Tonia's Macrame: Experimentation can be fun!

Years ago if someone told me that I should try to make money with a hobby that I was good at, I would tell them that I'd rather keep my hobby just as it is so I could enjoy it more. Somewhere along the way I forgot that, and I think this may be the reason why I keep jumping from one craft to another. When I found macramé, I was really excited by the many options I had with projects. This time, I'm not going to think about how much money I can make, but just enjoy the macramé for what it is.

: Name: Tonia's Macrame; Location: Connecticut, United States

I am a mother of beautiful son who will be 21 months on July 10
I am the wife of a wonderful man who accepts me for who I am.
I am a crafter, who believes that life without love or art isn't a life worth living.
I'm a cranky bitch that loves to have opinions on just about everything.
I am me. Just a woman. Just a person. Just someone that wakes in the morning, and sleeps at night.

Experimentation can be fun!

I wanted to make a few more cuffs for myself, but I was running out of ideas. Even though I didn't have any grand plans for this piece, and as you can tell is unfinished, but I do have a few ideas that I can work with now.

I used wire as the base of starting and finishing the bracelet which I really like. I can hang beads off the ends, and even use wire as decorative spacers.

I think the most annoying thing about this project is that now I'm out of string! Yikes... and with no money in the account, all I can do is think out my next idea and try to put it to paper.

Oh well!
Happy 4th of July!!!
