Review
If your idea of macrame art is plant hangers made of jute, Santa Fe jewelry artist Joan Babcock has an update for you. Using silky "micro" cords and mastering just a few simple knots, beaders can expand their design repertoire to include delicate macrame elements in their projects. Babcock's book offers very clear instructions, excellent diagrams and ten enticing projects. --Beadwork, October/November 2006
This wonderful book effectively translates several traditional knots into tailored, seemingly woven pieces created from fine, richly colored cord. The excellent black-and-white illustrations make creating the complex pieces possible for everyone, and the extra attention devoted to finishing was a pleasant surprise. --Bead and Button Magazine, February 2006
