Welcome to my blog, greetings to our beloved community of #Needleworkmonday and #Steemitmamas. In this publication I worked on string art to participate in the big #Needleworkmonday contest.

Category 2 - Individual Project Entry

For this publication I wanted to choose something eye-catching and what better than the popular mickey mouse that in addition to being eye-catching, pretty, has some contrasting colors ideal for working on string art.

Doing this work was a new and wonderful experience, I really did not know that you could achieve artistic beauties with this art of strings, and my greatest joy is that I could achieve there with my own hands. It took me a bit of time first to see what string art consisted of then see several images on the Internet to visualize how it was the result of this great art, and finally make the decision on my design wanted to do a good job and knew that the contrast of colors as in the crochet weave plays a very important role, and wanted to do something that was striking so when I saw the mickey mouse I said this is what I want to do covers my main ideas, something eye-catching and with excellent color contrast.

Materials

  • Crochet thread (black, red, yellow, white and skin)
  • Scissors
  • Foami
  • Crochet sewing needle

  • Here are some photos of the process

    Step by step of the work

    The passage of the thread was made to raise from one hole to another to cover the image, the sections were covered in order of color, first everything that carried yellow, then everything red, then skin color, white and finally black color, with which was filled and then delineated the entire Mickey Mouse, to give a better finish and contrast of color to the finished design.

    This is definitely eye catching! You accomplished your mission! This is really fantastic work and it looks Fab!! It makes me so happy to hear you enjoyed doing this and now are aware of another needle art you can have fun with ;D

    Thank you so much for your entry!

    if thanks to you @crosheille I could describe that I can also do nice things with this other art with the needles. Thank you

    It’s such a pleasure and privilege organizing things for this community. ☺️

    I’m so glad you gave this new technique a try and enjoyed it ;)

    me encantó tu trabajo, te imaginas algo así en una cobija de bebe o un cojín para su cuna. de verdad que hacer esto de string art me despertó el conocimiento y me abrió una ventana para hacer practica de esta técnica en muchas cosas.

    si a mi también, naguara esos bordados en camisas y cosas de bebe debe ser genial. apenas mi hijo me escucho mencionar que podía hacer ese arte sobre ropa, me entrego una camisa suya para que le hiciera el Mickey Mouse en su camisa. Nunca había trabajado este arte de cuerdas, pero ahora que lo hice me gusto, y espero más adelante montar otras publicaciones con este arte.

    It is really striking the difference adding the black outline and detail makes.

    if the color contrast was essential, but the black outline gave it the special touch to highlight the Mickey Mouse.

    Te quedo bello, ya sabes que otra cosa regalarle a natascha pero mini mouse..

    Wow! That looks great! So much detail. You made a great project choice.
