Day 16 of Make Madness – Weaving

When I was in 5th grade there were two teachers who made a huge macrame piece of art for the entrance to our school.  I still remember that piece to this day.  I was intrigued by it’s size, but also its beauty.  One of those two teachers was a friend of my husband’s family, but I wasn’t to know that until Mike and I were engaged 8 years later.  Talk about a small world.

I know that the word ‘macrame’ screams 1970’s, but the art of macrame and weaving is making a come back in the artist community.  I’ve always been interested in a variety of fiber arts and weaving is no exception.  I found this tutorial for beginners and decided to give it a try.

Come back tonight to see how I did.

Until this evening,
