PVC Macrame Top

Experimenting with Macrame on the mannequin using PVC strips.

Close up detail of the structures and knots created by the PVC.

I really enjoyed working with the PVC, I love the transparency,the feel and the way the PVC draped. After doing this piece it inspired me to look into other plastics that I could use in my work, which has led me to the material that I am currently working with, black bin bags.

Learning Macrame!

The images above are two of my very first samples of Macrame. I have only begun to learn and develop this technique and am really enjoying the different textures and patterns it can create. The sample on the left is using clear fishing wire and and a thin metalic red wire yarn together, and the sample on the right is using a paper yarn. The two samples create different patterns and this showed me that depending on the yarn you can create different effects, and this made me want to develop and experiment with more materials.

Knitting Wire

This is an image of a piece of my hand knitted wire, I love the way the light reflected off it when i took the photo. I am planning on using this image as inspiration for my colour board for my new projects this semester.
