MACRAMOLIA
Fiber Art and Design
MY JOURNEY
Everyone always asks me why I am so passionate about fiber art and macrame. I had to think about it to really know the answer to that question for myself. "I just am"... I thought. I started this to have a place for my creativity while producing something meaningful and inspiring. My thoughts were not on making this a business or a career, just having a place to decompress and create, while taking myself away from daily burdens and stress and putting my energy into something beautiful, special, and inspiring. My studio is a happy place to this day and I intend to keep it that way. "Find what you enjoy doing, and you will never have to "work" a day in your life"... It was not long before I started receiving custom orders for special occasions and spaces. It is my passion to create art that merges with my client's ideas and vision of the way I perceive their space and their style. I believe that there is positive energy in every knot as each knot is carefully tied by hand. It lights up my world to see my work displayed in your homes and spaces and I thank you all for supporting me in giving my work a space and time to present itself and serve you.
WHY FIBER ART?
For me, the fiber tapestries are connected to my culture, tightly woven into my core. Textiles have an interesting long history. It's something we, humans, decorated our walls with throughout many centuries, from the beginning of times. The styles, content, and materials change, but one common remains – made out of a variety of fiber, silk, cotton, wool, etc.
ACOUSTICS
I love adding fiber art to any home for several reasons. I trust that it has positive energy and it does amazing things for acoustics in a large space or bedrooms where you do not want the echo to travel. I find that my wall hangings are thick and full of knots yet soft to touch.
Aside from their visual beauty, fiber wall hangings also provide acoustic benefits by dampening the sound in a space. Any kind of fabric wall hanging will help absorb sounds, but a woven fiber tapestry also creates a gorgeous visual focal point.
Fiber wall hangings can also make up for other acoustic elements that might be missing in your space. For example, if you have leather furniture, hardwood floors, and solid wood tables, the addition of a tapestry can add a much-needed sound-absorber into the room. Macrame and fiber arts are perfect for large open spaces, or small kids/baby's rooms to help create a soft sound experience.
DECOR AND COMFORT
Each space is unique, fiber wall hangings provide unique textures and shapes that you simply can’t find in art prints or canvas art. Fiber art has been used in homes for centuries, providing a sense of history and style in your home, even if your choice of wall hanging has more of a modern appeal.
Fiber wall hangings can be displayed on walls to provide an attractive bit of additional insulation that helps keep your home warm and cozy.
