Basket Total:
This is a “made to measure” collection of designs for individuals and not mass produced. Each item is hand made by tying literally hundreds or thousands (in some cases) of knots and taking many hours to complete. There are some standard measurements listed in the descriptions, but if they do not meet your requirements please give me your actual measurements upon ordering.
The range of articles that I make is wide and varied; the collection presented here is just a small selection. If you would like to see more please contact me for a range of bags, purses, leather belts and jewellery, brooches, necklaces, light pulls, furnishings, book marks, and I’m sure there must be more but I’ve forgotten!
I hope you enjoy browsing and if you like my designs and want something exclusive to yourself, I’ll be happy to create a design for you; just contact me.

Me in my Bronze Age uniform having a break from demonstrating!
I am a self taught knot addict and a member of the International Guild of Knot Tyers. I was given a macramé kit as a present in the 1970’s and enjoyed making it up so much I bought some books and am still learning today! I am blessed with a natural ability for tying knots into imaginative and original designs without the use of patterns; I can work from just a picture or an idea, taking inspiration from many sources such as nature and ancient Egypt to make jewellery, bags, belts, clothing, sculptures and masks. This has led me to create unique hand crafted items for commissions and meet many diverse and colourful people including belly dancers, Druids and Spiritualists. (Gladiators, Romans, Celts and Mediaeval Knights!)
I was invited by Home & Garden magazine to write an article on macramé in the home, giving ideas for furnishings, entitled “Knots in design”; it was published in their August 2004 issue.
I am also fascinated by the History of Knots, both the usage and superstition/folklore.
I give talks when invited and demonstrate regularly at Flag Fen Bronze Age Centre in Peterborough, England, and in the past at Ruddington Framework Knitters Museum (Victorian) in Nottingham, England (Very apt) as knotting fits historically in both eras.
I also run small workshops (maximum of 6 people) as I have frequently been asked how and where they can learn this ancient craft. I am pleased to say that I have fuelled a few people, who have made the compulsory pot holder and then got bored, into getting knotted again!
