Macrame handmade - episodul 2 (second episode)

Materiale folosite in macrame

De la cel mai subtire pana la cel mai gros, orice fir poate fi folosit in macrame. Cu firele subtiri putem crea minunate bijuterii sau dantelarii iar cu cele din ce in ce mai groase, panouri decorative, haine, perdele, snururi samd.

Dupa mine, o conditie esentiala a firelor este aceea de a pastra forma nodului pe care il cream. Nu vrem un fir prea moale sau prea pufos ptr ca asa nu vom mai putea pastra modelul pe care ni-l imaginam si va iesi doar o masa mare de fire prinse intre ele dar fara o forma consistenta.

In afara de fire, in macrame mai folosim: pietre, margele (de toate tipurile si dimensiunile), inele de lemn, metal, plastic, orice alte elemente de decor sau pe care le putem incorpora in creatiile noastre.

Practic, gama de materiale pe care le putem folosi in macrame si in micromacrame este inepuizabila.


Materials used in macrame

From the thinnest to the thickest, any thread can be used in macrame. The thin wires we can create beautiful jewelry and laces and with increasingly thicker, decorative panels, clothes, curtains, cords and so on.

In my opinion, an essential condition of the wires is to keep the shape of  knote that you create. We do not want a too soft or too fluffy yarn because so we will not be able to keep the model that we imagine and will only get a big meal of wires fastened together but without a consistent form.

Besides wire in macrame we also use: stones, beads (of all types and sizes), rings of wood, metal, plastic, or any other decorative elements that we can incorporate into our creations.

Basically, the range of materials that you can use in macrame and micromacrame is inexhaustible.

Martisooor si impletitura mea supercolorata/ Micromacrame work and my supercoloured wall hanging

Ei da, martisorul se apropie cu pasi repezi repezi. Si lucrez si iar lucrez precum Penelopa. Ce o sa vedeti in pozele urmatoare este munca mea de sambata si duminica (zile lumina :)). Insa, ptr mine, e placere pura. Ador sa incerc noi si noi modele, sa inventez, sa experimentez. Nu am cuvinte sa exprim cata bucurie imi aduce lucrul acesta.
Si bonus, pe langa modelele de martisoare si bratari, cea mai colorata lucrare a mea de pana acum :). Trebuie sa spun asta: o ador; iubesc sa lucrez in culori, iubesc handmade-ul colorat, inveseleste orice incapere si cu siguranta voi face din ce in ca mai multe astfel de lucrari foarte colorate. Poate in sfoara din ce in ce mai groasa. Efectul trebuie sa fie absolut spectaculos.

Well, 1-st and 8-th March are rapidly comming. So, I work and work and work like Penelope :). What you will see in below pictures are my handmade works from Saturday and Sunday (full day work). But, for me this is pure pleasure. I love to try new and new models, to innovate, to experiment.
Bonus, besides micromacrames I've made for 1st and 8th March, here, in avanpremiere, my most coloured work till now. And I must say, I love it, I love working with colours, I love coloured handmade, it brings joy to any place, and I will do this kind of hangings more and more. Maybe in much more thick rope. I think the effect must be spectacular.
