I have had, loads of fun completing this project, time consuming but the repetitive nature of knotting is very soothing, I highly recommend it!
There's a fine line between 70's kitsch and contemporary macrame cool, I hope I have created the latter?
I think the spray painted neon yellow shade frame helps this?
Next task is to tackle, is the Owl. Inspired by the pic below, a thrift find from Savers, those eyes, get me every time!
Thanks for looking xx

I am SO impressed. You did a beautiful job. I never learned to macrame back in the day, but maybe I'll make a stab at it now.
ReplyDeleteI love it Pippa. Definetely contemporary, with just enough 70's kitsch thrown in to make it cool. I admire your patience. I found a family of 70's macrame owls on the side of the road once (council clean-up) I gave most of them away, kept a few but they're yet to be hung.
ReplyDeleteOh Kylie hang them, then post pics for us all to see, thanks for stopping by, nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteDana, a bit of macramé would look great in your shop I'm sure! Thanks again for your lovely feedback!!
I think it looks great. You must be incredibly patient. It must produce the most incredible pattern when it is lit. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely! You have done a beautiful job. Can't wait to see the owl upon completion. I am partial to abit of owl macrame!! xx
