Le porte photo est accroché au mur. Il est constitué de 2 morceaux de bois flotté horizontaux rejoint entre eux par du macramé tissé en forme d'arabesque. 3 cordes sont accrochées au macramé de manière horizontale et des photos y sont épinglées grâce à des petites épingles.

Une lune en macramé est accrochée à un mur. La lune est en forme de croissant et en macramé blanc. Un liseré en corde de jute entour le croissant. Au creux du croissant pend une breloque avec plusieurs petites perles de couleur dorée et violette. L'intérieur de la lune est rempli de corde de macramé, comme si on y voyait de la moquette.

Watching GenZ discover new forms of #fiberarts is fun, but it makes me realize how long I've been doing #fiberarts. I learned #crochet #knitting #weaving #sewing #embroidery #needlepoint in the 1960s; #macrame & #dyeing in the 1970s; #spinning in the 1990s. #artistlife #weallstartsomewhere

They're so cute!! #macramakes

Have you listened to our latest episode yet? Tartans are a lovely way to escape from doom. Immerse yourself in plaid. Five yards of plaid, if you like. (Which could technically be a plaid plaid, if belted at the waist).

Yes! I love seeing the diagrams…so much detail! So carefully drawn!

I’ve just been looking through cool old craft books- lots to read and try when I have the energy. library.si.edu/topic/handic...
