Two of them are variants of a craft I learned how to make in Middle or highschool called a God's Eye. One of them uses the traditional wooden cross frame while the other has a frame that results in an irregular hexagon shape. The general idea is that you start with a spoked frame and wrap string around the spokes in order, pulling tight between spokes. For both of the one's shown, the frames are made frompieces of struts from a broekn, Japanese-style umbrella... and the hexagonal one, even the yarn is recycled... I previously made a much larger one that used six full struts that I joined into three longer struts by wiring pairs together through the holes where they previously where hinged to the umbrella's tip and to the shorter struts that attached to the slider, an then wiring the three paired up struts so their doubled sections formed a triangle and the undoubled sections formed six spokes... It made for a large, six-sided eye with an empty central triangle and alternating sextants that wer triangular and trapazoidal... Sadly, the big eye proved fragile, two spokes broke off, leaving a capital A shape with an extended crossbar, making it kind of a Half-closed eye with a cape of lose yarns, but after a third spoke broke, I decided to unmake it and salvaged the yarn and some of the broken frame to make the hexagonal eye. maybe I'll try remaking the big eye if I find the remaining umbrella struts or can find something sturdier. Among the chipboard string art, we have: A 12" square with a central spoked decagon surrounded by five trapezoids. I tend to think of it as a gear, but I can also imagine it looking like a Ferris wheel to some. I believe this was my very first piece using this concept. I only show one side, but the other side is the mirror image(though if I cut the square down to a decagon and put a hanger centered on an edge instead of a corner, the design would be symmetric. it's only asymmetric because squares and decagons don't ling up symmetry wise. A 12" square with a central decagon, divided into five kites in the purple gradient yarn. Surrounding this are five darts done in a mustard yellow with greater thickness... a Kite and dart would join to form a rhombus with an obtuse angle of 108-degrees, the same as the angle of a regular pentagon, but the kites and darts are misaligned. The five-pointed star, which is different from the star you get from removing the interior lines of a pentagram is circumscribed with a second decagon, this one golden ratio larger than the central one in linear dimensions.. This, in particular, is one design I wish I could shrink down to fit on a can top as I imagine it would look quite stunning in copper and brass wire against the silvery finish of many food cans. A 12" square cut down to an approximation of a lens shape to make an image of an eye. Notably, while the jig for this was made with Zome, most of the lines that make up the iris are impossible with zome, and the decagon that boarders the pupil would actually require zero-length struts to make stable as the nodes are actually touching and only the spokes to the outer border of the iris hold them in place. The outer edge of the Iris uses Blue-0s and the pupil would technically require Blue 000 when official zome parts don't even include Blue 00(red is the only zome strut available in 00... and the size 0 for all strut colors came about when they discontinued manufacture of the size 3 struts). I have given thought to using black and a Complete K-10 graph to fill in the pupil, but haven't gotten around to finding suitable string for the job... I've also made attemptsat designing a slit-pupil eye, but my attempts thus far have ended up too wide at thecenter, too flat at the sides, or with dimples or gaps at the top/bottom of the eye... Zome is great, but when you hit it's limitations, you hit them hard. A rectangle of chip board(not sure of exact dimensions, but the width is probably around 6.25" to 6.5" and the length is probably about 10"), with an irregular dodecagram inscribed within an irregular dodecagon. The dodecagon is made from 4 each of blue, red, and yellow zome struts and in a certain sense is the sum of a blue square, a red golden rhombus, and a yellow golden ratio-squared rhombus... not sure I knew it at the time I made it, but adding a green square(which would be at a 45-degree angle to the blue one, I could make an irregular hexadecagon that would probably fit on a 12" square. Note, while a 12-pointed star can be made from red, blue, and yellow zome, it would be made of two-color parallelograms, the star here is made of lines connecting points for which there isn't a zome line that can do it, at least not without getting into non-standard parts. while the other chipboard string arts use chipboard bought off of Amazon that's probably about halfway between notepad weight and bookboard/gameboard weight, this one uses a piece of salvaged chipboard that's right at notepad weight, though I suspect it was used as backing for something in shipping as it lacks signs to suggest it came from a note pad(e.g. the edges are all machine cut, not the rough cut I would have managed with scissors or a utility/X-acto knife had I needed to cut offremnants of a notepad or notebook binding). Similar to the above, a 6" square of chipboard with an enneagram within an enneagon. This is also irregular, but much less noticeable than on the dodecagon, likely due to the zome enneagon being only two-tone and having three-fold symmetry. While my 12" chipboard is bare on both sides, my 6" chipboard has veneer on one side(I believe I got the white veneer, but I believe black was also available) and I only show the veneered side of the pieces using it. Also, instead of yarn, this one uses wire salvaged from severed cabling, the enneagon done in single wire(probably from separated twisted pair from ethernet cable but possibly from a USB cable or a proprietary data cable or a video cable) and the enneagram in twisted pair that almost certainly came from ethernet cable(sure, USB 2.0 cable has a twisted pair and an untwisted pair, but I've salvaged much more ethernet cable than USB cable, including at least one hundred footer, and ethernet cable has 4 twisted pairs). Another 6" square, this one at a 45-degree angle with a unicursal Hexagram. And lastly, a 6" square that just has the purple gradient yarn wrapped around it at a 45-degree angle. In retrospect, I'd probably be better off redoing this one with a square of plastic mesh so I can go all the way to the square's diagonals... This one is also kind of boring from a tactile stance.
