A small hanging decoration tied from 8mm hand-laid rope, knotted by hand into a tight round bauble and finished with a ribbon loop. Lighter than it looks, but the construction is the same as everything in the workshop: real rope, properly made, in miniature.
Two palettes. Traditional red and green for the classic Christmas read, or icy winter blue and cream for something more restrained. The shape and finish are identical; the colour does the work.
Made to order. Allow 5-10 working days for Gem to hand-make and post.

Gem Bowes learned to make rope at Arthur Beale, the Shaftesbury Avenue chandlery that has been splicing line since 1500-something. She works now from a Cambridge studio, hand-spinning flax and dead-stock yarn for dog leads, doorstops, juggling balls.
