A string thing...

I think I have developed an addiction to this string! I originally bought 3 balls of it when I was experimenting with Stock Photography. I bought it because I loved the look of it wound up into a ball. Recently it's been making it's way into my artwork as well. I made this 'string thing' because I felt compelled too. My son called it a fishing net! I can see the relation! To me it's a string thing and for the purpose of photo I wrapped it over this beautiful book my Dad gave to me.


Isn't it a shame that this book was drawn in, used as a tester for a pen and then left deserted in a box? My Dad found it and passed it on! Good on ya Dad! (The date on the book says 1925, made in Czehcozlovakia.)

  2. John is on to something with his macramé.Your string would be excellent for it.

    The book is a real beauty and worth treasuring. Good Help indeed! Everybody needs it.

    Hugs,

  3. The string does make a good photography subject, I had a student who used to wrap things in string to discover their contour lines... The book is really precious.
