A passion for design, color, and meticulous knotting
I am Shāna – artisana, fiber jewelry artist, traveler– with a passion for details, nature-based color palletes, and slow craft. I create my pieces with a technique called Micro-Macramé, which is a South American fiber art of intricate knotting. I am mostly self-taught, but I learned the foundations of this fine art craft from other traveling artisans while living in South America over the course of 13 years. I fell in love with the slow and rhythmical process, and the meditative space that emerges through quiet, repetitive knot tying.
Although dimensional, my pieces contain no internal wire nor glue. They are made of pure fiber. I use a 1mm Brazilian waxed thread and I slowly tie each knot by hand– building the design knot by knot. I source all my semi-precious gemstones in person from lapidary aritsts in Perú, Ecuador, Mexico, and Argentina.
