All knotted up...pearl knotting


My daughter, Dana, who started me in this endevour has taught me a new skill... pearl knotting.
This first time she tried to show me did not go well. So for Mother's Day she explained it to me again and I am hooked. The most important thing she showed me was that the knot can be undone if you make a mistake. I have undone a lot of knots this week!
I started with large wooden beads and redid that one twice. Then progressed to real pearls and finished adding the clasp to that one today. So this new skill needs practice, but it is a start.
Thanks for stopping by. regina aka red

  1. Hi Regina! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog :-) I love that your daughter taught you this new technique (and the beads on the last necklace are such gorgeous green!).
    Best,
    Michelle
