String Arts For Sale

String art, or pin and thread art, is characterized by an arrangement of colored thread strung between points to form abstractgeometric patterns or representational designs such as a ship's sails, sometimes with other artist material comprising the remainder of the work. Thread, wire, or string is wound around a grid of nails hammered into a velvet-covered wooden board. Though straight lines are formed by the string, the slightly different angles and metric positions at which strings intersect may give the appearance of Bézier curves (and often construct good approximations of quadratic Bézier curves). Other forms of string art include Spirelli, which is used forcardmaking and scrapbooking, and curve stitching, in which string is stitched through holes.
