  • Taking a break

    We are taking a 2 or 3 week break from staying home and for me, macrame. Two months ago we booked our hotel stay in New York City for New Year’s Eve. We are driving cross country and thrifting our way across Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma for starters 😊

  • Am I tired of square knots yet?

    I have finished knotting 11 plant pods to date. Six are available in our booth and online, I have 5 to detail, 2 patterns to begin and I’ve cut 4 more pod patterns. All completed pods and every pattern cut to date are for plant pods using just square knots. You may ask, “Aren’t you […]

  • Sustainability as an artist

    I cannot stress the importance of sustainability as an artist. Art is not without creating waste. It is easy to say not to create to avoid waste creation but for many, art isn’t just about aesthetics. Art is my free source of therapy. A quiet, often solitary activity to express a myriad of emotions. The […]

  • December 10, 2021

    I’m familiar with macrame. The kind I knew was made of the itchy, dirt colored fiber of the 70s in the form of a plant hanger. This snuffaluffagus was wiry, rough and unpalatable but functional. It was not a sensual, tactile experience running my fingers through its tassel fringe but rather something I did as […]
