Macre-May season is here!

Macre-May is an art challenge I'm giving myself for the month of May where I post every other day about macrame knots and patterns, with drawings and photos of examples or past projects.

I have three themes for three years in mind:

Basics and intro to 3D projects

Funky designs and playing with color

Challenge designs

Keep in mind that this is more an art challenge where I get to share a hobby of mine and less professional instructions; there's plenty of places online that will tell you how to start and finish a particular project along with cord type and length. What I want to do is give options and inspiration so you can mix and match your own projects.

I tend to make jewelry because I like the long skinny repetitive format, but I also like to use macrame to build 3D objects. So I'm giving myself this art challenge to push me to try out new methods I haven't tried out before but also so I can post instructions for complicated projects and hopefully people can follow the diagram in my art style.

If my instructions are a little too vague or confusing, free-macrame-patterns.com and youtube tutorials are nice places to look up knots and projects, from people who probably have a better camera than I do lol.

Also if anyone makes anything following my instructions, please tag me!!! I would love to see them! <3

#Macre-May #macrame #art challenge #it's Macre-May because Macra-May looks weird #I do have a new camera but pics can still come out a bit grainy #but whatever #I'm doing this for fun

This year's been fantastic and I got to draw so many lil guysopods and make many isopuns<333 Choosing an inktober list based off a specific creature also gave this year such spice!

Thank you @jazz-dude for the superb prompt list! It hit the creativity just right.

And thank you everyone for such a great season I love yas! I cherish all the comments and notes. I look forward to next year's inktober!
