The Korean Cultural Association sponsored a Maedup (Korean knotting) class a couple weeks ago. It was fantastic! Kat and I had tried a class when we were in Korea the last time, but we didn't speak Korean, and the teacher didn't speak English, and while we had a good time, I can't say we learned too much!But with a good (I'd say great!) teacher, we were able to make our first Maedup knot to create a cord for a necklace.
I decided to add a bail to mine so I could make a glass pendant to match.
I cut a simple design -- this one means good fortune, and made a glass domed pendant.
Here's the finished product. I like it!We've got a pendant class on Sunday, October 24. Come and make your own pendant, and we may even have a few lovely cords to go with it.
Very Nice! Maedup is such a fantastic art! I discovered it a couple of years ago and have based my whole new life on it! I am a work at home mom making and selling maedup jewelry now after being PA! Big change huh? I can really say that maedup has been a lucky thing for me!
ReplyDeleteHave fun applying it to your paper crafts :)
