    The Mandala Effect



    Does anyone else long for the days of funky stuff like geometric thread design art? I'd totally put one of these in my living room.

    Back in the day I did one featuring a sailing ship

    It came out ok but after a few months the strings started loosening and sagging

    Very cool when they're freshly done but they all have a limited lifespan

      My daughter would probably be down for this. She's a knitting and crocheting MACHINE.

            I have a vague recollection of one of these being in the house at some point, but I just can't remember which design it was.

              The packaging looks like the skating rink I used to go to as a kid.

                I remember making art like this in jr high school.
                In math class no less.

                I remember covering a board with red satin, adding the nails, then stringing it with black thread.

                  In our original dimension those are still popular.
                  You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
