For me, colour and texture rule and most of the inspiration feeding my imagination comes from the natural world. I see knitting as art, as viable as any other, and no matter what the tool or preferred palette, in human hands, magic happens.

Bead Kits

I have many passions, one being beads. I collect them wherever I go, always seeking out the unique, the most interesting, stones with special finishes or inclusions. I've been known to barter with Berbers in Morocco, commission raku in California and forage for stones in the Grand Bazarre in Istanbul.  My cup (bead drawer) floweth over. Time to de-stash.

These packs are compiled by color with a mix of accents perfect for embellishing knitwear or even for beaders looking for a special accent or two. Check here regulary as the offerings will always be changing.



TURKISH TASSEL SOLO

Turkish Tassel Solo
 
 
This tassel holds central court on the original cluster of three with the bottom two making up the Turkish Tassel Duo pack. This fellow does not have as much brasswork as the pair but does have the added hand-sewn blue beads along its top. All handmade and antique, it's a stunning addition to a shawl bottom or to so many other creative projects. Brass and cotton cording.

Price: $25.00

Recent Comments I am delighted to find that you also write. I've been following your knitting site and was so happy that your novel is about an angel in New Orleans, well, maybe not "about" an angel, but it's in the title, so... I've visited New Orleans several times (Just 3) visiting my brother when he lived there and we combed through the cemeteries. That's where I found the angel who was sobbing with her head covered in grief for the passing of her sister. It was so moving that I have the photo framed in our hall. She's beautiful. Couldn't wait to order your book! Thanks!
