Sample by: Janice Parsons

Pulling together the many shades of purple found in native wildflowers, this 3-wrap design grows joyfully with each new section. Bright, colorful C-Lon used in the macramé embellished with seed beads keeps this design upbeat and playful. Purple lovers are hopefully going to love it, but we hope it will appeal to everyone. If you want to add color, we think mustard would be a wonderful addition and play up other colors found in Nature’s flowers.

Project Map

Desert Lavender

The total length of Desert Lavender is 22 inches including the 3/4” clasp. This 3-wrap design uses galvanized eggplant seed beads to edge the macramé sections, which vary in length from 3-1/2” to 6-1/2”. Spread out your components along the leather and place them in an arrangement that gives you a balance of macramé, metal and plain leather from any angle.
