Macramee is another very lovely string art, invented by sailors as history tells. There are just a few basic knots with loads of variations. I find that for wire work the square knot works the best. It is also one of the simpler ones, once learned never forgotten.So here I show you a bracelet done in square knot with copper wire, 20g for the core and 24g for the knotting.
You should try it, it's fun!
I have been working up the courage for ages to try some macramee knots with wire, this looks fab in wire. The main one I would love to try is the Josephine knot but it will just have to wait for a while.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe you do this with wire??! and that your hands still work!!
ReplyDeleteYes, lilacs are filled with memories - I never tried sucking out the nectar though! Thanks for the tip, I'm off to try it!
Oh my gosh, I love it! How do you come up with these extremely creative and unique methods!?
