What exactly does Haberdashery mean?
In this blog hop, the participants are to design a piece of jewelry inspired by sewing.
Sewing notions include cloth, thread, yarn, trims, button, zippers, etc. I found a fun fiber
pack from my scrapbooking days that I used for my necklace inspiration.
The 10 separate fibers were separated into a group of 8 and I used my Kumihimo disc
to make a 12" rope. I am a ceramic bead artist, so with clay I made 2 cones to hide
the ends of the rope. I also made the focal hibiscus pendant.
I thought it looked neat to leave the loose fiber ends overflowing the top of the
ceramic cones. I used a piece of 20g antique copper wire to attach the rope to the
chain pieces that end with a chunky toggle. In the middle of the rope, I used thread
and sewed the pendant onto the rope. I put a piece of wire on the back of the pendant like
a button shank so it would lay flat. It took me 2 tries to get it in the middle!
Thank you to our blog hostess, Melissa Trudinger, for coming up with this unique
and fun hop! Please check out what all the participants have come up with! If you'd
