Fashioning as many as 32 strings,each
as much as 12 to 14 yardslong, into
functional and beautiful macrame, hanger
is no small feat.
Karen Whitmore, who .lives west of
Seaforth, has been: creating macrame
articles for gifts and orders for the last four
years. She can alter the size, shape and
colour to suit the customer..
Karen learned her craft attending the
Adult. Rehabilitation Centre (ARC) in:
Dashwood. Because she has ;perception
problem that makes reading, instructions
difficult. Karen has learned; to follow a
picture or a completed product for
directions,
Depending on the size and complexity of'.
the article, it may take :half a day to three
days to complete: Karen purchases her
materials in Seaforth and Hensail, and gets
ceramic planters and beads from ARC. She
has also been using wicker baskets as
hangers; they are attractive and lighter
than the heavy clay. The handmade wicker
is purchased in London, from Bob
McMurry, who, although be cannot see,
weaves lovely baskets.
Karen's • ..hangers, vary in design
according to their end: use,. For newborns, a
small, soft doll is given a seat in a hanger;
for young children, a Raggedy.Ann; doll is.
used, During the Christmas °season; `Karen
knots wreaths from rope and a wire frame.
This year, she hopes to fashion wreaths
from, jute; and decorate them with corn.
husks.
Karen, who is 22,usually uses, polyester
or jute rope for the hangers, but also uses,
wool. Materials are fairly expensive,
especially when .a ,doll, cerarnie pot or
beads are added to: the tab.
An elaborate hanger is therefore worth
S12 or $15. Karen hopes to set up her own
display at the Van iEgrnond Foundation
Ciderfest int• Egmondville on Sept.. 30 this
year, 'where' she will sell the craft, in past
years. Karen: has. operated out of the .ARC
booth.
Karen says she enjoys her craft because
it was an accomplishment for her.
"Karen was the only one who mastered
it at ARC," says Mrs. Whitmore,, "It's
something she personally does and: does
well."
Many of her macrame items are given
away to friends as,;gjfts. One of her hangers.
is now in New Zealand, where an ARC staff
member visited.:
Karen also finds it a challenge to do
orders, to get exactly the right shade and
right length for the finished product.
But macrame is her hobby,, she works as
a volunteer at the .Clinton and Seaforth
nurseries for one day each week during the
school year,
She says she enjoys working with
children, Karen also enjoys swimming and
crocheting, and is, now making an afghan.
Karen has been going to ARC for •four.
years, after she completed two years of
high school in Clinton, She has been
involved in the craft program there and is
presently taking life skills, which includes
swimming, trips, and visits to the library.
Karen is also the chief editor, of the ARC
newsletter, called. REAL, which carries,
recipes, news, reports of the. .classes and,
special events.
