It all Started with a Large Ball of Twine.

And then Some Gray Yarn.

And Once the Sticks Got Involved…History Was Made.

I have a big wall that needed decor, so I set to making a big piece.

I knew macrame was going to be part of it, but not exactly sure how.

I attached the twine and yarn and let it all sink in.

Then I went for it, but I got stuck on what to do after the first row of Macrame.

It sat like this for quite a while, but the rolled up yarn and twine at the bottom did give me an idea.  But before I could work on that part, I had to finish the other parts.

So I continued to make these large macrame knots and my sister described the look as “Lace”.

I kept going with the big square knots and the “lacey” look.  When I finished I added something a bit different.

If You Have Seen Any of my Other Posts, You May Know I Like using Od Leather Belts in some of my Projects.

DON’T MAKE ME TAKE MY BELT OFF!

And

BELT CHAIR

Well, I have Not Stopped.  Actually, I have bumped it up some.

We moved from a house in rural Georgia to a tiny apartment in the Loop in Downtown Chicago.                                 I could not bring many craft or art supplies.  I grabbed what I could, and that was belts.

You can Take me Away from All my Supplies, but You can’t Take Crafting Away from Me!

We Moved into said Tiny Apartment with No Art or Decor on the Walls.

I Needed something More Flowing and Organic-like to hide the spread out holes in the Wall.

I Put my Mind to the Test and This is what My Mind Did…
