Project Overview & Aesthetic Design

A mystical, vertical wall hanging featuring a series of five connected gold hoops depicting the phases of the moon (crescent to full moon), woven with black and unbleached natural cotton cords.

Step-by-Step Execution Guide

  • Connect five small metal craft hoops (three 6-inch hoops, two 4-inch hoops) vertically using fine brass jewelry wire to form the moon sequence.

  • In the center “full moon” hoop, knot a tight, intricate diamond mesh pattern using 3mm natural cotton cord.

  • On the outer crescent hoops, weave asymmetrical half-hitch patterns using contrasting charcoal or black cord.

  • Attach 12 long working cords to the bottom of the lowest moon hoop.

  • Work diagonal clove hitches to create a long, tapered V-shaped arrow pointing downward.

  • Accent the central diamond knot with a raw wire-wrapped quartz crystal pendant.
