A string art pattern featuring a sea shell has been added to the pattern collection at the String Art Fun web site. If you are a string art enthusiast or fancy having a go at string art this is an easy pattern to start with.

I designed the pattern after receiving a request from string art enthusiast Linda, who said “I am a teacher in a low-income area and would really like to have my students create a nautilus shell using string art”.

String art involves the use of nails hammered into a wooden board and wound with string to form a picture. It is like a jumbo version of prick and stitch card making. If you are new to string art there is a step-by-step demonstration showing how string art pictures are made on the String Art Fun web site.
