Kind Words of a Fellow Macrame Artist...

Over the past few weeks, I have noticed a lot of new hemp jewelry designers on Etsy. Many of them are starting out, and although I'm sure they have much potential (We have have to start from somewhere, you should see some of my pieces from 10 years ago) None of them have particularly stuck out to me.

I did run by one person, who had very detailed pictures and consistent, tight knots in their pieces. This person's user name was Neicosknots.

I decided to convo her to compliment her on her wonderful pieces and pictures, and she asked me if it was okay if she would mind if we were mentioned in one of her blogs. I gratefully obliged.

After reading what she wrote in her blog titled "My Hemp Heroes" I was blown away.

"I'd like to take a moment to introduce you to PSYSUB. Aaron and Jessie create absolutely stunning hemp jewelry.

According to psysub's Etsy profile, "Our lives are encompassed with creative thought and contemplation on a almost constant basis regarding our products.... And most of all, we do it for the happiness!" In a recent convo with psysub, they told me "We're just some humble hippies trying to make a living doing what we love."

It definitely shows in their work. psysub's collection ranges from goth to psychedelic, and there's perfection in every piece. It's obvious from the moment you see their site that everything they create is made with a passion that few of us can match.

Aaron and Jessie have been a HUGE inspiration for me. Not only with their wonderful jewelry, but their dedication and graciousness as well.

Now you may be wondering: why am I promoting my competition? Well, the answer is quite simple. It's because psysub is Just That Good!"



Such nice words! This really made my day and warmed my heart. It takes a really humble person to compliment another person in the same field. This really reminded me of how we should share appreciation with other people without any walls created by whether or not we are selling similar items.
What I have noticed, is that there is a different crowd for every artist, and yes, this is true even for more hemp artists. It is in big part because of the online marketplace that hemp jewelry is becoming so versatile.

Here are some of my favorite pieces that Neicosknots has made:

Surely you can see the detail in her work. Very good. And I am all that much more excited about this because someone with so much talent complimented MY work.

Here's too appreciation for eachother's work, and making friends through common interests :-)
