[Nfb-krafters-korner] String Art?

[ncbootman at gmail.com]

When I was a kid, We did this in Bible School one year. We made a sail boat 
with little nails and then wrapped colored twine to make the picture. II t 
was really pretty. But, one hard thing is getting all of your nails exactly 
the same depth and then wrapping all the string. Some were only wrapped once 
or twice and some a bunch of times. For a blind person, it would require a 
very simple picture. This sailboat would be an advanced level for a blind 
person as a first project. The sighted kids struggled and they had a picture 
to look at. So, a lot of time in planning would be required and the design 
of a piece and all. We had kits back then.

Do you think it would be possible to use a screen board or raised line
drawing kit of one kind or another to show the design for the string art?
Do you wrap the string around several times?  Is the end result attractive?

Hi Dixie,

The project you describe with the string art sounds familiar to me. I know I
made something like that but can't remember what it is. In a way it is like
creating a maze with string. I do believe a blind person could do something
like this if they wanted to do so. However, sighted help would be needed to
place the tee pin or whatever on the dots for the picture.

No, no, no, I am not prepared to teach such a class. <grin>  but I would
give it a try if someone else wanted to take on the challenge of figuring
out how to teach it.
