Mizuhiki - Japanese epic macrame

Mizuhiki is an ancient Japanese art of weaving and tying paper cords (washi paper) into elegant and complicated knots, decorations, patterns, or even shapes. It’s kind of like macramé, but more epic.

Some of the mizuhiki pieces are created and used to be used in specific ceremonies (like weddings), and have a very specific symbolism behind them.

Here are some of the examples that I found around the net:








Garden jewelry - Mrs Dazo

I was unable to find much more on this amazing artist, other than she is from Singapore, and has an Etsy shop.
Her creations are dainty, and unique. Incorporating small metal creatures and beads - they are more art than jewelry. And its all reasonably priced (although not all of the items that I found online are being sold in the store.)








Alkhemia: Pendants

These gorgeous necklaces, bracelets and other accessories are made by Alkhemia from what appears to be wire and polymer clay. Also I see that the artist uses some gems and beads as well. Unfortunately I cannot read Italian but I was able to navigate the artist's webpage with the help of trusty Google translate.

Please visit the artist's site, because the small snippet of her work that I am able to post here really does not due the justice to the sheer volume and creativity of this person. She also offers many tutorials of her work. You can also see some of her work on Flikr.
If someone is able to find more information about the artist, I would love to know and include here.
