"Tibetan Swings" Macramé Linen Bag by Cláudia Almeida

"Tibetan Swings" Macramé Linen Bag

Artist Cláudia Almeida has long been looking for a traditional bag to which she could apply a Macramé piece to. In her eyes, it's a wonderful way of carrying with us a little bit of art.

For this piece she designed first her macramé wallhangings. The she applied them to the bag by sewing it by hand. This bag has a zipper, so you can carry everything around and it doesn’t fall down when you hit the breaks of you car.

At the age of 5, artist and artisan Cláudia embroidered her first cloth with cross stitch. She used to make gifts for family members, for instance a napkin holder out of ice cream sticks she picked up on the beach. She used pieces of wood where she glued whelks and shells.

Cláudia has always been surrounded by handicraft material. Her mother, a primary school teacher, used to go to an art studio and do a little of everything. Their marquee used to be their atelier.
