Description This is my last macrame crazyness.
It looks so amorphous, but still is so cute!

In this piece i realized that... i have to learn knotting by the other side. Yes, i only know knotting by the "dot" side, and is a problem, because this piece would look much better knotted by the other side.
People who do macrame would understand what i say (i hope).

Im thinking about adding eyes to my little pet... what do you think?

I always wondered if one could do more with macrame. It's amazing that you figured it out, this is pretty cool!

Surely you're not going to bring a creature into the world blind when it doesn't have to be!....that's cruel!

this is one of the most wonderful macrame animal/birds I've seen! bravo!!!

You and should collaborate on a book of:
basic macrame tutorials
with a set of illustrated animal patterns with a step-by-step for each one say, perhaps eighteen to twenty-five?
including, maybe, a gallery of animal/bird examples from other makers to inspire the readers...

(although I kinda think you have the drive and ability to just do it on your own...)

books are the way to go....
selling piece by piece is not really cost effective in such a labour-intensive craft..
..especially in the current economic climate..
i mean it! get together and do it! you are both making stuff anyway..
just write it down as you go along and take wip pics..
if you need any layout or other advice let me know.. doubt it, but the offer is there...
I'm not going to direct breach to this message btw...

best wishes! Peter...

by the way;
just ignore the "book stuff", above, if you think I'm just interfering or just don't want to get that involved...

Hi Peter!!
By the first, i'll put eyes to my pet hehe i'll glue them

Regarding the idea of a macrame book, sounds so great, and i could practice bcause im studing graphic design and one of my areas is book layout, but right now im not interested at making big proyects, basically because class proyects take me most of the time, and i do macrame while i watch TV, just for relaxing (im not working for saling by now) But this doesn't mean that i can't think about it, maybe along this year i search time to start something like, or i learn new skills at class for doing a better book in a not so far future.
Anyway, thanks for the time you dedicate to me and to look at my work.
See you Peter! Hugs!

re parrot: hehe...

btw:
1: Are you taking part in the swap? send address in note to me asap as we want to match up all the people asap to give everyone as much time as possible for creating object

2: you're gonna like this: I am posting that knot thing for you either in an hour or tomorrow sometime... it's 90% done... plus you can give me some feedback on new tutorial Plan and it's first tutorial posting...(Part 3,C: your knot)

Best wishes Peter.

amorphous? Not to me. It's pretty amazing!

Peter-The-Knotter In reply to balthasarcraft [2012-10-04 23:13:57 +0000 UTC]

I thought "amorphous" the wrong word too...
but:
a: as you know she's spanish... I've given her the occasional tweak in english..
and, more likely:
b: enenauta has very high standards and, although perhaps we both think she's mistaken, I wouldn't be at all surprised if she meant that word precisely because she wants it to be symmetrically 3 dimensional and as realistic as is possible given the size and constraints of the materials used... and feels this example hasn't quite got there yet...

btw: hope all is well in your world!
best wishes!,
Peter.

Well, she is constrained by her medium Really, for something that's a lot of knots, it's very birdlike.

a wolf sounds a little difficult... but the phoenix... you just give me a great idea! i'll try it!

enenauta In reply to CharolneCZ [2012-10-04 21:00:42 +0000 UTC]

Im not sure, because most of the pieces i do are done randomly, and i start them without a particular pattern in mind. I mean, i do it on the fly.
I propose you, i'll do a first attempt, and depending how difficult it becames, i'll try a second and i'll make a tutorial. ^^

Parakeets look like small parrots though? And the artist has already replied agreeing?
