Fun art project from Brob on Instructables "Build a square wooden frame with nails all around. Tie string round the nails and repeat until all nails are used. You should be left with a cool circle shape and a nice piece of art for very little cost." Link.

It's not like this is new or anything. It is more retro (from the seventies) than it is something revolutionair. It's just cool someone posts it for other people, since the result is neat.

Gotta agree with Unomi...this isn't new, or even especially tricky. Most basic geometry texts have some version of the same principle. Some really good, creative example can be found here.

i remember doing this stuff when i was a kid - 25 or 30 years ago.
Ojos de Dios are also neat retro things to make. Along with macrame, applique, decoupage, etc...

wow. I'm honoured to be on the MAKE blog. I love this site!
Anyway I agree with the comments, it's not ground breaking and yes there are plenty of more advanced string art examples out there. Hopefully ppl reading this and clicking those links will make something way more advanced than my basic design. I'm just glad more than one person looked at it.
Thanks to all the ppl at MAKE and Instructables.

well I havee to agree, none of his string art is original, actually none of Andres Amador's artwork seems to be original. Plagarism comes to mind. He seems to be more of a xerox machine and technician vs. artist.
Calling this spaghetti of string "art" is an insult to true artists
