Basic Macramé from Beginner to Elementary: Dedicated to anyone who has ever stumbled into macramé Learn to make all your creations with just 4 ... Mason way
Macrame of the Macra Mason's Way - Volume 1 of the Macrame Series!
The English translation of the popular how-to book that once won the #1 handicraft line in Japan is finally out!
Translated by Marina.
A guide to macramé from beginner to elementary level.
I have been making macramé seriously for about eight years and have made over 700 commissions.
Because I learned macramé by taking apart macramé I bought at a Mexican market, without anyone teaching me macramé, I realised that the Japanese way of teaching macramé is too complicated and because of this way of teaching, few people in Japan are able to reach the decorative level of macramé.
With only four different knitting techniques you can reproduce all the macramé in the world!
Even if you've failed before, you can still get better!
From beginner to elementary, we start with the four basic knitting techniques and explain how to wrap natural stones in a simple way.
In addition to the basic knotting techniques, there are a total of ten other knotting techniques shown in the photograph on the front cover of the book.
Once you can 'See the Structure' you will be able to make all the macramé in the world just by looking at the pictures.
To help you 'See the Structure', this and the next 'Intermediate' series will carefully explain the order of the work, the work to be made and how to think about macramé.
I think that once you have made a number of designs in this and the next series, you will be able to 'see the structure' to some extent.
In mathematics, if you can only solve problems from textbooks, it is the same as not getting good marks in exams.
In other words, in both study and macramé, the way you are taught, the order in which you are taught, and the way you approach the work (problem) are important, and this is what I have focused on in writing this and my next work.
I think I could write these books because I have not been taught macramé by anyone and I have questioned the way macramé is taught.
If you have ever stumbled in macramé, or if you cannot think for yourself and create your own work, it is not because you are not good at macramé, but because the way macramé has been taught in Japan up to now is wrong!
Don't worry.
When you read this book you will think "Wow! Macrame is easy!
