Macrame - When A Knot's Not Just A Knot

Oh my, when I saw the macrame icons constructed by Russian artist Vladimir Denshchikov I drooled. Go do a google search for more of his work. 

Well darlings 'macrame' has certainly come a long way from the pot plant holders and owl hangings of the 70s hasn't it! I did a search on etsy.com and was amazed to have thousands of items come up. Lots of jewellery of course but many other items I didn't expect. Aren't they lovely? They've inspired me to, well, go get knotted!

ps. I'll spare you all the reasons why I haven't posted for so long. Life as a human being just gets in the way. But for right here, right now, everything is perfect.

Hadn't thought of macrame for a long time. Thought it didn't exist any more. I love seeing how beautiful it can be. The sandals are my favorite.

I know what you mean about life as a human. I haven't blogged in months either. Oh life, what a ride.
Take care.

Chrisy! I hope the reasons are behind you. It's good to know you are back. Yes yes life gets complicated

My mother made me plant hangers. I didn't like them but I never told her :-)

Love
