1000 Sales and more intricate Macrame designs!

So, we did it. We hit 1000 sales on our Etsy Page. I'm so happy that I've been able to sustain for this long. A lot of people say that its pretty hard to have a successful Etsy store, and thay are right. It is a lot of work. But its been worth it to be able to spend my time doing something I love, and sharing my designs with people who enjoy them, meeting cool people along the way.

So, I had been pretty much doing the same knots for a long time on my designs. Square knot, lace knot and fish bone encompassed much of my design work. I had gotten crazy enough to make combination's of these knots on some of my pieces, such as my V necklaces. But honestly, it had been a couple of years since I say down and learned something new. I thought with the success of my store, I should add some more elegant and intricate macrame designs.

So, I got out my old 1970s macrame book that my friend got for me, and cranked out some new stuff.
I made this watchband (which comes with the watch) with 10 strands of black unwaxed hemp. The design neatly wrapps around the rainbow moonstone beads, hugging the piece together.

I also made 2 bracelets using 10 strands, with a similar knot style in different variances. All of these pieces have a very sturdy feel to them, like a band of canvas.

A special thanks to all of my customers for supporting my art and making my life happier than ever!
