This is the second of two macrame wall hangings I made this week. I found this project in an old macrame book by Lynne Tucker. This is an oldie but you can still find it for sale on eBay and other used-book sites out there. I found it at a thrift store.
I used 3mm jute, some of which I dyed purple with the Jane Davenport inks that I described in my previous post. The 2mm green jute I bought from the garden center at Walmart. I made most of the beads you see, including the eyes, from polymer clay, as in the wall hanging in my last post. I also added a few green vintage glass beads to the green cords on the tail. As with the other macrame piece, I used sticks that I found outside after heating them in a 200 degree oven for about 30 minutes.
The V-shaped piece making up the top of the head is coated 16 gauge garden wire that I braided together to make it thicker and less bendable so to hold its shape. My progress photos are in order. I had fun making this and feel it was a success!
