I designed and created these dragonfly wall hangings in the summer of 2018. I was having a rough day and saw the dragonflies fluttering around outside my bedroom window. I was so inspired by them that I got off my bed, dressed up, and started working on making a macrame dragonfly with the new faded indigo cord I'd just bought from @niromastudio . I wrote at length about the entire inspiration and process of creation on my website. I never intended to sell them, but now feel it's time to release them into the wild (haha). They are now listed for sale in my Etsy shop. Visit the link in my bio. Thank you all for your love for these dragonflies. I'm so happy that so many of you have enjoyed my creations. Macrame has been a very healing therapy for me, and my hope is that my creations offer healing to others as well. 💖❤💛💚💜💙💖 #macrame #macramedragonfly #gracienoon #dragonfly #dragonflywallhanging #dragonflymacrame #dragonflywallart #dragonflyart #tealdragonfly #bluedragonfly #greendragonfly #entymologyart #fiberart #fiberartist #arttherapy #macrametherapy #niromastudio #makersgonnamake
Alriiiighty folks! Just spent way too much time taking tons of pictures in the kids' room (best lighting) with the entire family. It wasn't as chaotic as it could have been, thankfully. My husband and I definitely need to learn some better photography skills haha. My face needs help (I know how to pose in front of mirror but I feel lost staring at a camera). Trying to figure out how to arrange things on the wall INCLUDING me is a special artform. Anyway, got most of the pictures taken which means NEW STUFF COMING SOON. And the dragonflies should be listed in the shop by tomorrow... so excited to finally get this done!!!! Lots of new items hitting the shop next week :) Yay!!! #gracienoon #macrame #dragonfly
Cutting the ends... always a tricky, tricky business. When doing a horizontal cut, I can't tolerate it being completely straight. I stagger the ends a bit. It may look like it "woke up like this" but I strategically cut every single string. This piece here is testing my patience but I am winning, so there.
Gracie Noon macrame spotted in the wild... hahahaha. I made this piece for my sister in law last year. They moved back to the area and now I get to see it all the time! #gracienoon #macrame
It's been a while since I shared a pic of a finished piece. I was going over my shop and realized I needed to update the listing for this piece. I'm still learning how to optimize my Etsy listings for improved traffic... coming up with titles and tags is such hard work and I don't enjoy it at all. BUT that's part of generating traffic and sales. I wasn't sure I liked this piece after making it last year, so I had a low price on it. But I just decided to increase the price because I feel it deserves it. I am definitely in love with the top half of the piece. I'm not really loving the bottom half (it used to be cut straight across... the diagnal cut looks better in my opinion), but that doesn't mean somebody else won't completely love it. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. I'm not going to tell people what they should or shouldn't like, especially when it comes to my own art. This macraweave was one of the first pieces I made after the birth of my last child. I still remember working on it a year ago in our bedroom as we all watched The Incredibles 2. :) * * * #modernmacrame #modernabstract #abstractmacrame #abstract #abstractfiberart #bluemacrame #bluewallhanging #macraweave #bluemacraweave #abstractblue #fadedindigo #niromastudio #bluewallart #abstractwallart #cottonandwool #macrameandplants #prayerplant #moderndecor #modernart #modernfiberart #bohostyle
Here's what I'm feeling will happen: I'll do a big shop update at the end of the month. I have several finished pieces (including the Dragonflies!) to list for sale, including several almost-finished pieces. I have been unable to get to the photography, which for most of my work, is the biggest hangup for getting them listed. I need my husband's help for that and I figure I may as well finish more pieces and then do a huge photoshoot with him, get it all done at once. I'm also going to rig up a light box and FINALLY get good shots of my earrings and get those listed. Oh, I'm also working on writing up the stories for several of these pieces on my blog. Yikes! There are so many details. But some extra fun news... I'll also be running a sale on some items once I update my shop :) Sooooo, like I said... probably the end of the month my shop will be full of new things and a sale on old things. That's the plan anyway!
A question for all you makers/artists out there: what on earth do you DO with all your projects and pieces that may or may not be finished but just aren't your best work??? Do you try to sell them anyway? If they don't sell, do you throw them out or burn them or WHAT? Do you hide them in storage forever and ever and ever? I am growing a collection of "meh" pieces and I don't want to sell them alongside my good stuff because I can't ask good prices and I just don't want to cheapen the rest of my work by letting the lesser pieces share space with the good ones. Ya know??? I just have too many "meh" pieces now taking up space in my house and my brain. Help!!! Anyway, this is a progress pic of the back of my latest wall hanging. I love seeing the backside of pieces, all messy and crazy. #makersgonnamake
Work in progress 😊 Playing with all my new colors from @niromastudio #fiberartist #niromastudio
