Knotting blooms
Got to complete knotting one of the “bloom” tags yesterday (to my satisfaction, that is). Finally. What do you think of it? The pink bloom is a traditional art form of Chinese knotting which has many variations and therefore known by many names.
Ancient knotters would use silk cords, now, it has been replaced by rattail, which is made of satin. For me, I choose cotton cord, for its non-silky texture, hue and the good thing is, it’s stiff enough to hold all knots together.
The ornaments accompanying the bloom are a bright combination of beads, buttons, stainless steel washers and a smaller knotted lilac bloom hanging off the washer.

Hi Clara
Thanks for visiting my blog and for the lovely comments. I looked at your other blog, but could not see a way of leaving a comment, so I’m glad you visited again and I found this one.
I think that the pink bloom tag is lovely and a great addition to a bag.
