I have always been passionate about learning new things! Instagram has inspired me to pick up yet another new hobby. Macrame! This one in particular due to it's flexibility. I wanted to find new creative ideas to integrate into my weaving work.
For me the creative learning process has always involved plenty of research. I spent a good deal of time on Pinterest, checking out what other artists are up to (man, the talent out there!!! It's enough to scare a girl away from trying, but I decided not to back down from gaining some new knowledge). I also found plenty of inspiration on Instagram. Artist from all over the globe creating beautiful work. I am particularly enjoying chatting with them about their process and material selections. I ordered some new materials I'm eagerly awaiting for the arrival (Etsy is amazing!). In the meantime I hit up the local store and I have been experimenting with some "standard" materials. I took lots of process photos this time around. I'm excited to share the start to finish of my very first piece I've created. And I can't wait to show what's coming up next (it's currently drying on my desk). A very spooky Halloween inspired work.
My last little note here. I had to of course create my first plant hanger as well! And you guys! It's a hit!!! I'm so happy with how well it's gone over and so appreciative of how much everyone likes it. I can't wait to create some more! I have a few orders I'll be creating next (a fall piece for my mom, a little girls room with lilac and sky blue, another plant hanger and then I'll get some more plant hangers rolling for my Etsy!). I'm also hoping to get some help with creating a logo since I seem to be totally lost as to how to do this (it's hard to admit sometimes when we aren't able to create as artists isn't it?
Without further ado! LOTS OF PICTURES! :)
