Take some natural hemp twine, a few bone beads incised with patterns. Some tiny wooden seed beads and with some cinnamon mock suede thong, I knotted, plaited and threaded.... and another of my unique ethnic designs was created! The necklace was finished with antique brass ends, clasp and extension chain. The necklace measures 52 -55 cms. (20.75- 21.50 inches) from end to end. The longest pendant measures 9cms. (3.50 inches)

Wonderful natural colours! How can you resist it?

I made these earrings to compliment the Ethnic Signs Necklace
http://www.etsy.com/listing/80407965/black-and-brown-bone-and-natural-hemp
I used five strands of natural hemp twine and threaded onto them a black tube bone bead and a brown round bead both incised with patterns. I then knotted the five strands together and finished off each strand with tiny wooden seed bead and then a knot to hold them securely.
I finished the earrings with antique brass ear wires.

Wonderful natural colours! Ethnenticity!

Length: from hook 5.5 cms. (2.25 inches)

  1. I admire your patience to tie all those tiny little knots. I appreciate the work that goes into these pieces.
