Simple grey summer collection on Etsy

Keeping it simple in the summer is wise advice offered by Krista Wilder in this simple grey summer collection now showing on Etsy. Visit Krista's shop BuyWilder to see her detailed and colorful photography. I especially like the Imagination photo with it's abstract form.

Now I'm not a bag-person but this Great Grey, Everyday Bag, Shoulder Bag, Nr - 0171 has a nice proportion and subtle fabric design which makes it elegantly understated. Check out NzLbags other fine work which ships from Europe (somewhere!)

The color of this Subtle Square on grey and white stripe Top made by Beki Wilson in her shop outofline is cool and simple summer made real. Check out Becki's website for more great work.

The featured item in this collection is the white & grey turks head knot sailor bracelet MED 1147 a very simple design that comes in multiple sizes from small to extra large. To get yours simply check the size in the listing and convo me if you want smaller or larger. I'll have a reserved listing up within a day or two. See, simple!

neon bright colors in traditional rope bracelet weaves

 Bright synthetic cord is used to create these classics. The traditional three part plain weave design made with 5/32" cord. Unlike cotton cord theses will never shrink and will never rot. The colors are integral to the material. The first example is a very bright lemon yellow in a 17 bight weave about 8 1/4" (209 mm) inside circumference. (1280)

 This example is a deep electric purple also made in a 17 bight weave design. (1281)


Find these listed in the solid colors section of the ArtFire  shop. If you like the color but need a different size please message me: use the "contact artisan" button on the left side of the screen.

This one is a really nice blue color that is impossible to replicate in cotton. The size is smaller only 6 3/4" (174 mm) made in a 14 bight pattern. (1282)


More neon brights can be found in the Etsy Shop.

Kid stuff - three styles made especially for children 1292

A Michigan mom wanted some gifts for her kids and requested three very different designs all made extra small to fit over tiny hands.
Upper left is a black multi strand cord bracelet with red beads similar to this item in the Etsy shop. A wilder version of this design can be seen here.
On the right is a grey and white turks head knot bracelet which is a replica of this adult sized bracelet also available in wider designs like this one or in a medium width design.
In the center is a square knot macrame bracelet with a green glass bead very similar to this one. Other slip-on style macrame bracelets can be seen here on the blog or visit the square knot bracelets section of the Zibbet shop.

a little green and grey one for the little ones 1163

 Here's a fun little (kid sized) bracelet made from the short ends of cord bundles that have been used to make larger bracelets. This one is a mere 5 1/2" (140 mm) inside circumference perfect for a child or 'tween. 100% cotton cord is hand dyed in small batches. The colors are copper green and grey. The ends have been stitched to keep it from falling apart with the kind of heavy use that kids put everything through!

Find a collection of children's sized rope bracelets on Zibbet. While I try to keep a variety of colors and sizes it is possible that you may not find exactly what you want. I am happy to take custom requests and my prices are the same for the custom work as they are for the in-stock items.

delicate designs made with small material

A herringbone weave design using 1.5 mm high density nylon cord.


This is a 34 bight design but due to the small diameter of the material it measures only 6 1/4" inside circumference, about the right size for a child or young teen.


This type of high tech nylon cord was found at an Eastern Mountain Sports EMS shop. Many outdoor gear suppliers offer these types of high grade nylon cords in all kinds of color combinations. This one happens to be a classic red/black mix


See this and a number of other unique patterns and color combinations at these three online venues:


ArtFire
Etsy
Zibbet

Here we see a typical three part common turks head weave using the 1.5 mm high density nylon cord. This one is a bit larger measuring 7" inside diameter and available here:

http://www.etsy.com/listing/54505250/child-size-red-and-black-nylon-knot

The flat or common weave is clearly visible in this view. 


These smaller materials create a much smaller scale weave pattern which goes well with smaller hands or for those who like a more refined look.

Black leather 3 x 14 #112

The classic three part design in black leather for durable long term wear. This is a "medium" size for a small adult hand. The leather stretches somewhat from the 7" interior circumference.

Larger and smaller sizes are available with a 2 day lead time - send wrist circumference with order.

The ends are left loose so the bracelet can be tightened up once in place on your wrist.

Order from the Etsy store and reference item #112

repost - three strand sailor's bracelet collection #130

Here's a repost of the traditional sailor's bracelets done in nylon cord. These are three strand "narrow" turks heads available through many outlets and online. 

These bracelets are left loose and may be worked up to a smaller size by removing slack from the knot. The ends may then be trimmed for a neat appearance.

These will not shrink when wet because they are made of nylon.

Request one or more of these by visiting the Etsy store and reference item #130

Sailor's knot turks head bracelet collection #3

The three on the left are three sizes (S, M, L) done in white white cotton.

The brown one is polyester cord, a bit smaller.

The two on the right are nylon done in silver/black and pink/black.
