Woven Wall Hangings

Hi Joanna!!!

Here in Mexico we have “ojo de dios”, they are colorful and in all kinds of shapes :) I have a couple of them at home, I bought them from a market here and I love them, check them out!

i have one and love it! it was my christmas gift from my husband (that i bought, and wrapped, and wrote the note). ha!

hi joanna! check out new friends: http://www.new-friends.us/ they make beautiful weavings, pillows, all kinds of beautiful things.

So crazy! I just bought one of these after noticing them being popular in design posts lately (and cause they are cool). Blowing up my spot cup of jo!

I really don’t like these.. another thing to dust!!

got to be honest – I don’t think these are cute at all! they’re a ’70s trend that doesn’t need to come back…

There are some really gorgeous, artistic wall hangings on Etsy. I have several on my Favorites list.

I don’t really like the look of woven wall hangings like these, it’s very dated I think, but would go well with a more vintage-y decor. I really love the modern wall hangings with prints or quotes though!

and not just woven ones…the macrame tied ones too…like the one on the wall in the first shot.

These look pretty in the pictures. But, I’m pretty sure I did a sixth grade art project to make these.

I have to say I agree with Christina. They just look like dust collectors to me. To each their own, but they look too hard to clean for my taste.

I came home from work last week and found my five year old daughter weaving :) It cracks me up that everything in my grandparents’ home is now popular again.

I love these! My friend made a macraméd cotton and copper headboard using this technique. Here’s a link to his photo of the piece: http://instagram.com/p/utACtuKiK0/

Target has an amazing one by Nate Berkus. It’s beautiful in my living room.

Whoa. Timely post. I have been really into these (from afar) as I’ve been seeing them everywhere. I like how they are sculptural. So far, don’t own one though but I am budgeting for it!

Hi Joanna and Caroline, I LOVE your blog and have been a follower for years now. I read a post on Swiss Miss today about creative emails and immediately thought of you when I came across this e-comic illustrated by a woman in portland http://us5.campaign-archive2.com/?u=59e3463e739ab94c42b7354cf&id=c1b10f314a

So funny!!! Just thought I would share.

I make them too. I have a macrame one above my bed.

i feel like they are dust-magnets….not for me.

I totally love wall hangings. They remind me of my mom, who used to macrame them and sell them at craft shows in the ’70s. By the time I came along in the late 80s, we only had one in our outdoorsy screened-in porch.

It’s interesting that the comments are very divided between people who seem to LOVE them and people who hate them. I have a theory that if you lived through a trend the first time, you’re not as keen to jump on board the second time around. Since macrame wall hangings were before my time, I think of them as romantic and vintage and fabulous!

Whenever I read something like this, the bohemian rhapsody springs to mind: “no, no, no, no/ mamma mia/ mamma mia/ mamma mia let me go!”

This phenomenon is really interesting – it’s called perceptual vigilance. Once something is brought to your attention you can’t help but notice it again and again!

That phenomenon is baader meinhof !!! Hehe!

Loove this <3

Goodness no. I grew up in the 60s/70s. I had enough of them then. Maybe a gorgeous quilt. Sure.

Check out @maryannemoodie on insta. She creates amazing weavings (and she does classes in NY!)

I love wall hangings, is a trend worth to give up a look, interesting also to try and do it. Ive been thinking to built a loom and start to create Beautiful scenerys.
Best wishes from Peru.

Gosh.. Im making one of these too. I also made ceramic beads (white clay with seaside coloured underglaze) for it. Theres a cool knot app I use to learn all the tricks. Its very meditative and relaxing once you get into it
