My last project before my art class ended for the semester had to do with using string in a three dimensional format. I had a cigar box which I painted with many coats of black paint. I then unsuccessfully tried to tie string in different configurations around the box keeping it very taut. Frustration quickly set in. I was unable to adhere the string tightly enough even after using all kinds of glue. I then trashed that idea. I decided to substitute wire for string and instead of wrapping the box, I used plastic stands taken from a children's board game and bent wire to fit into the slots. I liked the idea of incorporating one yellow stand. I finally glued all the pieces to the bottom of the box creating a minimal abstract design.
