Macrame often leads you to start something you don’t know where it will take you.

I like this journey.

Here, for example, I began by making colored and convoluted elements that didn’t blossom into anything really concrete.

Then one day while reading an article on Chinese knots, I discovered the Pang Chang Buddhist Knot which symbolizes the cycle of life, with no beginning or end.

I liked the concept and from the macrame element of the Pang Chang Knot this necklace was born.

Sharing my passion for macrame with a friend, we ended up talking about the traditional and colorful jewels of the Maasai women.

So I too wanted to try and make a very colorful necklace.

Here it is!

I first made a sample to get the size and shape of triangles at hand. Then I drew a pattern on a piece of paper which I followed, pinning all the threads.

Big enterprise … it took me two weeks to finish.

But how big is the joy I feel at showing it here to you?
