Who Can Resist a Giveaway?

The thoroughly crafts-knowledgeable and mind-blowingly cool blog site Craftypod is conducting a giveaway of my book Micro-Macrame: 30 Beaded Designs for Jewelry Using Crystals and Cords. Hie thee hither and leave an entry as to why you should be the lucky recipient! The contest ends tomorrow.

  1. Annika - I love your new book. I just recently started playing around with micro macrame. I would love to make your "Secret Garden Bracelet" as a gift for a friend. However, I'm having trouble finding a rectangular slider similar to the one used in your project. Would you mind sharing your resource for a similar slider? Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful projects. Linda

  2. I found the ones I used at JoAnn Fabrics and Ben Franklins and Michaels. You might try:

    Make sure the "slider" has two sets of holes underneath.

    Also - here's one really close in design/color to the one used in the book:
