We officially did it!

The first Essence of Macrame Workshop hosted by the wonderful ladies Erin and Marissa over at Barefoot Botanics.

I can only speak for myself, but I had an amazing time.

It was so rewarding experiencing the students building a relationship with macrame for the first time.

As a teacher, I learned so much through trial and error and would do 26251416273 things differently next workshop, but that's where the fun starts and the growth can occur. I obviously want to ensure the best possible experience for each student.

At the end of the day, within the time period we had, each student completed their project and went home with a hand crafted piece of Macrame. What more could we ask for?

Special thank you to Barefoot Botanics for believing in me while they opened their hearts and doors, allowing this beautiful experience to happen.

Last year I acquired a breathtaking macrame wall hanger from Essence of Macrame, and I must say, it has surpassed all my expectations! What sets this piece apart is not just its beauty, but the unmistakable touch of love and dedication infused into every knot and weave, courtesy of the talented artisan, Wade William.
I am truly grateful to Wade for pouring his heart and soul into creating such a stunning work of art. This macrame wall hanger has transformed my space, infusing it with a sense of warmth that I never knew was missing. It's not just a decorative piece; it's a symbol of creativity and dedication.
I want to extend a special thanks to Wade for his exceptional talent and for sharing it with the world through Essence of Macrame. Your passion shines through in every thread, and I feel privileged to own one of your creations.

Some mini macrame for you!

Most of my projects are usually quite large and dramatic. It was fulfilling to focus on something a little more simple and less time consuming.

I really enjoy how I was able to create a layer off of the flower pattern.

The variety of patterns flowing from one into another is something I will create more of.

Hope you enjoy.

A simple video of my most recent project.

I will create a step by step video sharing the process with everyone soon.

I don't know where everyone is within their lives at this time but I hope everyone is grounded on some solid ground.

Things were quite rocky over here for a good few months as I briefly stumbled off of my path. Picking up the broken pieces as I transmute them into wisdom.

Keep moving.

I've used 4mm 3ply natural cotton cord for this project.

Sending love and health to you and yours.

Another project to be very proud of.

I really enjoy the pattern I used to build off of the drift wood flowing into my main pattern. Those flowers work so well for me. The depth and dimension they offer is always something I've truly appreciated.

What do you think of the interior decor? It's about time I got my hands on some incredible rattan pieces.

A couple signature plant hangers I knotted up for my brother. Daniel Van Den Berg

I've added more plants to my collection since this photo I promise. Lol
