Gorgeous Micro Macrame Jewelry by Ifat Creations Posted: 19 Jul 2011 04:13 AM PDT Stunning. Amazingly intricate. This is micro macrame jewelry like you've never seen before!  The awesome designs are by Madrid based Ifat Nesher who has an Etsy store. You can also see more of her gorgeous creations on her website. She works in theater and art, stumbling into micro macrame jewelry only months ago and then only by chance.  Ifat adds, " And as a good friend of mine says, when it starts by chance just go for it because you never know where it leads!" Her pieces certainly show her artistic flair and color sense. I had a difficult time choosing my favorites as she had so many outstanding designs. Shown above is her Sevilla necklace inspired by the orange trees in that part of Spain. The colors perfectly match those of the Murano murrine beads. There is almost an architectural or even tribal look about her necklace designs. Her "Falling Pearls" necklace below is made from waxed thread and small Indian silver beads : Her micro macrame earrings are so exquisite they remind one of filigree work : Before You Go : How to Make Macrame Jewelry Tutorials How to Make Friendship Bracelets Use Your Fingers to Make this Macrame Necklace How to Make Finger Looped Bracelets Via For more tutorials check out my Jewelry Making Tips Liked what you read?
