This week, my art teacher gave us the brief of our project for the term. One of the requirements is research, as per usual, but consisted of taking sections of artworks, and replicating them in different media such as black pen, koki pens, pins and thread, etc. Literally anything, apart from pencil.
The incredibly 70's idea of pins and thread happened to be the most appealing to me, and ran through my head for a large amount of the day, which eventually led to my sharing this with you.
I find the technique very intriguing, as one does tire from the ever common graphite pencil. After researching through every corner of the interweb, and finding the piece below, I was sold. It looks a little tricky, but I'm sure that if I execute it well enough, the 2D/3D effect will look really good.
If you're just as interested in this as I am, you can find a very good tutorial here on how to create your own small scale pin and thread artwork.
The piece below called 'Fly Away Home' is by Debbie Smyth. It is absolutely stunning, and I'm currently in a state of complete awe... Apart from the beauty of it, can we just acknowledge the sheer size of this piece! If I had ever doubted it before, this piece confirms that there's real talent in the world...
Wish me luck!
