Knot So Casual

Knot So Casual Handmade knotted satin cord jewelry that transforms casual materials into not-so-casual style. During the pandemic, I explored it again and couldn't stop.

I've always been a maker and had experimented with Chinese and Celtic knotting in the past. I find knotting very meditative and love combining button knots and snake knotting with inexpensive plastic, wood, and base metal beads and materials to create jewelry that's deceptively deluxe. I also use:

--Genuine semiprecious stones like sodalite, Amazonite, and onyx
--Stones I tumble myself, often fro

m Michigan beaches (Lake Superior agates, quartz)
--Beads made of glass, bone, Lake Huron driftwood, acrylic, ceramic and more
--Vintage beads from old jewelry

Although I make some wire-strung necklaces, the majority are crafted with 2 mm satin cord, making them soft, light and comfortable to wear. I also make bracelets and earrings, available for sale at craft shows. I never make the same thing twice, so every KSC creation is one of a kind.

This shade of (what I call) apricot cord is definitely a favorite, especially soft to the touch, too. Bracelet is up on Etsy, along with another bracelet using the same cord and champagne crow beads, but different accent beads because I'm not kidding, I never make the same thing twice.

The project I was supposed to be working on when the weird green and black necklace happened. Another necklace of course. Pictures won't do the 1mm olive cord justice, it's a really beautiful gold-green hue.

Made this crazy necklace the other night. Sometimes I start to work on a project, and end up completely off topic. Wire strung, about 19 inches. India glass beads, recycled vintage black glass beads, acrylic green beads and some glass bicones.

Sneak peek of yet another necklace in progress. Large hole beads can be challenging to find, so I grab them whenever I can and don't always get a lot of info about them, like the agate beads. The Bead Chest has been a reliable source of large hole beads - that's where the striped recycled paper beads are from.
