, (like a lot of fashion), to be on the increase.  No longer were pot holders, lampshades and other larger items being macramed but Jewellery, (no not the hippy friendship bracelets); something that is being termed as 'micro macramé jewellery'.  This  seems to be the current buzz word. 




I was intrigued to learn more and added it to my 'must do' list ... which by the way I can't possibly do unless I live to be 100!

I looked on it as being similar to my last blog ... you need to know the basics to get past the goal posts.  And ... Week 4 and Week 5 Earrings are the result.


Only a few knotting techniques were used, which are very simplistic.  Hopefully, over the next .... weeks/months you will see some more detailed work.  That's the plan anyway.
