[NFB-Krafters-Korner] What is everyone working on these days

Thu Aug 5 19:36:39 UTC 2021

Hello krafters,
I'm working on leather macrame bracelets for men with the big silver or gold buckles.  Some are made with the alternating square knots with metal bead insertions and others are made with the double-hitch x-pattern style. 
Macrame is back in style big-time.
Annie

Ray and all, 
Reading through all of these is absolutely dazzling. Ray did something that my newbie brain was wishing others would do -- and that is ,describing a bit of the projects. 
For example, ReNee, what medium are all these animal made in? 
And Laurie, what is a flast spiral bracelet? 
Ray, can you describe a seam ripper necklace? The name conjures, for me, a nifty wooden seam ripper, suspended on a leatheror some other cord, that a krafter couldwear round his/her neck for convenience and style, but you mentioned metal, so maybe I am way way way off base!
Kudos to all of you for such amazing creativity!
Deborah

Wow! There are certainly a lot of creative and talented people on the list.

I am working on some seam ripper necklaces,  a wooden bowl,  a tactile super tic-tac-toe board and a Breast Cancer pen for a friend of a friend who has been diagnosed with cancer.

For the pen, I am learning how to cast my own acrylic pen blank by pouring an epoxy resin into a mold and using a dye to make it pink.
The clip will feature a ribbon adorned with Swarovski pink crystals.

I am making the wooden bowl  out of walnut and the tic-tac-toe board out of maple with the raised grid lines  out of walnut. I haven't decided what species of wood I will use for the pieces.

The seam ripper necklaces  are coming along and I am using Bloodwood, , Purple heart  and lacewood depending on the type of metal plating that I will use.
