String Challenge

Blood Splatter

When I bought the red yarn, my intention was to just get a color that would stand out and be noticeable but then as I started experimenting with the yarn it reminded me of the show Dexter and how he would analyze blood splatter. So I went off of that and tried to duplicate something that looked like Dexter's blood splatter analyst.

Since I was out of town while doing this challenge, I liked the idea of leaving a mark of some sort. So I cut up some pieces of yarn and tied them on different things around town. I thought it would be cool to make people stop for a second and think to themselves, "Why is there a red string tied to this?" 

Yarn + Water = Yarn in Water 

I put a piece of yarn in water overnight to see what would happen to it. I thought that the yarn would unravel into smaller pieces of string but in reality, the yarn was so lightweight that it just floated on top of the water and didn't do anything. The water didn't even soak all the way through the yarn. 

Cats Cradle 

The balcony of the hotel we were staying in had a cool fencing, so I took the yarn and started to tie it around the fence. It reminded me of a cats cradle and I ended up keeping it there all weekend. 

Illusion

When I was doing the blood splatter look a like, I noticed that the mirror had a interesting look with the yarn just hanging in front of it. It looks like there are more then 6 pieces of yarn hanging and at first doesn't even look like it is hanging in front of the mirror.
