He used a 3D nylon sintering printer. I figured it should be able to be made by hand.
My mistake was kerfing the sticks. I did it so that I could have slots to put the strings in. Unfortunately this a) allowed the sticks to bend more then they would've otherwise, b) made it so that the strings were "split." Each colour essentially flows down two "plains" instead of one. Oh well.
A great musician I came across during a recent gallery walk. He's playing a very special 8 string guitar.

You know that thing where I get bored standing at the till and I start looking for stuff to do? I found stuff ...
It involved string and glue which led to a game of bondage with the till keys. It was messy. It was fun.

The red balloon one is not yet finished ... it seems to work better if the glue dries a bit between layers of string.
I sewed the blocks together, added a little tiny border because it turns out that I had trimmed my blocks to be too tiny, and made a cover for this plain sketchbook.
same old string line from yesterday. still fully functional, the powder is bright purple. i cleaned out my toolboxes after fixing up my bike last week, so this guy and a few other bits got hauled out to pose. since the light was haywire, i shot about fifty frames of it, so expect to be bored by more or just flee the site now.
I was tidying up the back of a cupboard a few weeks ago, and came across the old party games stuff. These were from ring-on-a-string, and the keys-on-a-string games - do you know them? Anyway, we haven't played them for about 20 years, so I decided the time had come to release the potential of the string! It is now all neatly balled up and ready for action. I do love string - very low-tech, useful, girl- or boy-scout type stuff, no batteries, no electronics, no computer chips! I also love the old Ostermilk tin which my dad made into a string dispenser, and which I inherited from him and mum :-)
In other news... I did a bit of cleaning, put some mastic sealant around the outside of the patio door, where Storm Dennis was trying to come in [yes, I know it says on the tube 'do not use if rain is imminent' but it wasn't imminent, as it was already chucking it down ;-) ] and popped over to see Bethan, James and Bea for a while. Quite a bit of wind and rain about.
