Spools of colorful waxed linen.
A couple of years ago I took a class from Erin Siegel where we learned to make earrings using Irish waxed linen. I’ve been happily knotting linen cording ever since!
When I first heard that Diana was hosting a waxed linen blog hop, I imagined that I would have quite a few pieces of new jewelry to show today. But I’ve been so wrapped up in making ceramic pendants lately, that it wasn’t until last night that I started to work on a necklace.
However, I do love working with with waxed linen, so making this necklace was a pleasure.
The ceramic raven pendant was made by Oh! Sullivan Studio. Most of the ceramic beads were made by Mary Hubbard of White Clover Kiln.
The dark blue ceramic beads are from Kazuri Beads. There’s some recycled glass and Czech glass beads, too. I like the way that the linen knots separate the beads, so they stand out more and the way it adds an extra bit of color.
I am looking forward to visiting all the other participants in this blog hop. Their creations will be so inspiring. I’d encourage you to visit their blogs too. The links are below.
I am always delighted to read your comments! Hope to hear from you.
