Necklaces in Micro Macrame

Freeform micro macrame necklace by Sherri Stokey

I spent some time the last few days working on necklaces.  This piece started out as just a little bit of a doodle:

Then it ended up being a necklace.  I rather like it - it's fun to step outside my comfort zone now and again and just play around.  Let the knots fall where they will.  I do have to admit to being a perfectionist at heart, though, and asymmetry is hard for me.  Even the random placement of beads in my multiple strand bracelets takes effort!  Yes, I have to plan out my random!

I am hard at work, though.  And I am working on a CraftArtEdu.com eClass for this necklace design.  It's going to be a fabulous class, so stay tuned!

  1. Your "doodling" is beautiful. Being a perfectionist at heart I understand trying to be random. Your bracelets are beautiful and looking forward the the classes.

  5. Sherri, I love your designs but I am extactic over this blue necklace. My own designs lean very much on the side of asymmetry. I love loose, unequal designs and this blue necklace is just that. The green one also. Absolutely gorgeous!
