Wrap a Stone

Two projects in two days. I've learned a lot making these pendants. What I need is to learn how to work with wire. Not necessarily wire wrapping of stones, but working with wire in general so that I could make frames and metal elements myself. The green design didn't turn out exactly as I wanted, and I think it was because I needed some wire elements to support the macrame work. I'm also thinking about trying out the Cavandoli technique.

I would never have courage to wear this funny pendant. Imagine conversations you could have if you wear it to a night club :)

Rainbow Colors

201306 rainbow bracelet by Dabu's Macrame Creations
This is a bracelet for a special occasion, which is the CSD in Berlin. As always it was a great party and THE place to be this weekend...

I like this bracelet design: it is very easy and takes maybe one hour to make. I already have some ideas how to change it  using different colors and adding beads.

Artemano

Usually I get my inspirations from online research, but I almost never imitate the works I liked or download tutorials. Firstly because I don't have the same supplies as used in the picture, and secondly, if I know from the picture how to make a piece, I can't help changing it into something new.
The works of this great macrame artist are a real challenge. I look for example at this amazing bracelet and I have no idea how he (or she? or they?) made it. I found Artemano a couple of months ago and I know for sure I won't get my peace till I've cracked one of his works and made something that looks exactly like it.
oh, I see it sounds a little criminal :)
