String art ideas!

Francis_theythem

Recently started a type of art called string art. You draw an outline of something on paper and then stick pins in place of the lines and wind string around it to create patterns/pictures made of string on top of paper. If this is hard to follow I posted a photo of a flower I made in kaleidoscope so you can see. 

The question is...my trauma has blocked my creativity and imagination so it's really hard for me to think about what to make and then I can't make anything. So to all the crafty people on here, I'm looking for relatively simple ideas/easy outlines to draw for making things.

L shaped lines of pins look good. Perhaps one in a bottom left hand corner and one in the top right hand corner upside down.

There are lots of examples and tutorials on YouTube about string art which might help?

It would be great if you could continue to post any photos of the string art which you do as the one you posted of the flower was lovely ??

I watched a gardening YouTube channel about how to take cuttings from Lavender as I had never done that and it really helped. The other channels gave me some great ideas about taking cuttings from other plants as well??

This sounds like a great idea @Francis_theythem! I hope you enjoy doing it. I imagine it would be quite relaxing.
