Nail & Thread String Art

Sheet-driven string-art films — brass nails are tapped along each motif's outline on a stained walnut board, cotton thread is wound chord by chord so every curve emerges only as an envelope of straight chords, kraft tags and nail-and-thread counters are nailed on, and titles are burned in with a travelling pyrography ember. One JSON sheet drives the film.

Nail & Thread String Art

How it works

  1. Author a JSON sheet: motifs in board space with t0/nailSpan/windSpan

  2. Set palette and camera keys; nails tap in first, then the chords wind

  3. Build with scripts/build.mjs, iterate on stills, then render the film
