I have learned a new way of adding non-circular beads to macrame and was eager to have a go. I took the previous bracelet with these stones in it apart, as I wasn't happy with the cord which didn't seem strong enough to support the stones. This latest technique is called floating stitch/knot as the stones sit above the macrame and are held in place by one strand which is lifted up and then incorporated back down again.
You can see the way the stones are held above the macrame in this photo. The stones are blue sandstone, which is made from glass. I do think this is a much better way of incorporating them than just knotting them on one strand. The next technique to try will be the herringbone/fishbone stitch...
