The art form is called Macrame. Once it was said that sailors worked on this craft, to while away their time at sea, and then sold it when they landed. It is viewed as a more masculine form of hand weaving, like say knitting. To create this piece one works mainly with knots. I love to work with my hands and with different materials. This is done with common hemp, and decorated with wooden beeds. I had a whole lot of help from Handcrafted by Elaine. She has instructions and designs for any one who is interested.
