Greetings dear community, I am very happy to be able to share with you my first participation of the year in the Splinterlands Art Contest, on this occasion I made a wall hanging with the macramé technique of the character Elven Cutthroat, who lives in the forests of Splinterlands, They live in trees and come down frequently, they are skilled in the use of knives and have a wide variety of them. I hope you like it.
Proceso / Process
To begin the process, the first thing is to cut out the image of the character in a rectangular shape, in this way I make the pattern and select the colors of thread to use, I use 1mm acrylic thread, in this case I used 6 shades of yellow, 2 shades of beige, 3 shades of green, 2 shades of gray, 2 shades of blue, 2 shades of brown, pink, red, white and black, in total 21 threads of different colors.
I cut 18 strands of 48 cm of pink thread, tied them to a plastic stick, this way there are 36 guide threads, I attached the stick to the board with some clothespins.
I added the pink thread for the background knots, in this technique you work in rows of knots, that is, the knotting thread wraps around the guide threads twice, the colored threads are added and they cross behind.
As you can see, the image is built with the knots, as if each knot were a pixel of the image. In total this work has 80 rows of 36 knots.
To finish, I grouped the 36 guide threads into 4 parts and tied a knot with a blue thread. Cut the excess thread to form fringes. With 6 strands of 24 cm of pink thread I made a braid to tie the stick and make the wall hanging.
Resultado / Result
I really liked making this character due to its complexity and amount of colors in different tones, for me it was a personal challenge and I am satisfied, it took me 4 whole afternoons to do it so I hope you like it 🥰
