Check this out! A reader, Eric, sent in a picture of his hemp necklace that he made. He used glass beads and for a focal he used a carabiner hook. How unique is that??

I need your help. I am trying to figure out what knots are used in this design.  Anyone know???

Please take a look at this bracelet . Does anyone know what knot is used to make it? I am wondering if it is a muli strand braid.

A free key chain or hemp jewelry kit to the one who figures this out first.  I know nothing huge or anything, but thought it might be fun to give something away for a little bit of help ;)

NOTE: The knot has been figured out! See comments. Contest is done.

Thanks!

I have been thinking lately about beads and hemp jewelry. Do people enjoy different and unique beads for their jewelry? Do they prefer the same type of beads that you see in a lot of stores that carry hemp jewelry made overseas? I see a lot of bone type beads, small wooden beads and the same colors of beads in these stores, and to ME they are boring.

I have come to a block in making my hemp jewelry. Which is kind of obvious going through my site, as there is not many styles to choose from as I have been clearing out designs that do not sell. It is so hard to know what will sell and what won’t, what people like and what they do not like.  Ever have a piece of jewelry that you think is so cool and unique and then no one likes it?

I guess I am not a marketing type of gal. It is all about knowing and researching your market, and suppling to them what they want.

When you choose your beads for making hemp jewelry what do you look for? Specific colors? Materials? for example glass, wood, polymer clay, lamp work, sea glass. Do you pick what you like and hope others will like it as well? Do you go with trends that you see? I am curious to see what others think about this and how you choose what your jewelry will look like.
