Green Macrame
The craft of macrame is environmentally compatible. It requires no electricity, chemicals or any harsh products. A lot of people now days are becoming increasingly concerned about purchasing natural, safe products. Macrame is absolutely a step in that direction and always has been, especially if you are a plant lover who is looking for various options to display your plants. Macramenia has numerous hangers for many plants and pot sizes.
The making of macrame is also beneficial for the artist. As I macrame, my hand, arm, and shoulder muscles are strengthened. Just as my upper body is strong from the macrame crafting, my plant hangers are also durable and stand up to the test of time. I give special attention to my "wraps" at the start of my project and at the bottom of the hangers where the precious potted plant will be set. These wraps provide the hanger with its strength. I kept a large plant hanger that I crafted in the 1980s that still looks great and holds a large plant with no problem.
When you select a plant hanger or wall owl hanging, you are obtaining a sturdy, well-crafted, natural product that is also safe for the environment. As mentioned, the craft requires no electricity, unless the macrame is done at night. Personally, I prefer to macrame with the natural light of the day. I recently endured a five-day electricity outage on the North Coast of California. This electricity outage did not stop me from the art of macrame, which I thoroughly enjoy.
As I have mentioned in other articles, I see that macrame is returning to popularity. Its simple, beautiful way to display plants and "back to basics" crafting style are some of the reasons, along with its attractive, natural good looks. There are many styles and sizes for practically every taste. At Macramenia, we have used glass beads in some petite hangers for a more evolved look that can match the pot that holds the plant, the blossoms of a plant, or even a stained glass sun catcher. Don't forget to be checking my site for the 2008 opening of my stained glass site. I will have sun catchers to match some of my plant hangers!
Consider macrame plant hangers and wall hangings to accent your abode. Add some natural charm while being eco-friendly at the same time.
