Here are two more completed pieces that I just gave Grandma's Macrame treatment to.

This one is called "Tiki Tunga." I did one similar to this but sold it beforeI got a pic of it. So I went ahead and recreated it in blue and added a bamboo hanger with beads. Once again I am using acrylllic and paint pens and using rope for a border.

This one was a fun and interesting one to put together.

For "Ocean Glyphs" I got busy with jesso and unraveled twine to get a very interesting texture. and covered it all with acryllic paint. I used oil based paint pens over acryllic paint to get the shapes of the sea creature glyphs. Once again used rope for a border and bamboo and jute with Grandma Chongolio's macrame technique to make the hanger.

Both of these will be at the Forbidden Island Sale-a-bration and up for grabs.

Little Lost Tiki- Many thanks for helping me get the sharpie over acryllic fiasco straight. I am going to try a "Blooping" free attempt on another acryllic background tonight and work on a little something for my new little buddy Andy Landry.

As always, thanky thanky for the peeps and props.
