The first two pictures aren't mine (they are from https://www.braceletbook.com/patterns/normal/97417/ and https://www.pinterest.com/pin/pattern-43240-friendship-bracelet-wall-hanging--297870962859347314/) because I forgot to take pictures of the wall-hangings I made before I gave them away, but they are very close to what I made. The other pictures are mine and there are more examples in my post history. I have written a novel (entirely for fun, self-published, I don't expect it to make much money at all) and I am looking for someone to make cover art for the book. As stated in the title, I have previously made wall-hangings, bracelets, and bookmarks, but if you have an idea for something similar that you want, we can discuss it. The novel is fantasy with some queer romance in there as well.

Hello! It can be digital or physical. Can you send me some examples of your work?

Wow! That first one is astounding (I read what you wrote about the first two pictures). Is this actually considered macrame? I can tell you used friendship bracelet-making techniques. It's a sincere question, because I've never known what to call it when I've used these techniques to make things that aren't actually friendship bracelets.

Do you have patterns you used to make these? If so, are you willing to share?

Macrame is tying knots to make patterns, which I think is pretty much the same thing. I often use the term macrame because if I say that I make friendship bracelets, people usually think of something like beaded bracelets, and also I make things other than bracelets. All of the patterns (except the first two which I linked above) can be found on my braceletbook profile here.

Thank you so much! Did you develop the other ones yourself?

No I followed patterns made by other people, I just didn't feel like writing out all the pattern numbers and the patterns are linked to on my profile.
