Wednesdays are a good day for confession. So here it is: Last year, I saw this book on String Art and I decided that I must own it.
I kept my secret to myself until I was brave enough to mention it at Brown Owls one night. Then I kept it squandered away for another few months until string art was a competition on comedy-game show called Talkin' Bout your Generation.
I finally mentioned it to Craig. We talked about string art from our childhoods. I had a black felt piece with a train on it. He had once created the Golden Gate bridge. I showed him the photos from the book and he noted the bridge was just like his.
Somehow the tv show had made string art briefly ok, so I posted something in my facebook status. A decision I quickly regretted. I was too slow to remove it. Curlypops spied the status and asked to see photos on my blog. I was embarrassed. My book returned to the shelf. I kept it hidden a while longer.
My name is Amy. I own a book about string art. This afternoon, I'm going to the hardware store to buy some nails.
yo girl that book is coooool! hahaha! make us some string art eye candy.

ReplyDeleteMy parents had a string art owl that I loved as a child. I was really sad when they got rid of it. Yay for string art!
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten about string art! My 1970 craft era confession? I bought myself a spirograph. Wouldn't a spirograph inspired string art project be perfect???
