@versostudiomelaine WOW !!! I've seen your work before !!! I must tell you that I'm an artist too; but different materials. When I go to my art supply stores, I am really hooked on the magazines and book section. I buy magazines/books even if it's not the craft I do; because I like to use other artists ideas (how to photos) to inspire me.... (Cross media) ex. I bought a book about Architecture and stained glass,..... to inspire me to do an art (picture) quilting. ❤🤩 I believe that I ACTUALLY SAW ..... AND PURCHASED A MAGAZINE THAT HAD YOUR ART WORK ON THE COVER !!! ....... and still have the M😍🥰. I bought the magazine because of your work..... It's VERY INSPIRING !!! I have also done a little bit of embroidering work around the neck & sleeves of a shirt that looks alot like where you are twisting the little small round wires. So I won't be 'STEALING' YOUR CUSTOMERS; JUST KNOW that YOU as an ARTIST ....... INSPIRED ME as an ARTIST. 🥰 New subscriber !!!

It can also be used as a material for making roofs and walls for bahay kubo (huts). Seeing that abaca is used in many countries around the world is a big source of pride for us Filipinos.
