Greetings! My name is Zan. I have been weaving macrame jewelry since 2008. It all started with a highschool art class where my teacher taught us to macrame weave a very simple bracelet pattern- The Candy Stripe, a piece that I still own today! I really took to it, and it ended up being perfect for me as I have an allergy to metals and I wanted to wear jewelry too! It's been awhile (I am now in my 30s) and I have learned quite a bit! This website is an archive of the macrame pieces that I've made (and recorded. I'm sure I've made more than what is showcased here and just didn't take photos!).
The patterns and styles I use range from my own creations using the principles of macrame to free public patterns that can be found on sites like friendship-bracelets.net. I really enjoy experimenting and breaking the rules to make interesting and exciting pieces, as well as sharing those with the world!
Please enjoy this showcase of my work and experiments with the medium! I don't own an official shop or a business, but I often sell or give away pieces at my own discretion. If any of these pieces strike your fancy, or you have an interesting idea that you think I should make, you can contact me directly to purchase or commission a piece! Thank you for your visit!
