Daisies have always been one of my favorite flowers - soft and pretty without being overly showy. When I saw this pendant by Heather Powers of Humblebeads, I was definitely smitten. Not only is it a daisy, but it's done in my favorite colors of teal and olive green with a dash of mustard yellow. I've been on a kick lately with knotting half knot sinnets in several colors of cord to make a braid that looks a lot like kumihimo, so I pulled cord to match the pendant.
I knotted it together into a spiraling micro macrame cord.
Then I decided it needed a little something special, so I knotted a matching bail to suspend the pendant.
I was having such a good time playing with these colors that I made a couple pair of earrings, too!
Aren't these great colors for autumn?
Using half knot sennits instead of kumihimo is a great idea! I have been unhappy with the unavailability of a kumihimo disk where I stay, so I'm definitely gonna give this a try -- it looks real good.
ReplyDeleteThe colors look fabulous on the earrings!
Thank you so much for adding the Video Knot Tutorials, this is great. I remember one day going all the way back through your blog looking for one to refresh myself. I love this necklace. The cords are perfectly matched and the earrings just set it off. I understand half knots but how do you get the softer flow to the knot. Love daisies, painted them for years and have a flower bed of daisies.
