Knotting and twisting to keep traditions alive.

As a little girl, my extended family lived all over the globe. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins lived across seas and borders. Twice a year we would all get together, in winter to go skiing and in summer to go sailing. During these wonderful family vacations my grandmother and aunts taught us how to use our hands to create. We would cross stitch, knit, sew, crochet and macrame. Tangible memories of the warm feeling that being with family gives you. Throughout my life there's always been some form of fiber art. Remember iPods? I made tons of felt sleeves for those. Cross stitch tree decorations? They make an appearance every Christmas. Unique scraps of fabric? Sewn into make up bags used daily. Boyfriend is cold in winter? Scarves will be knit. And now, like a lot of my millennial generation, I have a big family of house plants. Living in Amsterdam where apartments are cozy (aka tiny), I was running out of surface space for my plant babies. So I bought some rope and looked up a turorial to make a macrame hanger. Muscle memory kicked in and creative juices started flowing. Within a week I made 15 plant hangers in different materials and had so much fun making them! Trying out cord sizes and a variety of cords and rope challenges me to come up with new creations, some with specific plants or spaces in mind, some just free flow. I hope you enjoy these plant hangers, I know I do!
