AAAAA+++++"
This HISTORIC item contains approximately
85 photos and line drawings of wonderous macramé lace patterns with clear
instructions, designs and fundamentals for creating delicately beautiful, dainty
lace or substandial and ornate accessories and household soft
furnishings!
An
excerpt:
"Macrame does not need any introduction as new work, but it
does need introduction to new people. It is about twenty-five years since the
last revival of this most fascinating handiwork. If search is made for the
origin of Macrame, its claims of great antiquity can be substantiated. The name, as we
have it, is of Arabic origin, and the work in the heavier
grades has been used, lavishly, to decorate and finish the edges of trappings, tents,
etc. The Italians first adapted its use to finer threads, the making of laces and
fine fringes.
"
Uses of Macramé
Many useful articles
can be made in Macramé work, such as table and mantel borders, brackets, fringes
for household linen and towels, nightdress cases, handkerchief sachets, wall
pockets, tidies, work-bags, shopping-baskets, cosies, insertions for
antimacassars, and fringes for dress-trimmings.
Now I am certain the creative fiber and thread artists out
there can visualize and conceive many, many creative uses for this art in our
modern-day world way beyond the cultural confines of those when this item was
created. I could see this art being useful with curtain and clothing
embellishments, wall hangings, bed and bath linens, table covers and runners,
baby items and gifts galore for the quickly upcoming holiday season!
I guess I am a product of the times as I never thought of
macramé beyond the plant and wall hangings of the 70's which were made with
stout cords, heavy twines and wooden beads. Now this antique information has
changed my perspective in that the items made are constructed of our equivalent
of fine to coarse crochet weight types of threads but of linen, not cotton. I
imagine when I begin to play with this I will use some of my size G and up
vintage and antique silk threads. I might even get to the point where I will
experiment with antique glass seed beads in the project just because I could…
:^) There is a great deal more latitude with this fiber art then I ever
imagined!
