17 part Turks head all cotton custom colors #100

Pearl grey and a subtle shade of eggplant go together quite nicely. It's always a surprise when the material comes out of the dyebath to see the various shades of color. After rinsing out the excess dye the color sometimes fades which makes interesting combinations possible.

The base material is Darcie 3 mm cotton cord which has a braided cover visible in the photo. The smooth finish brings out the pattern of the knot and the color lending a more contemporary appearance to the finished piece.

wrapped irregular fiber bangle - red and grey #101

What to do with all the leftover materials from making turks heads? There are always lengths of cord in different colors that are cut off after working the knots up to a finished shape.

The core of these are nylon cord worked into a grommet and then secured or wrapped with cotton cord left over from the other projects. The cord is unwound or unwrapped to make it workable and show the variegated color patterns created by the dye penetrating the cord during the dying process.

See the collections on the Etsy site. Individual pieces may be ordered or you can get an entire set of three. Lots of different color combinations as I'm using whatever is available in the workshop.

Turks head sailor bracelet in natural and blue #102

Here's another mix of the "natural" cotton and a center strand of cord dyed blue. The cable cord gives the piece a classic look of "rope" as the twisted construction of the cord recalls the lay of traditionally made manilla rope.

The mix of color makes this a fun variation on the single color designs. All cotton materials are worked up to an even shape and ends are stitched and trimmed.
