Abstraction
History of Macrame̍
The history of macramé can be traced to
the early 14th and 15th centuries when this
craft was practiced in France and Italy. The
patterned knotted fabrics created out of
macramé craft where used in churches for
vestments and altar clothes in early days. This
craft then became popular among the British
during the 19th century. Legend says that
North American sailors spent long hour’s
abroad ships practicing macramé square
knots and hitch knots.
The word macramé describes any
elaborate fringe of knotted thread or cord,
but the Arabic word Migrama, from which
macramé is derived, originally meant “stipped
towel” or “embroidered veil.” The craft is
supposed to have been brought from the
Middle East to Spain by the Moors. It then
spread through Europe and was introduced
to England from Holland by Queen Marry,
wife of William of orange, in the late 17th
century.

History of Basketry
Basketry or basket making is one of the
oldest crafts. Prehistoric humans used limbs,
leave and vines woven together to carry their
supplies. From these basic beginnings,
different cultures have urbanized literally
hundreds of style of baskets. In many cases
the style of basket depends on the availability
of resources and plant suitable for basket
construction. In early, times basket where a
necessity. This was before metal and plastic
containers. They were used to carry and store
various materials. Today, baskets are used for
the same purposes, but also to decorate at
home, to hold flowers for weddings and
hospital visits, to store personal items, and to
make arrangement for holiday festivities.
Since materials for basketry are as close as
the nearest palm tree, cane stalks, or rush, it
development was universal. Early weaver
sometimes lined their basket with clay, to
make them watertight; from these beginnings
pottery has developed.
