For my next fiber exploration I looked to the past for unique weaving techniques. Macrame is something I have always found simple and beautiful. After doing my Pinterest research and looking up different macrame designs I was ready to do some experimentation of my own. After making a few knots I realized this is the same technique that I used to make my bracelets down at the beach. It all made sense now. Now I was ready to to go for it.
I measured out all my yarns. I used twisted cotton twine from Lowes. It took some figuring out measuring and untangling but once it was cut and tied up I was ready to go.
I stared with some simple knots a the top. I wanted to keep it a simple design so not to get too confused throughout the whole process. I had nailed it up to the wall in my hallway to make it easier to tie up.
To finish it off I set it against a burlap fabric. It gave a nice neutral contrast and added to the whole 70s vibe.
The final product was for a portable tiki bar that my dad had just finished making. It needed a cover for the front and this finished it off nicely. This was the first collaboration between me and my dad and the project was a huge success.
Be Bold in your Designs.
peace&love
