Being on disability I needed to find something to occupy my time. I found a micro-macrame book and found out it is incredible freeing to create items of beauty. This is not the macrame from the 70's that was used for plant hangers, it is a beautifully intricate way of knotting and creating very unique items. I like to use as much natural material as possible; however, there are items that hold up
better with C-lon cord. This is a cord made up of a nylon and Kevlar mix so it has a very high tensile strength and is very comfortable to wear. Aside from that, I use naturally dyed h**p, bamboo and waxed/non-waxed cotton cording. Leather is another medium that I like to work with. I'm a firm believer in the energies that are all around us so I love to use natural stones that come from the Earth. They are naturally imbued with these energies so they make for excellent natural remedies to everyday needs. (I'm not a doctor so I cannot treat, diagnose or even tell you what is wrong with you.I can only give you my opinion on what I've learned.) Even if you don't believe in this energy, the stones are truly aesthetically pleasing so they are for every one.
