String me along

String art, or pin and thread art, is characterized by an arrangement of colored thread strung between points to form abstract geometric patterns or representational designs such as a ship's sails, sometimes with other artist material comprising the remainder of the work... bla bla bla.

You can read more about its origins and what not HERE .

So, what does any of this have to do with me? good question. My dad had made a piece of string art once upon a time and it’s been hanging in the house since as long as I can remember (Featured below).





















So relatively recently i decided to have a go at it. So far i have completed 4 pieces. Artists are unfortunately their own worst critics and so I think they don't compare to the bad boy my dad made.

But I will continue to make them and hopefully get good at them. They however extremely time consuming.

I have added 3 of my creations. Let me know what you think. They um, look a lot cooler in real life... I'm serious... the lighting was bad... n stuff...

About Me

My photo
Lets just begin by saying there are no words to describe me, you have to experience me. But I’ll try anyway. I’m kind of a big deal really, but my humility keeps me in check. I’m a six foot something, dark haired, dark eyed object of desire. Wait, I’m getting a little off track here. I work as a Multi-media designer. I used to do work as a hair model. I have many business interests and am well versed when it comes to things like stocks, bonds, funds and um… things of that nature. FTSE, NASDAQ, you get the point. Play guitar like I was born with it. Like it was my third arm that was impractical when it came to daily functions, but was pretty cool to have when I wanted to jam. I also enjoy poetry, particularly Haiku’s. Origami is another one of my hobbies. All in all, I enjoy candle lit dinners, loose fitting clothes, long walks on the beach, films with Edward Norton, double toffee ice-cream and I want to learn languages.
