Your macrame designs are unique and lovely. The tie dangles on this bracelet are similar to a pair of purple spiral earrings you made. (I adore those earrings!) Are there instructions somewhere on how to make spirals like this? I appreciate any help you can give. :)
A big thank you for your kind words! :) If you know the double half hitch well, the spirals shouldn't be a problem: after you've made a first row of these hitches, just use the same leading cord for the very first hitch you've just made. So your leading cord will always make a circle and the knotting cords stay the same, so that way you get a tube... If you want this tube to get thicker (for the dangle to be an oval shape), you add new short cords, thinner - you hide them inside. Unfortunately I can't help you with the link, but I would look for smth like "double half hitch tutorial" on youtube. I hope this could help ;;
