I tried macrame’ in the ‘80’s, but instead of starting small, I went for the Big Time. I made a Christmas “tree” that I hung from the ceiling. the bottom was nearly 4’ across, and I made a large ceramic Nativity which I placed inside on cotton batting. The late Igor rigged up a blue light inside of a 3# coffee can which couldn’t be seen from the outside of the tree; the result of the lighting on the Nativity was stuning.

For decorations, I made silver glitter stars and used silk rose buds. It made the front page of the local paper. Somewhere, I have the photos, and if I can find them on my hard drive, I will post them. Of course, a gentle reminder would help, if I go too long...I’m still hyper about finally having my interwebs back!

That sounds beautiful, Face. I hope you’re able to find pictures of it to show everyone.
