Believe it or not, this portrait was made with a singe thread wound around nails.

Wow. How magnificent is that?

That looks even more tedious than crosstitch!

My life is hanging by a thread...

I think it's amazing that someone could do that, but honestly, why would you? Seriously?

ZenGum · 06-28-2012, 06:32 AM

For the sake of doing something amazing.

Remember the string art of the late '70's or '80's?

This is like string art to the nth degree! Done by someone who is probably extremely anal retentive. Or, perhaps a control freak?

Just the thought of plotting something like that gives me a migraine!!
