Long Textile Necklace in Burgundy

I've been enjoying making some textile necklaces recently. They're all little pouches (or pockets) where you can stash a favourite item or lucky charm, a poem or love letter...whatever you want to keep close to your heart all day long.
You could even keep some emergency cash in there maybe...

This one is all burgundy - my latest colour crush. 
I find it such a great colour for winter.

This one has already found its way into my MagicalFairytale shop.

My Creative Space- Waxed Cord Sister Bracelets

The other day my sister requested some waxed cord bracelets, as the old ones had given up the ghost after about a year of constant wear -and tear. (She never takes them off, not even in the shower or at the beach.)

These three bracelets are the fruit of our collaboration.

We're both very pleased with them, even though we have totaly different taste -in just about everything. 

The trick is that we both get our say in how each of these bracelets is made.

She  brings me the key elements she'd like it to have and then I'm allowed to decide about the rest of it.

It's great fun.

We also made a pair of earrings with some big, beautiful, carved coral flowers -that I couldn't photograph because she wouldn't part with them......

 Now I'm hooked again, so it's quite possible you'll be seeing a few of these around here in the near future....
