String art device

A kit for making a string design, the kit comprising:

• a base board
• means for indicating locations on said board for fixing pins in said board in holes to be made by said pins in said board in a predetermined pattern of equally spaced pins that includes outline by said pins of a loop and diverging from one end of said loop into a first line of pins and a second line of pins,
• means for directing first wrapping of a string back and forth between the first line of pins and the second line of pins so that the string extends from a pin in the first line to a pin in the second line, in sequence of pin to spaced away adjacent pin in opposite directions on each line, taking an acute angle about each of the pins, forming a first dense layer of string,
• means for directing second wrapping of a string back and fourth between said first line of pins and said second line of pins so that the string extends from a pin in the first line to a pin in the second line, in sequence of pin to spaced away adjacent pin in opposite directions on each line, taking an acute angle about each of the pins, forming a second dense layer, extending over the first dense layer and exposing a portion of the first dense layer adjacent to an edge of the second dense layer forming a sculptured three dimensional shape with said first dense layer.

A three dimensional tactile string art item comprising:

• a base
• a plurality of pins mounted in holes in said base in a predetermined pattern of pins in a line that includes outline by said pins of a loop,
• a first length of string wrapped around a first pin at one part of the line of pins, extending to a second pin at another part of the line of pins along a first direction of progression, spaced a plurality of pins in the first direction of progression from the first pin, adjacent to the last pin wrapped at said other part of the line to the side of the last pin that is in the first direction of progression, extending back and fourth in sequence of pin to spaced away adjacent pin, taking an acute angle about each of the pins, forming a layer of string having a first internal diameter of an arc in said loop, so that a first dense layer of string is formed,
• a second length of string wrapped around a third pin at one part of the line of pins, extending to a fourth pin at another part of the line of pins along a second direction of progression, spaced a plurality of pins in the second direction of progression from the third pin, adjacent to the last pin wrapped in said second wrapping at said other part of the line to the side of the last pin that is in the second direction of progression, extending back and fourth in sequence of pin to spaced away adjacent pin, taking an acute angle about each of the pins, forming a layer of string having a second internal diameter of an arc in said loop, so that a second dense layer of string is formed which extends over said first dense layer, exposing a portion of the first dense layer adjacent to an edge of the second dense layer forming a sculptured three dimensional shape with said first dense layer.
