Giant macrame, brown and green macrame wall hanging, extra large wall art.

Details

I like huge macrame artworks! I've named them artwork, because, as for me, they are not a simple wall hangings. They are unique...
The only reason why I didn't make them before- I don't like the materials, which artists are using for them. I mean super heavy cotton rope or super lightweight cotton pipe (it is used for trimming pillows). Both this materials will lose its shape in a while: cotton rope because of its weight and cotton coiling pipe because of its fluffy texture.
For a long time I was looking and testing different materials which allow me to create giant macrame wall art. And finally I found it!
In this wall hanging I've used paper... I've boiled paper with silicone to strengthen it and to add flexibility. Then, I've dyed it to the color I like. And, of course, I've used high quality varnish, like I'm using in my paintings - to protect colors from fading.
Each knot was a challenge to make - even after all this manipulations with paper it remains paper... But since it knotted, it becomes very durable.
Plus, to my opinion, it doesn't look like paper anymore. It reminds me dried tabaco leaves. Something natural and interesting.
I hope you'll like it as well.
Dimensions of this wall hanging:
Colors: different shades of brown + green (acrylic "felted" cord)
And, for its size, it very lightweight - I may hold it with one finger.
Thank you for watching!
