~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~About~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Knotwork Creations was created in September of 2009 by me, Amanda Belflower. My childhood friends taught me how to tie knots. We would sit on the trampoline during the Missouri summers and make friendship bracelets for each other. I always wanted to have a business selling my creations, even when I was younger. Which is what fed the fire to what is today, Knotwork Creations.
The knots I use to make my jewelry is half hitch and macrame knots. All items are knotted in smoke free environment. I use 100% cotton embroidery thread for almost all my creations. I am also interested in using other materials for knotting as well. The beads and pendants you see are made from various materials. Some are glass, some are plastic, or even precious stones are used. I use new materials as well as recycled.
Friendship bracelets are bracelets given from one friend to another as a symbol of friendship.The knot craft and hand weaving used to create traditional patterns stems from Native American handcrafts, particularly from Central American tradition. According to indigenous tradition, the recipient of a friendship bracelet must wear it until the cords wear out and fall off naturally. The idea is that the friend paid for it with the hard work and love that made it, and the recipient repays the friend by honoring the work. Removing the bracelet before it naturally falls off is a sign that the friendship has gone sour. Another variation of this tradition is that the recipient of a bracelet is entitled to a wish. After the bracelet wears out and falls off naturally, the wish will come true!
