Born Roberto Alejandro,

The 2nd generation of Macrame-Swagg was inspired by the birth of my third child ‘Amelia Joy’. We needed a nursery lamp, for our new baby girl. I came across a D.Y.I. macrame’ project for a nursery room lighted carousel, complete with porcelin horses. Produced in the mid 1980’s. These were made of Colorful 4mm Poly-cord in addtion to natural Hemp-Jute.
