It is made by Alenalea Design on Etsy. A nice thread to work with and I particularly liked this lovely mix of colours called Guinevere. I thought my little flower would be great to show off the colours… I made one earring and then thought of a friend who doesn't wear earrings so I came up with this necklace idea.
See how pretty the thread colours are?
I paired it with leafy greens by Lizbeth.
I think I will make one for my shop but may change the angle of the leaves on the next one. I also tried something new and made a macrame knot closure which is adjustable. It's great and there's no need for findings.
It's Remembrance this Sunday and although I showed this to you last year, I just took it out of the drawer today to pin it to my coat and thought how much I like this poppy, design by Jennifer Williams, so I thought I'd show it to you again.
I think I should probably change the plastic stem eventually but I really like the way this poppy looks and always get compliments when I wear it.
Best wishes,
Frivole
The necklace is lovely! I have some of Alenalea's threads, but I haven't tried them yet. She does have some beautiful colors.

I remember the poppy and was going to make one this year but it got side tracked and I found the pattern on Tuesday but I doubt if I will get time to make one.
