For Jodie Priestly, creating her beautiful macrame wares is a way of reminding her of her late father.
"My love for knots (and the sea) started when I was quite young and we would go sailing on the family yacht every weekend," she said. "My dad taught my brother and I nearly every knot under the sun." 
She began with macrame plant hangers and wall features, and now offers ply and shelves and  leather designs.
