Mini macrame. Jewellery?








Ever since I learnt macrame a few months ago, i just love doing it. However, i still can't help but think how tacky it looks when i see a macrame belt or dress in a shop. I like the idea of trying to turn macrame into something more special, a bit more sophisticated.
I'd been working with the theme of people, and how work can interact with people and be created to fill a void or need. I decided for the macrame i would create something quite tactile, as i generally make things on a large scale and i like to push myself within my work.
I used very organic colours to try and blend the pieces into the skin yet still stand out.
I try to make my work as sustainable as possible and therefore used PDF tape found in my dads shed and a ball of string i also found.
