Macrame Rings

My friend, Feej was the one who inspired this project!

These are the few pieces I made with my left over waxed cotton cord. They are RM7 a piece. However, a plain ring (without charm) is RM5 a piece.

I just purchased Black and Dark Brown cotton cords, so you can choose between the two colours :)

Sizes:-

Small - approximately 1.7 cm in diameter

Medium - approximately 2.3 cm in diameter

Large - approximately 2.5 cm in diameter

* Rings are slightly expandable

* Small charms look pretty good with these rings. I prefer the silver charms but it's a matter of preference, doncha think? :)

My short stint as a glassbead maker :)

It's been about a month since my first glass bead-making class at my friend, Derek's workshop. Jean, my other friend, took a few snaps of me whilst I was pretending to be engrossed in my work...

Aren't my safety glasses groovy?

Putting on the design with my stringer

Heating up the bead to let the design sink in

Rolling the bead on the graphite paddle to smoothen the edges

Here's a few of the beads I made during my first 3 lessons-

I'm still new at this, so I've got a long way to go. I was telling my sis that my beads look like I made them with my feet. But I think after a few tries, they turned up pretty okay, hihi.

I'm taking a few practice sessions to work on my bead-making and come up with new designs to incorporate in my charm bracelets.

InsyaAllah I'll upload pics of the new beads I'll be making :)

Hiya folks!

This time around I'll be incorporating clay/polymer beads in my charm bracelets. I got these beads from my friend, Adlis, from Johor Bharu. Check out her blog and fren's flickr album to view her work. Gotta admit, the lady's got real talent!

These bracelets are RM25 a piece.
