Reply to comment by Alex3M3TI8 in Trying to track down what happened to this enormous macrame wall hanging in a hotel lobby (Watergate?). My mom made it back in the 70s. Any thoughts on tracking it down appreciated. by jeremyjava

I hear you, /u/speedycat2014, and /u/alex3m3ti8, there's a lot of macrame oddness out there in the world. I learned at an early age to tell the artist of said oddness that their stuff was really nice and just not talk about my mom much.

If my mom had made a piece like that, I'd sure talk about it. I think the marcrame stuff my mom had was probably the 1980's equivalent of the "Not All Who Wander are Lost" / "It's Wine-o-clock somewhere" / "Live, Laugh Love" AirBnB 'art' stuff.

Understood for sure; still it was a little awkward to say things like, "Say, great owl bead pubes you selected there... by the way, have you seen my mom's piece on the cover of Cosmo or Vogue?

Edits: added link/clarity/fixed typo, etc

Yknow, I was going to point out that I think they're virtually identical to the cover stories today, 50 yrs later.
