Ideal for beginners, this book contains 20 contemporary jewellery and accessory projects, including necklaces, earrings, bracelets and headbands. * Craft Focus, October/November issue * Macrame artist Strambio (Macrame for the Modern Home) shows how to create knotted jewellery in this chic guide. To help beginners get started, she provides instructions for creating basic knots and knotting patterns and offers guidance on choosing types of string, noting that braided string doesn't unravel while suede string's softness makes it ideal for bracelets and necklaces. The 20 projects include such boho-style accessories as a diamond-patterned headband, earrings with unravelled string made to look like feathers, and a necklace made of black tassels tied to a wooden ring. Strambio also shows how to make a white and teal belt, a white camera strap, and a white and terracotta-coloured keyring with knots that resemble daisies. Sharing tips of the craft, the author recommends wrapping the end of a string with masking tape to avoid fraying when adding beads (as in her gold-bead bracelet) and using a pet brush to straighten unravelled fringes. Macrame novices will appreciate the simple yet elegant designs, and though the projects are light on visual instruction, the author's directions are easy to follow. Those eager to try macrame would do well to start here. * Publishers Weekly * Oh, we do love combining our crafts. Especially when those crafts are macrame and jewellery making, two of the most beautiful techniques around. A celebration of creativity and of women, is how Isabella Strambio describes Macrame Jewellery, which aims to tap into the healing power of crafts. Whilst providing you with some knockout projects of course! The whole book has a calm, serene feel to it, with muted colours never looking so beautiful. * Crafts Beautiful, January 2023 * Just as macrame homeware has been given a stylich makeover in recent years, Isabella Strambio does the same with jewellery.
