sailor inspiration




lately, i've been pretty inspired by simple white crisp cotton knots, tied so intricately, to form elegant pieces of jewelry. obviously, i like the knot-like-ness of crochet (and by my recent crisp white ruffly layers), but even something a little more unstructured, like this gorgeous necklace.  someone sent me a link to this (but i don't have the source!) but think it's pretty amazing.



or i could even see something simple like this monkey knot, reworked as a main piece in a necklace. but obviously you know, not the size of a doorstop.



and a big centerpiece like this would be absolutely gorgeous! i'm not even sure what kind of knot this is, but it would make for a spectacular necklace.

A beautiful blog, if you have a spare moment, perhaps you would like to see some other stuff.. you have my permission to use any 2 or 3 for your blog if you wish, (I'm into spreading knowledge and sharing our planet...) oh and by the way if you want any questions answered on anything to do with knots, (I'm writing a book on the subject), please, just ask...
My very best wishes, Peter.
