Using string art to create a word

So last week I was online looking up string art and came across the website in the link in the blog below and I decided I wanted to try that out.....so I did!

As you can see my maths needs a little bit of practice when planning out big projects like this but I was just so excited about trying it out I went ahead with it. Today I decided to paint the strings and the black letters with UV paint and to let it drip down giving it an untidy look.

I was hoping that the effect would turn out how I planned but I've yet to find out because I can't find anyone with an ultraviolet light. Fingers crossed it turns out correctly. But at least I tried and experimented!

NOTE TO SELF: Look up this site

String Art in my acrylic box

So I went down to my old school and made a box out of clear acrylic. Yes...I drilled the holes myself that's why in real life the box looks a little dodgey and unfinished.....bit of a wobbly hand! But the way the strings turned out made me think of structural forms from DCG. I researched that and came across some really really class string art so I'm really thinking of doing something like that next!! just need to choose a design and do that over the weekend.

I've been thinking how to realte this back to light though. It does represent light movement because it is like a load of strobe lights and also its moving light because the strings being so taught creates movement when you move it. I was thinking of getting UV paint and covering some of the strings in it and taking pictures of it in a really dark room!



PS....Its the first blog of this month so......HAPPY DECEMBER!!!

Update

I made a box out of clear acrylic in my old school so soon I should be able to put up pictures of how thats going. I also just made a kind of mobile thing. Not sure if its going to be thrown in the bin in a few minutes but for now its hanging off my desk :)

BIGGER

I want to go bigger and better with my work!! So if the material is available.....watch this space!!!

The idea :)

A box.
Yes a box. But a box that has loads of string inside it making it look more amazing in person rather than what it looks like here in this photo!

The straight lines create curves themselves. This happens because of how tight I pull it and where the strings actually go to.

End of week 8

IDEAS!!! I have some ideas!!! I shall post again once I create these ideas :D They shall be smashing!!
