Macramé - The Color Is Green
Add some natural beauty while being eco-friendly. Consider macramé plant hangers and wall hangings to complement your home.
Macramé is an environmentally compatible craft. No electricity, chemicals or any severe products are required. Now, many people are becoming increasingly interested in buying natural, safe products. If you are a plant lover who is interested in different options to show off your plants, macramé is absolutely a step in that direction and always has been. Macramenia has a variety of hangers for all kinds of plants and pot sizes.
The process of macramé is also good for the crafter. While doing macramé, my hand, arm, and shoulder muscles are strengthened. Just as my upper body is strong from the macramé workout, my plant hangers are also strong and stand up to the test of time. I pay close care to my "wraps" at the start of my project and at the bottom of the hangers where the precious potted plant will be placed. These wraps give the hanger its strength. I kept a magnificent plant hanger that I crafted in the 1980s that still looks fabulous and holds a big plant without a problem.
When you buy a plant hanger or wall owl hanging, you are obtaining a sturdy, well-crafted, handmade product that is also safe for the environment. As stated, the craft requires no electricity, unless the macramé is done in the evening. Personally, I like to macramé with the natural light of the day. I recently went through a five-day electricity outage on the North Coast of California. This electricity outage did not keep me from the art of macramé, which I thoroughly love.
As I have stated in other pieces, I believe that macramé is returning to popularity. Its simple, beautiful way to show off plants and "back to basics" crafting style are two of the reasons, along with its attractive, natural good looks. There are many styles and sizes for nearly every need. At Macramenia, we have used glass beads in some smaller hangers for a more evolved look that can match the pot that holds the plant, the flowers of a plant, or even a stained glass sun catcher. Don't forget to be checking my site for the 2008 announcement of my stained glass site. I will have sun catchers to match some of my plant hangers!
Add some natural beauty while being eco-friendly, and consider macramé plant hangers and wall hangings to accent your residence.
