I like using different materials from time to time to see how they look with the macrame knots. This necklace is made with green ribbon tied in a twist knot and has a hand made wire flower pendant.


Sometimes less is more. This simple white twist necklace pairs beautifully with a large wooden bead with a tribal feel. 


A funky, chunky necklace for those who like to make a statement with their hemp jewelry. The beads are roughly the same size and the necklace is a classic twist knot using thick gauge (2mm) hemp.


I decided to mix things up a little in the necklace below and make a long, square knot with my regular (1mm) hemp. 


Below is an extremely successful experiment using brown and natural colored hemp in very fine strands, a switch knot, several glass accent beads and simulated pearls. The pendant is a bell I picked up in a local variety shop.


This necklace is one that my husband has declared as a favorite. I used waxed brown hemp, which often looks like leather with glass and faux pearl beads. The pendant is a denim button set in a bottle cap and coated with resin to create an almost stone like presence.
