Combine the art of macramé with the practice of mindfulness in this stunning gift book.
Each of the 17 projects contains breathing exercises, questions to reflect on and guided journal prompts so that you can center yourself while crafting something beautiful.
Written by acclaimed macramé artist Isabella Strambio, this book offers a unique combination of practical and personal, inviting you to embrace a mindful and meditative experience through knotting. Each knot tied is a chance to slow down and experience the satisfaction of making something beautiful with your hands while nourishing your soul in the process.
Choose from quick 30-minute creations (jewelry, belts, keyrings), those that take less than an hour (coasters, placemats, plant hangers) to more intricate designs that invite a few hours of you-time (wall hangings, baskets).
Each one is customizable in color and size, offering opportunities to decorate your home with meaningful pieces or make thoughtful gifts.
Included :
17 simple-but-stunning beginner-friendly projects including wall hangings, jewelry, plant hangers, placemats, coasters and keyrings, ordered by the time needed
Breathing exercises and guided journal pages with space to note down your thoughts and reflections for every project
Easy-to-follow step-by-step photography for all the knots, patterns and projects
Whether you’re dipping your toes into the waters of mindfulness and crafting for the first time or seeking fresh inspiration and support, this beautifully illustrated gift book welcomes you with open arms.
Isabella Strambio is a self-taught macramé and natural dye artist. She is half Italian and half Japanese and she grew up by the sea in Italy. At 18, she moved to the UK to learn English and study Interior Design.
Isabella has always been attracted to design, hand-made products, natural materials and textures, and her passions are reflected in her work. She is also a big advocate of using recycled materials for her macramé work and food scraps for her natural dyeing. She started her blog www.twome.co.uk, to document her personal journey to learn 12 new crafts in 12 months. In 2017, she took the leap and quit her career as an Interior Designer to work full-time on her small creative business.
She has been featured in the Sunday Telegraph, the UK TV series Kirstie's Handmade Christmas and regularly writes macramé tutorials for magazines like Mollie Makes, In the Moment, Hobbycraft and Origin. In 2019, her Natural Dyed Japanese Apron was one of the finalists for the Etsy Design Award. She runs workshops, events and teambuilding classes in London and across the UK. She also teaches macramé and natural dyeing online for people that cannot attend her workshops.
