MM 3 January 2022: Pushing the Envelope
Macro Mondays theme: Cotton
My binraker husband brought in a discarded sequin art kit about a week before Christmas. I had some flocked black adhesive paper for lining jewelry boxes, so I thought I would try a little miniature string art with the tiny pins. The circle has a diameter of 7cm (~2.75 inches). He had just been talking about filography, the art of thread sculpture, and remembering a large piece he had done in wire in the 80s. I remembered the popularity of the trend but never got around to trying it. Now I can say I have. It had its moments, but the pins in the polystyrene had trouble resisting the pull of the thread, found when I cleared out my mom's stuff a few years back. The No. 8 pearl cotton thread was manufactured by Anchor Coats in Pakistan. It seems fitting that the video tutorial I followed was done by a Pakistani artist. The title is a reference to the math involved. No, I do not understand it but find it all fascinating just the same.
