String art is not a new fad; its origins go back to the 19th century. It is the brainchild of Mary Everest Boole who was in search of a way to introduce children to mathematical ideals. String art came back in the late 1960s as a decorative craft in the form of books and kits. Today, string art is utilized by art lovers young and old as a pastime, DIY project, and much more.
The entire concept revolves around a few simple tools and materials:
Wood board
Embroidery floss
Nails
Add to that a mind full of creative ideas and you have string art! The nails are hammered into the wood board in a distinct pattern. The embroidery floss is then used to follow the pattern and bring the design to life. The floss will criss-cross and wrap around the nails to fill in the blank space which results in a seemingly complex creation. Its detailed nature may lead one to believe that string art is exclusive to experienced artists with extensive knowledge. This is not the case. String of the Art has made it so that everyone can make their own string art creation!
